Hallam L. Movius, Jr. '30, Curator of Palacolithic Archaeology at Peabody Museum, has announced the discovery of a pebble.
This pebble is as big as an Idaho potato, and one of the finest ever brought to light; A party of University geologists found it this summer while digging in eastern France.
About 25,000 years ago, some cave-men decided it had supernatural powers. They were-hunting horses that afternoon so they scratched a picture of a horse on the pebble for good luck.
