Prof. John W. White, chairman, and Thomas W. Ludlow, sec'y of the Archaeological Institute of America have sent the following circular to the presidents and faculties of American colleges: "The managing committee of the American school of classical studies at Athens begs to call to your attention the advantages offered by the school to graduates of the colleges cooperating in its support, and to request you to bring these advantages to the notice of your students, some of whom from year to year will, it is hoped, avail themselves of them. The committee asks you, also, to urge upon your trustees the creation of travelling scholarships to facilitate attendance at the school of graduates of moderate means. To all classical students the school affords an opportunity to pursue their studies under competent direction among a people whose literary language is less different from that of Xenophon than his from that of Herodotus; to those interested in epigraphy and history it gives access to the richest existing store of Greek inscriptions and to all the famous sites of Hellas; while to American students of Greek art and archaeology it throws open upon equal terms helds of inquiry until now reserved for the scholars of France and Germany.

The school possesses, in Athens, a good working library containing already the most necessary books of reference in the various departments of classical study; and it provides for its students a large reading room, which is lighted in the evening, and heated in cold weather. No charge is made for tuition.
