The managing committee of the American School at Athens recently held its annual fall meeting at Columbia College. Professor Seymour presided. The meeting was the largest ever held, over twenty-three members being present.

Dr. Waldstein was re-elected Professor of Ancient Art. Professor John Williams White, of Harvard, was elected Professor of Greek language and literature for 1893-4 and Professor G. B. Wheeler of Cornell for the year succeeding. Professor Richards of Dartmouth was elected director for a term of five years.

The school was founded by the Archaeological Institute of America in 1882. Five years later a building was erected in the Southwestern slope of Mount Lycabettus, the ground being given by the Greek government. The school is open, free of tuition, to the graduates of all colleges that support the institution and also to students whom the committee deem worthy of membership. A permanent director has charge of the school and is assisted by a Professor of Art and a Professor of the Greek language and literature, who are sent out every year by one of the supporting colleges.
