THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS.

Final steps have been taken for the immediate organization of the school at Athens, to be opened Oct. 2d, 1882, under the superintendence of Prof. Goodwin for the coming year. In a former issue we have given the government and the scope of the school, as well as the extraordinary opportunities which it offers for earnest scholars. The school year will extend from October 1st to June 1st, and studies during this time are to be prosecuted in Greece. There will be no fees whatsoever, but students will be obliged to live at their own expense or upon scholarships from their respective colleges. The probable expense is of course dependent upon the individual, differing from that of life in Europe generally. An extension will be made in favor of American students in Greece, so that they shall receive the benefit of the director's advice as well as the use of the school library. The committee of the school stands as follows: John Williams White (chairman). Harvard University; Henry Drisler, Columbia College; Basil L. Gildersleeve, Johns Hopkins University; E. W. Gurney, Harvard University; Albert Harkness, Brown University; Thomas W. Ludlow (secretary), New York; Lewis R. Packard, Yale College; Francis W. Palfrey, Boston; Frederic J. De Peyster (treasurer), New York; William M. Sloane, College of New Jersey; Charles Eliot Norton, president of the Archaeological Institute; William W. Goodwin, director of the School at Athens.
