CCORDING to the Regulations of the American School

of Classical Studies at Athens, it is the duty of the

Director to make a full report to the Managing Committee at

the end of his term of service. This report, with those of

the Secretary of the Committee, is regularly published as the
Bulletin of the School for the previous year.

Owing to the lamented death, on October 26, 1884, of
Professor Lewis R. Packard, the Director of the School
during its second year, it becomes my sad duty to make
good, as best I may, the report which Professor Packard was
Mot able to write. From his letters to me, and from
bimer sources, I have: written a brief account of the
School during the year of his directorship. The present
Bulletin contains also the Resolutions on the death of
Professor Packard moved by the Committee on November
21, 1884, and drafted by the first Director of the School;
a Memoir, requested by the Committee on May 15, 1885,
and written by the President of the Archzological Insti-
tute of America; and the reports of the Secretary of the
Committee for its two sessions held on May 16 and
November 21, 1884.

Professor Packard accepted the directorship unanimously
offered him by the Committee from a strong sense of duty
to his College and to the cause of learning, but with serious
misgiving. He doubtless over-exerted himself in making his
preparations for departure, as the sea-voyage did not prove
to be of that benefit to his health which his physicians
had hoped. He fell seriously ill during the summer at4 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

Lucerne, and was detained there until the end of Sep-
tember. He had hardly arrived at Athens when he was
again prostrated. His illness laid fast hold upon him, and,
although bravely combated with all the force of his resolute
spirit, was too strong to be overcome. No situation could
be more pathetic than was his. Surrounded on all hands
by objects of supreme interest to him, his eager spirit was
held in utter check by the feebleness of his body.” Por
eight months he lived under the shadow of the Acropolis,
but only once, toward the end of the year, was he able to pass
through its ancient gate-way and stand upon its summit,
and look abroad, for the last time as it proved, upon the
fair land and sea, where once the mighty people held sway
whose history, literature, and life had been for years the
object of his devoted and appreciative study.

The report of the work of the School for 1883=1884
which is here given is confined to a mere statement of
facts, and is necessarily meagre. Had Professor Packard,
as he had fondly hoped, been able to study upon the ground
the many problems demanding solution which present them-
selves to the Committee in charge of the School, his counsel
would have been of the greatest value. Those who knew
him, who had discerned under a quiet exterior the extent of
his learning and the independence of his judgments, who saw
how strong and brilliant his mind was, and how quick and
sympathetic his comprehension of all the new aspects which
the study of Classical Antiquity is constantly presenting,
will understand the great loss which the lovers of ancient
learning in America have sustained through his inability to
address them upon the themes which lay so near his heart,

and on which he was so singularly well-fitted to speak.

JOHN WILLIAMS WHITE,

NOVEMBER I, 1885. Chairman of the Committee.BeaOoLnUTIONS OF, THE COMMIELEE.

ESOLVED, that, as members of the Managing Committee
of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens,
we have suffered a great and irreparable loss by the death of
our late associate, Professor Lewis R. Packard. Our deepest
sympathies were with him during the year of his directorship
at Athens, which began with bright hopes soon to be clouded
by ever deepening sorrow; and we now testify to our appre-
ciation of the great sacrifice which he made for us by
remaining bravely at his post in his determination to serve,
so far as his powers permitted, the interests he had in charge.
We shall always remember most gratefully that he devoted
his last and most precious strength to the good of the
School in the promotion of whose welfare we were all
united.

Resolved, that we place on record our deep sense of the
loss which classical learning in the United States has sus-
tained by the death of a scholar who by his untiring zeal, his
conscientious accuracy, and his strict fidelity to every duty
did so much to advance the cause of sound scholarship

among us.MEMOIR.

EWIS R. PACKARD, late Hillhouse Professor of Greek

at Yale College, and second Annual Director of the

American School of Classical Studies at Athens, was born in

Philadelphia on the 22d of Augu8t, 1836. He died at New
Haven on the 26th of October, 1884.

His life from youth was that of a scholar, and its course
was of unusual tranquillity and purity.

On leaving College in 1856 it was his intention to devote
himself to the Christian ministry. Having obtained a gradu-
ate scholarship he continued his studies for a year at New
Haven. In 1857-8 he visited Europe, and entering the Uni-
versity at Berlin, gave himself especially to the study of Greek.
In the spring of 1858 he visited Greece, and derived from
this visit not merely that actual acquaintance with localities,
scenery and climate, by which the impressions derived from
books are corrected and vivified, but also, what is even of
more importance, that quickening of the imagination by
which a student is brought into vital sympathy with the
thought and life of the writers of past times from whose
works his intelligence has derived its best nurture. Mr.
Packard’s finely-strung temperament, quick and delicate per-
ceptions, and natural appreciation of excellence, fitted him in
a rare degree to profit by the opportunities afforded by his
residence in Europe. On returning to America in 1859 he
was appointed tutor in Yale College, and, four years after-
ward, he was elected Professor of Greek. In 1866 having8 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

been made Hillhouse Professor of Greek, he went again to
Europe, and spent the winter Of 1866-67 in Athens; ie
turning in 1867 he resumed his work as Professor, and ~
the next sixteen years closely devoted himself to the duties
of his office.

Faithful, laborious, accurate in his own scholarship, with a
high and exacting standard of personal attainment, he ex-
pected and demanded of his students thoroughness in prepa-
ration of their work, and fidelity in the performance of the
task assiened to them. He was an example. to them <con
earnestness of purpose, and conscientious discharge of duty.”

He was heartily devoted to the welfare of the College of
which he was an officer, and found full occupation and inter-
est in the promotion of sound learning and manly discipline
within its walls.

When still a young man, not more than thirty-five years of
age, he was attacked by an insidious, chronic disease, which
thenceforward allowed him but a precarious hold on life. But
he did not relax his efforts in the pursuit of learning, or in
the performance of the stated duties of his post.

He took an active interest in the work of the American
Philological Association, and in 1881 he delivered as its
President, at its Annual Meeting, a striking address on the
‘Morality and Religion of the Greeks.” The address exhibits
the serious thoughtfulness, the liberal temper, the solid learn-
ing of its author. It is the expression of the carefully formed
opinions of a student of life as well as of books, upon a topic
of wide human interest, indicating the true final object of the
enlightened student of Philology to be the knowledge of man,
and the acquisition of the means for the judgment of conduct,
and the understanding of history, and not, as its votaries too
frequently give reason for Supposing, mere acquaintance with
forms of speech, interpretation of texts, and compilation ofMEMOIR. 9

isolated facts. This address remains as a dignified, and not
altogether insufficient memorial of the character as well as
the attainments of its writer.

Professor Packard was the original member from Yale Col-
lege of the Committee on the School at Athens, and he was
the unanimous choice of its other members as the successor
of Professor Goodwin in the Directorship of the School. The
frail condition of his health caused him to hesitate seriously
in respect to accepting the position, but finally, with the hope
that the residence of a year in Greece might be of benefit to
his physical condition, he consented to the wish of the Com-
mittee. The hope in which he had been encouraged proved
vain; his malady increased upon him, and the whole of his
stay at Athens was a period of illness and depression. Hus
last services to learning were rendered as Director of the
School. He returned home in June, 1884, and four months
afterward he died. He had lons fronted death with a com-
posure based upon firm religious convictions and principles.
His cheerful composure lasted to the end.

There*was a rare unity in the character and life of Profes-
sor Packard. His moral nature gave force and direction to
his intellectual aims. The clearness-of his mind was the
symbol of the purity of his soul. The accuracy of his learn-
ing bore the stamp of his moral integrity. Singularly modest,
simple and sincere, his work as a scholar afforded constant
illustration of the prevailing traits of his disposition, —it was

For THE YEAR 1883-1884.

ROFESSOR PACKARD arrived at Athens with his

family October 6, 1883, and at once opened the School
in the house on the “Odds ’Awadéas which had been occupied
by the Director during the first year. He had suffered from
serious illness on his journey South, and had requested Dr.
J. R. 5S. Sterrett, who was then at Smyrna, about to depart
into the interior of Asia Minor in prosecution of epigraphi-
Cal ftesearches, to return to Athens and assist him in con-
ducting the work of the School. Dr. Sterrett generously
relinquished his own plans, and returning to Athens devoted
himself with great fidelity to the interests of the Schoo!
until May, 1884. He then joined Mr. W. M. Ramsay at
Smyrna, which had been agreed upon as the starting-point of
an archzeological journey to be made in Asia Minor during
the following summer. Dr. Sterrett had been a member of
the School during 1882-1883, and his experience enabled
him to be of much service to the two students who were
members during the second year. By his own example of
untiring work, and by his willingness to render aid in every
possible way, he did much to make good the loss which they
sustained in consequence of the protracted illness of the
Director. Toward the end of October Professor Packard was
prostrated by an attack of fever, and from this he recov-
ered very slowly. He was confined to the house until the end
of January, and after this he had not the strength to direct
the work of the School except by occasional advice. The12 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

evening meetings, which had been a pleasant and profitable
feature of the School’s work during the first year, and to
which Professor Packard had looked forward with high antici-
pation, were necessarily abandoned. Notwithstanding his
feeble condition of health, Professor Packard remained at
Athens until near the end of the year, not sailing for New
York until May 25, 1884.

During the year valuable additions were made to the
library under the orders of the Director. These were
mainly books and monographs on archeology, being espe-
cially such as deal with questions relating to Athens and
Attica. The amount expended on the library by the Com-
mittee was $661.59. In addition to this sum, $500 was gen-
erously contributed by a friend of the School then temporarily
in Athens. The books purchased with this gift were selec-
ted by the Hon. Eugene Schuyler, at that time Minister
of the United States at Athens. The entire expemicsmar

The remittance to Dr. Sterrett was sent by unanimous vote
of the Committee, ‘as an expression of their gratitude for
the services rendered by him to the School, and of their
interest in and high appreciation of the results of his personal
studies.” The expenses of Dr. Sterrett’s journey during the
summer of 1884 were paid with the sums just mentioned,

and an additional amount of $402, contributed by various
friends of the School.KEPORT ON THE SCHOOL. 13

during the year. These were

Notwithstanding the special disadvantage under which
these gentlemen labored in consequence of the illness of the
Director, the work accomplished by them is worthy of high
commendation. With the exception of about a month, they

was of valuetothem. They were received with especial cour-
tesy at the German School, and were invited to attend its
meetings. Mr. Bridgman travelled with one of its members
for two weeks in Attica, Thessaly, and Phocis.

Mr. Bridgman’s work may be summarized as follows. He
first made himself acquainted in a general way with the
topography and antiquities of the city, pursuing at the same
time the study of modern Greek and making local excur-
sions. After a short journey in Peloponnesus, he devoted
three month’s study to the architecture of the Parthenon
and to the Erechtheum; to this he afterwards added a
general survey of the other ancient constructions and of the
Contents of the museums. He then made a tour fo Ther
mopylae, Delphi, and Thebes, and a second journey through
Peloponnesus. After this he visited Smyrna, Assos, and the
Troad, and later Sicily. Two months of the following sum-

mer were spent in the art museums of Italy, Munich, and14 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

London. His thesis will probably discuss the Isthmus of
Corinth.

Mr. Wilcox arrived in Athens October 6, 1883, and
left it finally June 13, 1884. ‘Me entered the School =a:
a member of the second of the two classes named in the
report of the Director of the previous year, Mot asia
specialist in archzeology, but as a general student of classic
antiquity, for general cultivation in Greek studies. “His
work in Athens, apart from his study of Modern Greek,
comprised an examination of nearly all the remains of anti-
quity in the city ; but he devoted most time to the Propylaea,
with especial reference to the ancient Greek entrance-way and
to the older Propylaea. He made a careful study also of the
Parthenon, with especial reference to the older buildiie!
His thesis will discuss some parts of the Propylaea. Out-
side of Athens, Mr. Wilcox:spent about séven weels am
Greece, two in Asia Minor, and two. in Sicily and lower
Italy. The rest of the twelve months of study required by
the Regulations of the School he spent in the museums of
art in Germany, Italy, and London.

It is probable that the theses of Mr. Bridgman and Mr.
Wilcox will be included in the second volume of Papers
of the School, which, it is hoped, will be published during
the year 1885-1886.

Besides the two regular members there were temporarily
connected with the School Mr. Edward G. Coy (Yale, 1869),
of Phillips Andover Academy, and Mr. Hamilton King (Oli-
vet College, 1882), Principal of the Preparatory Department
of Olivet College. These gentlemen arrived at Athens in

March, accepted the hospitality of the School, and took
part in some of the excursions.REPORS

OF THE

MEETINGS OF. THE MANAGING COMMITTEE.
May 16, 1884.

HE Managing Committee of the American School of
Classical Studies at Athens held its fifth regular semi-
annual meeting on Friday, May 16, 1884, at the house of
Protessor C. E;-Norton, Cambridge, Mass. Present, Profes-
sors White (Chairman), Goodwin, Norton, Van Benschoten,
Tyler, Sloane, and General Palfrey.

The Secretary being absent, Professor Sloane was ap-
pointed Secretary pro tem.

The Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and ap-
proved.

The Chairman reported as follows :—

That in December, 1883, he had appointed General Palfrey,
Mr. de Peyster, and Professor Sloane, as the provisional
committee on endowment.

That he and Mr. Ludlow had, as directed by the Commit-
fee, sent a circular letter to the President and Faculty, and
also to the Professor of Greek, of each cooperating college,
stating what opportunities the School offers, inviting them
to call the attention of their students to these, and asking
them to urge upon their Trustees the establishment of
scholarships.

That the certificates for the students of the School were

ready for signature.16 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

That his third report to the Archzeological Institute, con-
taining a codification of the regulations of this ‘Conmuttee:
was now ready, and that he requested suggestions from
members of the Committee as to any necessary alterations
before the final adoption of that code at the next November
meeting.

That he had sent an invitation to the University of Penn-
sylvania to join in the support of the School, and that this
had been accepted.

That the total number of colleges that had agreed to
contribute to the support of the School was now fifteen,
and that the total paid up income for the past year was
$ 3,200.

A preliminary report from Professor Packard, the Director
of the School, was read and ordered to be placed on file.

General Palfrey reported that the provisional committee
on endowment were unanimous and emphatic in the opinion
that the times made present action unadvisable. The com-
mittee was continued.

The whole matter of a house, building-lot, and whatever
pertains to the permanent establishment of the School in
Athens was referred to Professor Van Benschoten, with the
request that he should report as early after his arrival at
Athens as possible.

It was voted that a letter of thanks be sent to the gentle-
man who had contributed $500 to the library of the School
but desired his name to be withheld, signed by the Chairman
and by the first and second Directors of the School.

Protessor Van Benschoten read a letter asking whether
the School was open to women, and whether the committee
would receive Miss Julia Latimer among its students.

It was voted that Miss Latimer be informed that the
privileges of the School would be extended to her on theMEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE. LZ

conditions mentioned in Article VIII. of the Regula-
tions.

The Chairman read an application from Daniel Quinn,
of Mount St. Mary’s College, for membership in the School.
The certificates presented were deemed satisfactory, and his
application was granted.

A letter from Professor B. L. Gildersleeve, declining the
appointment as fourth Director, was read.

ii wes voted to elect a Direetor.-and an altemate to
succeed Professor Van Benschoten. Dr. Drisler was unani-
mously elected Director, and Professor D’Ooge alternate.

The Chairman made a statement with regard to the
previous action of the Committee in making a grant of
$500 to Dr. Sterrett in consideration of his work for the
School during Dr. Packard’s illness, and expressed the de-
sirability of connecting Dr. Sterrett permanently with the
School in some position, such as that of Secretary to the
Director. He also read letters describing Dr. Sterrett’s in-
tended journey. Professor Norton stated that the Executive
Committee of the Archzological Institute, being desirous to
promote Dr. Sterrett’s work and researches, might supple-
ment any remuneration which this Committee voted to pay
him.

It was voted that Dr. Sterrett be appointed Secretary of
the School for the coming year, at a salary of $500.

The first paragraph of the resolution of the sub-com-
mittee on publication was changed so as to read.: “Titere
shall be published annually, after the meeting of the Man-
aging Committee in November, a Bulletin which sua con-
tain the reports for the previous year of the Director of
the School and of the Secretary of the Committee, with
any other items of information relating to the School not

‘*
included in these reports.18 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

The third paragraph was changed so as to read: Une
publications of the School shall be in charge of a perma-
nent editor, to be elected by the Managing Committee, and
shall be edited by him with the assistance of the Mirector
under whom the papers have been written, and of the. See

The following appropriations for 1884-85 were voted :
¢1,000 for the use of the Director in payment of rent and
service; $1,000 for the library; $400 for incidental expen-
ses and furniture.

Secretary pro tem.MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE.

NOVEMBER 21, 1884.

The Managing Committee of the American Schoo! of
Classical Studies at Athens held its sixth regular semi-annual
meeting on Friday, November 21, 1884, at the house of
Professor William M. Sloane, Princeton, N. J. Present,
Professors White (Chairman), Norton, Goodwin, Drisler,
Sloane, Harkness, General Palfrey, Messrs. de Peyster and
Ludlow.

The minutes of thé last regular meeting were read and
approved.

It was voted that the Chair appoint a committee of three
to draw up appropriate resolutions upon the death of Pro-
fessor. Lewis RK. Packard, late Director of the Schoo! at
Athens, and a member of this Committee. The Chair ap-
pointed Professors Norton, Drisler, and Goodwin, as the
committee.

The Chairman announced that, in accordance with the
resolution passed at the meeting of November 16, 1883,
publication of the theses of the students of the first year had
been begun, and that the first volume of Papers of the School
would probably be issued before March 1, 1885.

The Treasurer then read his report and a statement of his
accounts, showing that there remained a balance in the treas-
ury to the credit of the School of $1,910.21.

A letter was read from J. H. C. Bonté, Esq., Secretary of
the Board of Regents of the University of California, stating
that the acceptance of the invitation of the Committee by
the Regents, in March, 1883, was provisional, and that they
were now obliged to withdraw their subscription. Another
letter was read from Dr. William Pepper, Provost of the20 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

University of Pennsylvania, announcing the withdrawal of
that University from the association of colleges supporting
the School.

It was voted that the Chair appoint a committee of two
to audit the Treasurer's accounts, Dr. Drisler and Mi.
Ludlow were appointed.

It was voted that the Treasurer have printed for the
use of the Committee, after the auditing of his accounts, a
detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures of the
Committee for each year of the School, from the begin-
ning, and that he add to this statement an itemized account
for the previous year, and an estimate of the income and
expenditure of the next year.

The Chairman: interpreted the ‘srant of #500 made an
the last meeting to Dr. Sterrett as Secretary of the School
as implying that eight months’ service was expected; and
that for such time, therefore, as Dr. Sterrett should= be
absent upon the Wolfe Expedition to Babylonia, or upon
other business not connected with the School, a propor-
tionate deduction should be made. This view was accepted
by the Committee.

It was voted that the Chairman be requested to take steps
to obtain all papers relating to the School left by Profes-
sor Packard, to classify them, and to refer them to such
sub-committees as had been provided for, or make what
other disposition of them should be demanded by the inter-
ects Of the School.

It was voted that, with such data as could be obtained
from Professor Packard’s letters and papers, or elsewhere,
the Secretary compile a report upon his year of Director-
ship, and that this be published in the second Bulletin of
the School.

A letter was read from Professor Van Benschoten, the .MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE. 21

third Director, announcing that he had arrived in
and taken charge of the School.

Athens
He said that in company
with the Minister of the United States, the Hon. Eugene
Schuyler, he had seen the Prime Minister of Greece, Mr. Fre
coupes, who had expressed interest in the School and the wil-
lingness of his Government to present to it a site for a build-
ing. A site upon the eastern slope of Mount Lykabettos
was suggested, near that granted to the British School. The
sentiment of the Committee was opposed to undue haste
in acquiring a site, before a fund for building was assured.

“After further discussion of the proposed site and of the
necessity of immediate action, it was voted that Professor
Van Benschoten be requested to offer to the Prime Minister
of Greece the grateful acknowledgments of the Committee
for his offer of a site for a building for the School; to in-
form him that the Committee had at present no means for
building, but that it hoped at some future time to be enabled
to erect a suitable house ; and to ask whether the delay would
cause his Government to withdraw the offer.

It was voted that Professor Van Benschoten be further re-
quested, in case the offer should not be withdrawn, to send
to the Committee a plan of Mount Lykabettos, with the site
offered marked upon it.

General Palfrey, Chairman of the provisional committee
on endowment, reported that his committee had done noth-
ing toward obtaining funds, and that, in his opinion, the time
was not opportune to make any effort now. The committee
was continued.

The Committee proceeded to discuss the subject of the
rent of its building in Athens. The rent paid for the year
1882-83 was 4,000 drachmas ; for the years 1883-84 and 1884-
85, 4,400 drachmas. Professor Van Benschoten’s letter in-
formed the Committee that the owner of the house, Dr. Mak-.AMERICAN SCHOOLS AT ATHENS.

kas, intended to raise the rent to 5,000 drachmas for the year
1885-86, and that a decision as to the renewal of the lease
must be given him by March 13,1885. Professor Van Ben-
schoten’s opinion was that the rent asked was too high; but
Professor Goodwin doubted whether it would be possible to
do better, or even to find another building so convenient.

It was voted that Professor Van Benschoten be requested
to see whether it was possible to hire a house in Athens for
the School on better terms than those offered by Dr. Makkas,
and that the matter be placed in his hands with authority to
act, the limit of the rent for 1885-86 being fixed at 5,000
drachmas.

It was voted that the amount of the insurance policy
upon the property of the School in Athens be based upon the
value of the property, and be left to Professor Van Benscho-
ten’s discretion.

The Committee proceeded to consider the subject of in-
creasing the attendance of students at the School. The Com-
mittee agreed that the existence of the School was not widely
enough known; and the question was asked whether it would
not be well to advertise .it in some of the chief newspapers
throughout the country. Professor Sloane said that the Col-
lege of New Jersey intended to notice the School in its forth-
coming catalogue, and he advised the Committee to seek to
obtain as wide advertisement as possible by requesting colleges
throughout the country to follow this example of Princeton.

It was voted that the Secretary request the proper officers
of such colleges of the United States as he may select to
insert in their catalogues some notice of the Opportunities
offered by the School, and to bring these opportunities to
the attention of their students.

It was voted that the Secretary send to these colleges, for

SEUDIES AT SarniENS:

1885.

Tue American School of Classical Studies at Athens, pro-
jected by the Archzological Institute of America, and organ-
ized under the immediate auspices of some of the leading
American colleges, was opened on October 2, 1882. It occu-
pies a house on the ‘Odds ’Apwandias, in a convenient and
healthy quarter of Athens. A large room is set apart for the
use of the students, is lighted in the evening, and 1s warmed
in cold weather. In it is kept the library of the School, which
includes a complete set of the Greek classics, and the most
necessary books of reference for philological, archeological,
and architectural study in Greece. The library contains at
the present time about 1500 volumes, exclusive of sets of
periodicals.

The advantages of the School are offered free of expense
for tuition to graduates of colleges co-operating in its support,
and to other American students deemed by the committee of
sufficient promise to warrant the extension to them of the
privilege of membership.

The School is unable to provide its students with board
or lodging, or with any allowance for other expenses. It is
hoped that the Archzeological Institute may in time be sup-
plied with the means of establishing scholarships. In the
meantime, students must rely upon their own resources, or
upon scholarships which may be granted them by the colleges
to which they belong. The amount needed for the expenses
of an eight months’ residence in Athens differs little from26 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

that required in other European capitals, and depends chiefly
on the economy of the individual.

A peculiar feature of the present temporary organization of
the School, which distinguishes it from the older German and
French schools at Athens, is the yearly change of director.
That the director should, through all the future history of the
School, continue to be sent out under an annual appointment
is an arrangement which would be as undesirable as it would
be impossible. But such an arrangement is not contemplated.
When established by a permanent endowment, the School will
be under the control of a permanent director, a scholar who by
continuous residence at Athens will accumulate that body of
local and special knowledge without which the highest func-
tions of suchaschool cannot beattained. In the meantime the
School is enabled by its present organization to meet a want of
great importance. It cannot hope immediately to accomplish
such original work in archeological investigation as will put it
ona level with the German and French schools. These draw
their students from bodies of picked men, specially trained
for the place. The American School seeks at the first
rather to arouse in American colleges a lively interest in
classical archaeology, than to accomplish distinguished achieve-
ments. Ihe lack of this interest heretofore is conspicuous.
Without it, the School at Athens, however well endowed,
cannot accomplish the best results. It is beyond dispute that
the presence in various colleges of professors who have been
resident a year at Athens under favorable circumstances, as
directors or as students of the School, will do much to
increase American appreciation of antiquity.

I. The object of the American School of Classical Studies
is to furnish, without charge for tuition, to graduates of Amer-
ican Colleges and to other qualified students, an opportunity
to study Classical Literature, Art, and Antiquities in Athens,
under suitable guidance; to prosecute and to aid original re-
search in these subjects; and to co-operate with the Archz-
ological Institute of America, so far as it may be able, in
conducting the exploration and excavation of Classic sites.

If. The School is in charge of a Managing Committee,
and under the superintendence of a Director. The Director
of the School and the President of the Archzological Insti-
tute are er officio members of the Managing Committee.
This Committee, which was originally appointed by the
Archeological Institute, has power to add to its member-
ship, to administer the finances of the School, and to make
such regulations for its government as it may deem proper.

Ill. The Managing Committee meets semi-annually, in
New York on the third Friday in November, and in Boston
on the third Friday in May. Special meetings may be called
at any time by the Chairman.

IV. The Chairman of the Committee is the official rep-
resentative of the interests of the School in America. He
presents a Report annually to the Archeological Institute:
concerning the affairs of the School.

V. The Director is chosen by the Committee for a period
of one or two years. The Committee provides him with a28 AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ATHENS.

house in Athens, containing apartments for himself and his
family, and suitable rooms for the meetings of the members
of the School, its collections, and its brary.

VI. The Director superintends personally the work of
each member of the School, advising him in what direction
to turn his studies, and assisting him in their prosecution.
He conducts no regular courses of instruction, but holds
meetings of ‘the members of the School at stated timc-
for consultation and discussion. He makes a full report
annually to the Managing Committee of the work accom-
plished by the School.

VII. The school year extends from the Ist of October to
the 1st of June. Members are required to prosecute their
studies during the whole of this time in Greek lands under
the supervision of the Director. The studies of the remain-
ing four months necessary to complete a full year (the
shortest term for which a certificate is given) may be car-
ried on in Greece or elsewhere, as the student prefers.

VIII. Bachelors of Arts of co-operating Colleges, and
all Bachelors of Arts who have studied at one of these
Colleges as candidates for a higher degree, are admitted
to membership -in the School on presenting: to the Com-
mittee. a certificate from the instructors in Classics of the
College at which they. have last studied, stating that they
are competent to pursue an independent course of study
at Athens under the advice of the Director. All other per-
sons desiring to become members of the School must make
application to the Committee. The Committee reserves the
right to modify these conditions of membership.

IX. Each member of the School must pursue some defi-
nite subject of study or research in Classical Literature, Art,
or Antiquities, and must present at least one thesis, embody-
ing the results of some important part of his year’s work.REGULATIONS. 29
@ijese theses, i approved by the Mirector, are sent.to the
Managing Committee, by which each thesis is referred to a
sub-committee of three members, of whom two are appointed
by the Chairman, and the third is always the Director under
whose supervision the thesis was prepared. If recommended
for publication by this sub-committee, the thesis may be

X. When any member of the School has completed one
or more full years of study, the results of which have been
approved by the Director, he receives a certificate stating
the work accomplished by him, signed by the Director of
the School, the President of the Archzological Institute, and
the other members of the Managing Committee.

XI. American students resident or travelling in Greece
