The Classical School at Athens.

The annual meeting of the association which supports this school was recently held at Princeton. The colleges were represented by the following members of the association: Harvard-Profs. Norton, Goodwin, and White; Brown-Prof. Harkness; Columbia-Prof. Drisler, and Princeton by Prof. Sloane. There were also present Messrs. DePeyster and Ludlow, of New York. The first duty before the committee was to pass resolutions on the death of Prof. Packard, who was acting director, prior to the directorship of the present incumbent. After this a report was read from Prof. Van Benscohoten, which was exceedingly favorable and showed the growing success of the school. He stated that the library now contained 2,000 volumes of valuable works relating to classical study. All the leading archaeological journals are received at the school and the advantages of the library are thrown open to the use of the English and American residents. The various departments of the school are engaged in archaeological research, and the present management has insured flourishing results.

Prof. Harkness, of Brown University, has been elected Director for the ensuing year, and his Directorship will be followed by the appointment of Prof. D'Oogee, of the University of Michigan. The interest shown by various American colleges is constantly increasing. Fourteen colleges are now enrolled in membership, showing an increase of two. The committee are anxious to have notice given that the valuable opportunities offered by this classical school are at the disposal of all American students traveling in Europe, but membership in the institution must be procured in the regular way provided by the committee, namely, by application and examination.
