NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

About twenty members of the recent International Congress of Americanists will be entertained in Cambridge today by Professor Putnam. This party which represents about ten nationalities have since the recent meeting in New York visited Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, Fort Ancient, Ohio, Cincinnati and Chicago, where the archaeological and ethnological institutions have been inspected.

This morning Americanists will thoroughly examine the Peabody Museum. At noon they will visit Memorial Hall, and later will take lunch at the Union. In the afternoon the visitors will be shown the other features of interest about the College.

The Congress when in session at New York had representatives of twenty nationalities sent by various governments and archaeological institutions. The object of the delegates is the study of the American ethnological conditions of the fifteenth century and also of the pre-Columbian epoch.
