There has recently been instituted at Rome an American School with quarters on the Pincian Hill. The plan was originated at a meeting of archaeologists in Philadelphia last winter, and a committee consisting of Professors W. G. Hall, of the University of Chicago; Winton Warren, of Johns Hopkins University and A. L. Frothinghan, of Princeton, was appointed to consider the feasibility of establishing such a school at Rome. Representatives of nearly fifty institutions are on the committee, of which a strong section is already established in Rome itself. The school will be open from Oct. 15, to June 1, but members are expected to continue work until August. There will be regular courses of lectures but most of the work will consist of informal talks at museums, visits to the monuments and excursions to ancient sites of Etruria and even as far as Sicily.
