Prof. White and the School at Athens.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor John Williams White expects to sail for Europe in July of this year and to remain there until September, 1893. He will go as Professor of Greek at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and Dr. Frank B. Tarbell, who will accompany him, is the permanent director for five years. Professor White's main duty will be the interpretation of such passages in the writers of ancient Greece as refer to the topography and monuments of Athens, and Dr. Tarbell will have general charge of the school, and will lecture on epigraphy and architecture. The other member of the faculty, Dr. Charles Waldstein, of Kings College, Cambridge, England, will continue his lectures on Greek Sculpture.

The presence of both Professor White and Dr. Tarbell at Athens will make this an unusually favorable time for Harvard men to avail themselves of the privileges of the school, which are offered both to regular students and to visitors. The annual tour of the Poloponnesus occurs in the spring, and this tour will be the subject of a lecture by Professor Richardson of Dartmouth before the Classical Club, next Thursday evening. To this lecture, which will be in Harvard 1 at 7.45, the public are invited.
