When the project of the excavation of the ancient site of Delphi first came before the college an active interest seemed to be taken in the matter both by the undergraduates and instructors. Professor Norton addressed a large and enthusiastic audience in Sever on the subject, and at that time there seemed no doubt, judging from the feeling of the college at large, that Harvard would bear her share in the efforts to unearth the site of the famous temple, the shrine at which the ancient world worshiped. The central interest of the Delphic temple has been so closely connected with the growth and cultivation of the ancient languages, it was expected that from all the colleges of the land contributions and aid would come from the departments devoted to classical study and research. It belonged to Harvard as the foremost college in the country, to take the lead and show herself a worthy exemplar in such a matter. As yet, however, little practical interest has been shown here at Cambridge in the affair. Professor Norton himself, has been indefatigable and has been well seconded by the New York city graduates of the university, but little praise can be said for the sympathy and aid shown by instructor and undergraduate in this work. We wish earnestly to call the attention of the college to this work which has so worthy an object for its end.
