Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 56: April, 1956
The size of the audience for Prof. Millar Burroughs' talk on the Dead Sea Scrolls compelled two changes of hall in February, with Sayles finally filled to capacity. The former Chairman of Brown's Biblical Literature Department has been deeply involved in the scrolls since their discovery. He had a facsimile of one scroll to show and told how it took a scroll 24 feet long to accommodate the complete text of Isaiah.
Someone in an earlier audience had asked him what animal would yield a skin 24 feet long. Dr. Burroughs sug gested that the cutting might have been spiral.
And then there was the student who left Brown to get married. He put the heart before the course.
