Professor White in Athens.

Professor Morgan has just received a letter from Professor John Williams White, who is this year director of the school at Athens. Professor White states that he has been engaged in a debate with Dr. Dorpfeld on the question of the state of the "Pelasgikon" in the age of Pericles.

The question as to whether there was or was not a stage in the ancient Greek theatres is, he writes, still discussed in Athens. The head of the French school, Homolle, has proposed to attack Dr. Dorpfeld's theory as to the matter, in which case Professor White proposes to re-establish it in an open meeting of the American School. Among the interesting discoveries made in the recent excavations there, is one by Dr. Dorpfeld, who thinks that he has discovered the much discussed sanctuary of Dionysus in the Marshes, southwest of the Acropolis, a place where it has never been looked for before.
