In this work of the school at Athens, and too in the foundation of the school Harvard has played the part of an enthusiastic and steady supporter. Her professors have devoted their time to personal attendance at the school, as Professor White will do this year, a service which only the student of the classics can justly appreciate. The visit of both Dr. Tarbell and Professor White to the school at Athens is but another instance or the fidelity with which Harvard still nurtures the study of the classics.
