The key whieh baree the secrete so long
hidden behind the Etruscan and old
Italic ineeriptions has a t laat beea dis
covered by Professor George Hempl,

Experienced in hia investigation* i t
old German inscriptions and - rules,
Professor Hempl was able to accom
plish in n single night the feat under
taken by science agec ago and never
before pushed to a successful conclu
sion. Members of the faculty who were
present at the lecture of Dr. Hempl be

I t has beea the generally accepted
view among historians th at the E trus
cans were an element entirely foreign
to their n eighbor^-the Romaoe. This
theory is entirely and conclusively'over
turned by Professor Hempl, whose 1«
vestigations prove a great similarity
between the Roman and Etruscan lan

yet the little work he has done
