Prof. Goodwin gave an extended account of his work at the American School at Athens, in Boston Wednesday evening. He considers that it is destined to be most important in its effects on American scholarship and culture. There is a real demand for the school, he finding in Athens last October eight American scholars full of enthusiasm for study waiting to join the school. He made at great length an interesting statement of the historical advantages and stimulating associations connected with classical study in Greece and set forth the true aims of the school. It is, he said, in the spirit of progress and belief that we cannot afford to be behind other nations in improving our methods and enlarging and elevating our instruction. The Archaeological Institute has founded this school at Athens. We Americans need such a school even more than any other nation, for Germany, France and England are all within a few days' journey of Greece, and within the compass of a month's vacation. He considers that the one great need of the school is a permanent resident director at Athens, and that an endowment of $70,000 or $80,000 is necessary to obtain a man who will fitly represent us there. Professor Packard of Yale has succeeded him as director.
