ISRAEL EDWARD DRABKIN 1905-1965

Israel Edward Drabkin was born in Jersey City, ew Jersey, on February 7, 1905, and died in Hackensack, New Jersey, on March 27, 1%5. He was educated at the City College of what is now the City University of ew York, where he received hjs bachelor's degree summa wm laude in 1924. He went on to graduate work at Columbia University, where he earned his master's degree in 1926 and his doctorate in 1930. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

He began his teaching career in 1923 at Townsend Harris Hall, the preparatory department of the City College, and was one of the mainstays of that remarkable institution until its lamentable closing in 1942. After a period of service as an instructor in mathematics in the Army Specialized Training Program-for mathematics was second only to Latin and Greek as a focus of his interest-he returned to the City College to teach mathematics there, and it was not until 1953 that he rejoined his fellow-classicists on that faculty as associate professor, becoming professor and chairman of the Depart-ment of Classics in 1957, a post which he held until his death.

He was Carnegie Fellow in Greek and Roman Science at the Johns Hopkins University in 1941-43, Visiting Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Chicago in 1945, John Simon Guggenheim Fellow in 1945-46, Fielding H. Garrison Lecturer for the American Association of the History of Medicine in 1951, a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Prince-ton in 1953, and Visiting Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University in 1964.

His numerous publications both in the classics and in the history of science won him an enviable reputation both here and abroad. He collaborated with Professor Morris Raphael Cohen on A Source Book in Greek Science. His edition of Caelius Aurelianus On Acute and Chronic Diseases was pub-lished by the University of Chicago Press. He had the distinction, rare in the present century, of discovering a lost work of antiquity, the Gynaecia of Caelius Aurelianus, which he edited with his wife, Miriam Friedman Drabkin. In collaboration with Stillman Drake, he brought out a volume on Galilee's On Motion and On Mechanics; a second volume by the two scholars is awaiting publication. A member of the editorial committees of Isis and Ceutaurus, he was also a corresponding member of the International Academy of the History of Science.

His devotion to music rounded out the accomplishments of this many-sided man. ot only did he have a scholar's knowledge of chamber music; he himself was a talented violist, and played with orchestras and string quartets.

Israel Edward Drabkin was a gentle, perceptive teacher, popular among his students for his wit, and among the younger members of the City College faculty for his kind helpfulness. He will long be remembered by the many colleagues and fri ends who knew and loved him.

CHARLES ALEXANDER ROBINSON, JR. 1900--1965 Charles Alexander Robinson, Jr. died on February 23, 1965, at the age

of 64. Brown University had benefited from his learning, enthusiasm, and warmth since 1928, and is greatly impoverished by his death. The American School of Classical Studies has known him as a student, a member of this Committee since 1929, and this Committee's secretary since 1949. We mourn his passing and are conscious of a profound loss.

Alec Robinson's attainments were many, both as a vigorous and popular teacher and as a historian of great prominence. His devotion to the School has been notable. He has served twice as Visiting Professor and has had further extended stays at the School. His most recent was a year ago, when he investigated the site that the Brown University Expedition is now excavating in the Athenian Agora, in an area known as the Koletti Gardens. It is appro-priate that Brown University is establishing The Charles Alexander Robinson, Jr. Memorial Lectureship in Classics and Classical Archaeology, and expects to arrange the first lecture this coming autumn.

Alec Robinson's interests extended beyond the world of Alexander into the field of Byzantine culture, and among his notable contributions to the School's welfare is his long and cheerful service on the Gennadeion Committee.

It is not alone the teacher, scholar, historian, and archaeologist that we miss today. It is the warm, vibrant, human spirit that has enriched us, per-sonally, on so many occasions in this room and elsewhere.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1

To the Managing Committee, American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I am pleased to submit to you ll'!Y report on the activities of the School d11ring the twelve months from April, 1964, to March, 1965.

The accession of King Constantine in the early spring of 1964 and his marriage in September of the same year have brought fresh staff and a new spirit to the Palace. The King is clearly making every effort to familiarize himself with all aspects of the life of his Kingdom and is increasing the natural popularity which is his by virtue of his youth, his athletic prowess, his young Queen, and the prospects of an heir to the throne. The Queen Mother, Queen Frederica, is still in mourning and makes no public appearances except on such occasions as the recent earthquakes in the Sporades and in the Pelo-ponnesos; in both areas she has visited the stricken villages and helped in the material and spiritual comforting of the victims. The number of earth-quakes which have struck recently-and the apparent absence of any specific geological co11nection among them (there seems to be no " fault " which links Arcadia and the coast of Thessaly) --causes speculation and some concern, over and above the natural distress at the disastrous nature of the blows of the last few weeks. Several of the major and minor quakes have been felt in Corinth and in Athens, but no damage has occurred in either area. The School property has not suffered. The burden of physical reconstruction after the earthquakes will intensify the economic crisis which the government is facing but which it is publicly disclaiming.

The political situation in the country defies analysis by a non-Greek, but it is eminently unsatisfactory to Greeks of all parties. The Cyprus situation inevitably colors all thought and action on matters internal and external. The manifestations of growing confidence on the part of the extreme left are unsettling. The School grounds (together with those of the British School next door) are still protected by a police guard day and night in recognition of the possibility of demonstrations arising over the Cyprus issue; and a few nights ago, at the time of a large left-wing rally in the Panathenaic stadium on Alexandra Boulevard, our police detachment was increased from one or two to over twenty. I am glad to say, however, that the work of the School has in no way been impeded by politics or politicians.

In the government's Service of Antiquities and Restoration an equally unsatisfactory condition prevails. Since the death of Mr. Papadimitriou two

1 Separate reports on the School Library, the Gennadius Library, the Excavations at Corinth and the Athenian Agora, and the 1964 Summer Session appear below. These important aspects of the School's work are therefore not included in the following account.

years ago, Mr. John Kontis has filled the post of Acting General Director of the Service ; as such he obviously lacks the prestige which appointment as General Director would enable him to bring to bear upon his colleagues. Last summer the government enacted a law which requires the retirement of civil servants after 35 years of service. This has meant that many ephors have retired suddenly: Messrs. Karouzos, Makaronas, Stavropoulos; Mrs. Karou-zou and Mrs. Varoucha; Miss Constantinou. Others will leave in the near future: Messrs. Platon and Pallas. Director of the National Museum is now Mr. Basileios Kallipolitis (though Mr. Karouzos still retains the Director's office); Mrs. Oikonomidou is in full charge of the Numismatic Museum. Changes in the assignment of Ephors have involved the move of Mr. V :r-delis to Attika-Euboea and of Mr. Charitonides to Argolido-Corinthia. M1ss Philippaki has been appointed Ephor at Delphi. It has just been announced in the newspapers that Mr. Chrysanthos Christou, Ephor of Laconia-Arcadia, has received appointment as Professor of Art History at the University of Thessaloniki; thus another Ephory falls vacant. In December, in an unprece-dented action, the Under Minister to the Prime Minister, Mr. George Mylonas, suspended from his duties for six months Mr. E. Stikas, u~til .t~en Director of the Department of Restoration of the Service of AntiqUities. The charges against Mr. Stikas involve laxity in scientific method an~ ad-ministrative procedure. Mr. Stikas has been replaced by a younger architect, Mr. Char. Bouras. All proposals for restoration of ancient monuments are now in abeyance. .

At the moment of writing I am not certain whether we shall receive permits for all the excavations which we have requested for 1965. The ~r.chaeological Council now, in contradiction of its action in 1962 in a. similar situation, maintains that the foreign Schools may not even temporanly sub-stitute one excavation for another of its three, but must complete one excava-tion before introducing a new one. This seems to involve an arbitrary int~rpretation by the Council of the Archaeological Law of 1932 (no. 5351), w~1ch merely states that the foreign Schools are each limited to three excavations per year. As soon as the Council has reached a decision-whether favorable or unfavorable-upon our present request to substitute Porto Cheli for Kea in 1965, I shall attempt to discuss the general and legal aspects of the problem again with Mr. Kontis. .

There have been a few changes in our Greek staff th1s year. The laun-dress in the Main Building, Vasiliki Kalouzoumi, retired after 19 years of ervice. he wa a hard-working and cheerful member of the staff whom it

has been difficult to replace. In fact, we cannot now find anyone who will both wash and iron and we have had to take on two part-time employees to do Kalouzoumi's job. Kitsa Folirou (daughter of Mitso) has been compelled to leave her post with the Gennadeion because of prolonged illness. On: ~r two of the new maids have left, to be replaced by others, generally older; It IS becoming more and more difficult to find household servants in the face of the attractions of factory and business jobs with regular hours. All of us are

21

deeply indebted to our Greek staff for their devotion to the School and for their manifold competencies. There is hardly one who is not called on fre-quently to perform tasks other than those for which he was hired; these extra burdens they assume willingly and carry out efficiently.

The major change in the American staff has been the appointment of William Biers as Secretary. He assumed his duties with the beginning of the Summer Session of 1964. He has already shown himself to have consider-able initiative and vision and he has introduced certain changes in administra-tive procedures which make our work much easier. I am glad that he has consented to remain as Secretary for next year also. Professor Broneer has been in America since early December; he is expected back on May 13th. The Director, with his family, went to America for two months during the summer; we all wish to extend our thanks to the Managing Committee for making this extended " home leave " possible. During my absence Professor Vanderpool administered the School most efficiently, as he will do in large measure also this spring and summer, when I shall be for long periods in Corinth. I am much in debt to Eugene Vanderpool for his help in innumer-able ways; I think it is safe to say that he is the most valued single member of our staff. We were glad to welcome Professor Walton back to the Genna-deion in June after his year's leave of absence. His success in organizing the Friends of the Gennadeion has been most gratifying. Under his direction the Gennadeion continues to grow in size and in services to its readers.

o remodelling was undertaken during the past summer but we installed two ventilating fans in the Loring Hall wing. They did much to ameliorate the summer living conditions. This spring we shall install two similar fans in the upper floor of the main building of Loring Hall; another will be put into the Genna de ion West House. Two of the Loring Hall fans were made available to us through the generosity of the Alumni; the Trustees authorized us to acquire the others from unexpended income. A welcome addition to the library in the main building will be the installation of air conditioning units in the stacks of the new wing; funds for this purpose were obtained from the surplus of the Davis gift for the Library. A special gift from the President of our Board of Trustees will enable us to repaint the fac;ade of the Gennadeion next month.

SPRING AND SUMMER, 1964

During the spring and summer we were pleased to have with us, for longer or shorter periods, many visiting scholars to whom we provided such assistance as was possible; some were housed at the School, most used the School library or excavation facilities; all contributed much to our scholarly community by their enlivening presence. Among these I should name: Pro-fessors Anna Benjamin, Sterling Dow, Gerald Else, John Finley, Walter Graham, Richard Howland, Benjamin Meritt, C. A. Robinson, Matthew Wieneke, Miss Gisela Richter, Miss Marie Farnsworth. Other welcome visitors included four members of our Board of Trustees, Messrs. Canaday, Crawford, Morgan and Simpson.

22

As in 1963 our own Summer Session (ably directed by Prof. Alan Boegehold) was supplemented by a Summer Seminar for United States l~igh school and junior college teachers of history; this was organized by the ~mted States Educational Foundation in Greece. Again Prof. Harry Carroll dtrected the seminar; and again the School provided classroom space and some library facilities. Although the members of the local Fulbright Board (includ-ing the undersigned) judged the seminar a success in most respects and suggested ways of improving it in subsequent years, the State Department has decided not to continue the experiment in 1965.

During the spring many of our students took part in excavations. William Biers, Daniel Geagan, Michael Katzev and John Stambaugh assisted Charles Williams in his work at Nemea; Cora Angier, Wanda Holtzinger, Miranda Marvin and Gloria Merker all helped us in the recording and inventorying of the Corinth excavations; Gregory Dickerson, the Secretary, was able to devote much of the month of June to supervising excavation at Corinth. 1 ancy Bookidis and Mary Coutroubaki worked with Professor Mylonas at Mycenae during the summer. John Coleman and Elizabeth Milburn were at Ke~ with Professor Caskey. Carol Ward was invited to amothrace to take part 111 the excavations there under Professor McCredie. John Pedley went to Pylos to assist Professor Blegen. Frederick van Doorninck in the summer rejoined Mr. Bass' underwater archaeological expedition operating out of Bodrum. The following School Papers were submitted:

Diskin Clay John Pedley James Rooney

"The Daggers at Agamemnon 714-715" "An Attic Grave Stele in the Fogg Museum" "Seven against Thebes: Drama of Resolution"

FALL AND WINTER, 1%4-1965

The list of student and senior members appears elsewhere in the Annual Report and need not be repeated here. The School is indeed fortunate that the income from the Fellowship endowment made it possible this year to award six fellowships: the Seymour, White, Capps, Wheeler, Stevens and Genna-deion. In addition, we have nine members or associate members holding fel-lowships from their universities or colleges; five have received Fulbright scholarships. Thirteen of our seventeen first-year members hold grants from one source or another. The work of the School Fellows has been in general excellent. Charles Williams, the Stevens Fellow, is making good progress with his dissertation on the so-called gymnasium at Nemea, for which his investiga-tion of last spring at Nemea was a prerequisite. Nancy Bookidis, the Capps. Fellow, excavated last fall with Professor Mellink at Elmali in Turkey; during· the winter she has prepared for her general examinations (Bryn Mawr) and continued research for her dissertation on archaic architectural sculpture. Jon Broneer has been workjng steadily throughout the fall and winter on his study of Ali Pasha; he will soon commence an extended tour of Ali's domain in Epiros, attempting to visit as many of Ali's castles and other known monu-

23

ments as military restrictions do not close to him. The incumbents of the Seymour, White and Wheeler Fellowships have been fully occupied during the fall and winter with field trips and seminars; this spring Frances Doughty (Wheeler) will a~ist with inventories at Corinth; Father O'Neill (Seymour) will continue his dissertation study of the structural use and treatment of mythology in the odes of Pindar; Joseph Carter (White) will begin an inten-sive study of the sculptures of the temple of Asklepios at Epidauros. Many of the members will engage in excavation during the spring or summer : the Misses Bookidis, Chitty, Gummey and Swift and Messrs. Biers, Drew-Bear, Searles and Williams at Corinth; the Misses Brodkey, Handler, Pollak, Sam-mis and Sherman at Gordion with Professor Young; Mrs. N orre at Samo-thrace; Mrs. Broughton at Porto Cheli; John Kroll at Sardis. Some will be pursuing independent research during the spring and summer : Donald Preziosi (planning and construction of the earliest palace at Phaistos), Anas-tasia orre (the history of the Parthenon), John Kroll (Athenian dikasts' pinakia), Susan Handler (architectural representations on the coins of Alex-andria), Susan Broughton (narrative transitions in the Histories of Hero-dotus), Phyllis Pollak (archaeological remains of the Gauls in Greece), Anne Brooke (the pastoral poetry of Theocritus), Patricia Getz Preziosi ( Cycladic idols). Augustus Sordinas has been engaged throughout the year in researches in Epiros, where he is making a study of "Western Greek Neolithic." The student body this year has been a very satisfactory group, of a generally high level of competence. In all fairness to those members of the Managing Com-mittee who do not agree with my views on standards of admission to the School, I must point out that two members of this year's group who have proven somewhat less than satisfactory because of emotional immaturity are both second-year graduate students; our Admissions Committee could have had no way of anticipating or controlling this factor.

Our fall trips returned to the normal routine this year: Central Greece, Peloponnesos, Northwestern Greece, Corinth-Argolid. The Director, for personal reasons, was compelled to impose an unduly heavy burden on Pro-fessor Vanderpool, who directed the first three of the trips.

The winter term lasted from ovember 30 to March 12. The Annual Professor, Mr. Agard, divided his seminar into two parts: The Oedipus Tyranmts and Relations between Athens and Delphi. The Visiting Professor, Mr. Mitchel, offered a seminar on Lycurgan Athens. Both courses were well-attended and proved to be of great value to the students. Professor Blegen again lectured to the students in January and February in the prehistoric galleries of the ational Museum. Professor Vanderpool and the Director . hared the Topography and Monuments course and the Friday trips to sites in Attica. The Director's participation in the winter term was in some measure limited by his trip in December and early January to the United States to attend the meeting of the Managing Committee at Seattle. He had previously, at the end of his "home leave" in late August, attended the International Congress of Classical Studies in Philadelphia.

24

Senior Members

Professor Dinsmoor continues in good health and has been assisted again this year by his son, William Jr.; he has made further progress with the volume on the Propylaea and has resumed his study of the West Shops at Corinth. Professor Agnes Vaughan has been with us most of the year; she is working on a book about Zenobia and will shortly leave for a trip to the Near East with special reference to Palmyra. Professor Stillwell was here for the fi rst term, completing his study of Hellenistic domestic architecture in connec-tion with the private houses of the Morgantina excavation. Professor Alan Boegehold is engaged in historical and epigraphical researches, Mrs. Vermeule in a study of the esthetics of late Minoan and Mycenaean art, Mr. Vermeule in the preparation of the second volume of the sculptures from Salamis (at the invitation of the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus). Professor Blegen has brought to completion the first volume on the palace of Nestor. During the fall Professor Derek Price of Yale (History of Science) was in Athens for a brief period to continue his study of the hydraulic system and mechanism of the water clock in the Tower of the Winds. This spring Professor Rodney Young spent a week with us, en route to Gordion. Professor Ross Holloway is now in Athens and will begin in a few days his excavation (for the Greek Service of Antiquities) in the garden of the Koletti House, which lies just east of the Panathenaic Way and south of the Stoa of Attalos. Professor Walter Graham has just returned to continue his studies of the private houses of the Agora excavations. The presence of these many scholars is always a delight and a welcome stimulus to all of us at the School.

Pl'BLIC LECTURES

On June 2, 1964, Professor John H. Finley, at the invitation of the Royal National Foundation, came to Athens to give a public lecture for the "Athens Meeting." This was one of a series of six lectures by noted scholars repre-senting as many different countries and as many varied fields; the lectures were delivered on the Pnyx Hill. The American School was in no way in-volved in the " Athens Meeting," but we were delighted that an American classical scholar and a member of our Managing Committee had been selected to participate in the first such series of lectures in Athens. On January 11, 1965 Professor Stillwell lectured in the School Library on " Domestic Archi-tectu~e of the Hellenistic Period." On March 30, at an Open Meeting attended by His Majesty, King Constantine, the Director spoke on " American Exca-vations, 1964," and Mr. Charles Williams lectured on "The Temple of Zeus at Nemea." To Professor Stillwell and Mr. Williams we are grateful for their contribution in maintaining the School's prestige among its sister institutions of Athens. The Saturday tours for the American Women's Organization of Greece have continued each spring; many members of the School staff have generously helped in this program, lecturing to groups often as large as 75, on sites such as the Acropolis, Roman Athens, the Agora, the Kerameikos,

25

Eleusis, Corinth, Nemea and Mycenae, etc. Our staff is frequently called upon for special tours and lectures to visiting groups of scholars or dignitaries; these demands are always met cheerfully and willingly.

EXCAVATIONS

Separate reports appear below for the excavations at the Agora and in Corinth (plus Nemea). Under the auspices of the School excavations were continued in 1964 at Kenchreai (Universities of Chicago and Indiana), Kea (University of Cincinnati), Samothrace (Institute of Fine Arts of New York University) . Professor Blegen continued his investigations at Pylos (a joint Hellenic-American undertaking) and Professor Mylonas, now in complete charge of all work at Mycenae, spent the summer months excavating (under the auspices of the Greek Archaeological Society) at that site. Colleagues of Professor McDonald from the University of Minnesota and other institu-tions were again engaged in topographical and geographical researches in Messenia during the summer of 1964. Of all these researches and excavations reports will appear in H esperia and in the American Journal of ArchaeologJ'·

CONCLUSIONS

Such recommendations as I have to make this year are already contained in the budget request which has been submitted to the Chairman of the Managing Committee and in my reply to the report of Mr. Howland's ad hoc committee on the Size and Scope of the School. I need not repeat them here. In closing, however, I want to say how very satisfying has been my collabora-tion over the past five years with Professor Bellinger. His sage counsel ha been most fruitful for the School; his encouragement-and, where needed, his kindly criticism-have guided me through many difficulties of administration . I have valued his advice no less than I have admired his epistolary style. I thank him sincerely for all he has done for the School and for me.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF THE SCHOOL

To the- Director,

American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I have the honor to submit the following report on the School Library for the year of April, 1964 to April, 1965.

By now the Library has grown to nearly 25,000 volumes. Our acqui.si-tions this year have totalled 1,265 books and pamphlets, catalogued and with subject headings. 360 more of the backlog of pamphlets have been removed from the drawers where they have been stored for years, and fully catalogued. Almost 1 800 of the older books have also been re-done. Much of the year, indeed, h~s been spent in mechanical activity of this sort, in the hope of finish-ing the job of re-cataloguing. It may be noted here that the original catalogue on the old, small size of card has been kept up with the addition of tem~orary cards for the new acquisitions, so that the work of the users of the Library could continue without interruption. The extra work and time spent in making the double sets of cards (large and small) have been more than justified, according to the experience of those people who have had to use two cata-logues simultaneously.

This year the tables in the Library have been very full. Besides the home population of twenty-four (unusually hardworking and eve~-present~, about fifteen members of the University and the Greek Archaeological Service have come regularly to read, also a Dutch teacher, an Egyptian graduate student, members of foreign archaeological schools, travelling scholars and permanent members of the community in Greece. We have again this year lent books to the " College Year in Athens " (a form of the Junior Year in Greece) and to the second Fulbright Summer Seminar held in our School building, altho~gh not in the Library, and directed by Professor Harry Carroll under the auspices of the United States Educational Foundation in Greece. The staff of the periodical Greek Heritage has worked here regularly and many of the ill~strations used have been reproduced from our books. We bave made I~terlibrary loans to others of the foreign schools of archaeology, to the ~oxi~des Institute and to the Center for Social Studies. The School publications, Corinth, XIII, The North Cemetery; Athenian Agora, X, Weights,. Measures and Tokens, and the Picture Book, No. 9, Lamps from the Atheman Agora, have duly been distributed to the usual institutions and libraries and museums of Athens. We have made book-for-book exchanges with Belgrade, Sofia, Prague and Cyprus.

It is good news that airconditioning is to be put into the Library stacks

27

this summer. We have not wanted to expand into the upper floor until some provision had been made against the great heat of July and August under the flat roof of the Library wing. With the acquisition of over a thousand books in each of the last two years, the shelves of the main Reading Room and of the lower Stack have again been beginning to overflow, and as the tables and carrels in the upper Stack have been more in use than ever this year, it would have gone hard with the readers to have had to forego this work space during the summer because of the heat. The new installation, with its consequent regulation of the temperature and the elimination of the usual clouds of dust from open windows, should prove of great benefit to the books and to their users.

During 1%4-1965 we received gifts from 101 people and institutions. Among these may be mentioned Braidwood's Excavations in the Plain of Antioch, I: The Earlier Assemblages (Phases A-f), given by Professor Saul S. Weinberg; two volumes of Prentice Duell's plates of the mastaba of Mereruka and three volumes of the Columbia papyri, given by Professor William B. Dinsmoor. Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius C. Vermeule III have given us several books, including publications of the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston and copies of their own books, E1tropean Art and the Classical Past and Greece in the Bronze- Age. Authors have been generous with their works, both offprints and books. Our warmest thanks go to them. The offprints are often quite as useful as the books, especially when taken from publica-tions to which the School has not access. We also wish to thank Harvard University, which has donated $500, Miss Harriet T . Parsons and Mrs. H. P. Dallas, who each have given $50, and Mr. Max Kahn and Mr. R. Lebovich, for gifts of $25.

The Special Funds have helped to fill out gaps in the periodicals. Glotta now is nearly complete; we have all the numbers of Radiocarbon and a long run of the Russian periodical Kratkie Soobshcheniia. Among books otherwise too expensive for us we have acquired the two-volume Atlas ton Deman kai Koinotifton tes H ellados published by the Statistical Service of Greece, De-margne's Aegean Gre-ece, Dalton's Treasure of the Oxus, Ghirshrnan's Persia, from the origins to A lexander the Great, the large-print version of the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Beckby's Anthologia graeca, volumes 9 and 10 of Goodenough's Jewish Symbols in the Gre-co-R01nan Period, the latest edition of Lesky's Geschichte der griechischen Literat1,r, the reprint of the Marx edition of Lucilius, the third volume of the Excavations at Gozlu Kule: The Iron Age-, the second volume of Dunand's Fouilles de Byblos, A. M. H. Jones's The Later Roman E1npire, 284-602, Catling's Cypriote Bronzework in the Mycenaean World, and Perrotta's Sofocle.

It has not been possible to find a full-time assistant, but the Library has had several part-time helpers: for the longest time Miss ancy Weston, a most accurate typist; the Misses Maria Athanasiade, Marina Kytroka, and

28

Theodora Sakkopoulou; and latterly Mrs. Kay Sarantopoulou, a trained librarian, with whose help we expect to make large strides in the catalogue this spring.

As always, I should like to end with a note of thanks to the Director for his constant interest in the Library, and for his many suggestions.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF THE GENNADEION

To the Direct01·,

American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I have the honor to submit a report on the Gennadius Library for the period April 1964 to March 1965.

The year under review has been a busy one, productive of considerable immediate benefit to the Library, and auguring even better for the future. Shortly before I returned in June a contract was signed with G. K. Hall and Co. to publish the catalogue of our collection, and on the eve of my departure the first announcements of the Friends of the Gennadius Library were sent out.

The appeal on behalf of the Library has met a generous response. Al-ready 260 Friends are enrolled and contributions total $26,400. Dramatic as these figures are, there is no reason to assume that we have reached a limit. The initial mailings were necessarily somewhat indiscriminate, and pending the publication of the new School directory, not even all ASCS alumni have yet been canvassed. We hope for continued growth and even broader support.

All gifts of $500 and more (Life Members and Patrons) are being funded, and only the income will be spent. This new endowment now amounts to $21,385. Our only previous endowment was the $10,000 Joannes Gennadius Fund for Byzantine Studies. This is, therefore, a welcome and encouraging mcrease.

The purpose of the Friends of the Gennadius Library is not, however, to replace, but to supplement our regular budget. In particular, this new source of income is to be used to purchase the rare and expensive items that have normally been beyond our means. Already a number of choice items have been acquired, including ten titles that were once represented in the Gennadius collection, but were lost in the disastrous sale of 1895 and never replaced. So far as possible we intend to reconstitute, with the help of the Friends, that lost portion of the original library.

Copies of my article on Mr. Gennadius as a bibliophile, which appeared in the Autumn 1964 issue of the Book Collector, have been sent to all members of the new organization, and the first newsletter, which will include a list of the Charter Members, is now in press.

The publication of the Gennadeion catalogue will fulfil an obligation undertaken by the School in 1922 and recorded in the deed of gift. Not only will our collective conscience thus be eased, but virtue, in this case at least, will not be merely its own reward. All expenses of publication will be borne by the publisher, and we may even expect some modest royalties. More im-

30

portant, the work will be a valuable bibliographical record, and will make this remarkable collection better known to the scholarly world, and more accessible.

Publication will be by photographic reproduction of the actual catalogue cards, printed 21 to a page, as shown in the flyer already issued by G. K. Hall and Co. The photography will not be done until sometime in 1966, and mean-while we are hard at work improving the present catalogue, to the benefit both of our readers and of the eventual publication. Much of my own time is being devoted to this, and thanks to an advance against future royalties by the Trustees two part-time assistants are also employed in the work. These are Miss Loukia Frangouli, our forn1er secretary, and Mrs. Patricia Preziosi, wife of a current Fellow of the School and herself a former Fellow. Their help is proving invaluable.

Many of the original cards in the catalogue, dating from 1926, were evidently prepared hastily and without adequate examination of the books. The task of re-doing these is often fascinating, and occasionally brings to light unexpected and unrecognized treasures. Only too often it is also frustrating, for lack of such basic bibliographic tools as the Library of Congress and British Museum catalogues. Happily, our colleagues at these and other institutions have been most courteous in answering appeals for help on our bibliographical puzzles.

The recently published Third Census of Incunabula in American Libraries records for the first time the 58 incunabula in the Gennadius Library. Short as our list is, it high-lights the distinction of our collection. Four of the titles stand alone, and 21 others are to be found in as few as one to four other American libraries. Granted the size of our library, it is an enviable record, but it is one which we could probably match in a number of other areas as well.

Accessions of books and offprints for the past year (April 1964-March 1965) total 665, as contrasted with 744 for the comparable period 1963-1964. Of those only 465 are in fact new acquisitions, the other 200 being hitherto unaccessioned pamphlets from the Kyriazis bequest of 1953. It may seem odd that in a year when our book budget is more generous than ever before our accessions have fallen to the 1958 level. Actually, the figures are some-what illusory. Gifts (an uncontrollable factor) are indeed down, from 261 last year to 129. On the other hand, for reasons to be discussed later, the number of new acquisitions still waiting to be accessioned is unusually high, one hundred or more. Also, since the fiscal year has still three months to run, the full effect of the increased book budget has not yet been felt. But the important fact is that with more ample funds we have felt free to purchase expensive items that in the past we would have had to do without. A good case in point is the two-volume Annali dei Giunti, a major bibliographical work, published in 1962-63, but because of its cost, $90, acquired only in 1965. It should be noted that income from the Friends of the Library is only now beginning to be spent, and thus hardly affects the totals here reported. To date

31

17 books have been purchased at an average cost of $35. Eight of these are 16th century and most of the others are of the 17th or 18th centuries.

The lag in accessioning new acquisitions is no indication of lethargy, least of all on the part of Miss Demetracopoulou in whose province the cataloguing falls. On the contrary it is symptomatic of the constantly increas-ing activity of the Library. Inevitably the work on the old catalogue cards has involved Miss Demetracopoulou, as problems arise requiring her expert advice. Increasingly, too, her time is taken up with requests for information and bibliographical assistance: from our regular readers, from institutions in Greece and abroad, and from individuals all over the world. The Library takes pride in being helpful, and one recent visitor, himself a librarian, praised it as being, of all the libraries he visited in Europe, "by far the most accessible, informal, and functional." The fact is that a full-time reference librarian is needed, and sooner or later provision for such a position must be made.

Mrs. Evro Layton left the Library on June 15th, and has returned to her regular post at Widener Library. Her visit to Greece was most oppor-tunely timed and we are grateful to her for her many services. To our deep regret Loukia Frangouli, our secretary since 1959, resigned June 30, 1964, but as noted above has returned on a part-time basis to assist with the catalogue. Her place as secretary has been taken by Soula Adrakta. Last summer Litsa Kavroumatzi, Mitso's daughter, suffered an injury and after prolonged sick-leave has finally had to leave our employment entirely. Elias Tripodes has replaced her as library attendant. Finally, in this year of many changes, I should record our thanks to Maria Anagnostopoulou, who in November completed her long and delicate task of dissecting the bound volumes of Schliemann correspondence. The letters, numbered in the original sequence, are now stored in specially made filing boxes.

The Gennadeion Fellow for the current year is Jon W. Broneer, who is working on a biography of Ali Pasha of Yannina, one of the most colorful figures in modern Greek history. As usual, there are a number of visiting scholars making extensive use of the Library, among them (with their sub-jects of research) the following: Prof. Nikolay Todorov of Sofia (Greco-Bulgarian relations in the 19th century) ; Rev. Colin Davey, Bristol, England (life and writings of Metrophanes Kritopoulos, 1589-1639); Dr. Thomas Kranidas, University of California at Riverside (Leonard Philanis, the 17th-century Athenian scholar and correspondent of Milton); Rev. Nomikos M. Vaporis, New York (The Oecumenical Patriarchate, and English travel accounts of the Orthodox Church); and Prof. Sture Linner of Uppsala, the U. N. representative in Greece. Mr. Linner is editing an unpublished journal of the British Philhellene, W . H . Humphreys, the MS of which we acquired two years ago.

The journals of another Philhetlene, the American George Jarvis who died in Greece in 1828, have been edited by Prof. George Arnakis of the University of Texas, in collaboration with Miss Demetracopoulou. The vol-ume, printed in Thessalonica, is to appear in April. The journals are the

32

property of the British School at Athens, in the George Finlay collection. I also have been engaged with journals, and am preparing an edition of Schlie-mann's travel diaries of his second and third visits to America, 1865 and 1867-68. These diaries are from the Schliemann archives in the Gennadius Library. In October I spent several weeks in Italy, in search of manuscript materials on Janus Lascaris, the Renaissance humanist, in preparation for a monograph on his varied career.

I am happy to report a gift of $100 from the Henry Gardiner Foundation for the purchase of books.

REPORT OF THE PROFESSORS OF ARCHAEOLOGY

To the DirectOr,

American School of Classical S tudies at Athens:

I have the honor to present the following report on my activities during the past year: .

The months of May, June and July, 1%4 were spent in a thirteenth cam-paign of excavation, study, and writing in and about the Palace of Nestor at Epano Englianos in Western Messenia. This project, the American part of a joint Helleno-American undertaking begun in 1939, was conducted under the aegis and at the expense of the University of Cincinnati.

Twenty or more exploratory soundings, supervised by John Pedley, Charles Eliot Norton Fellow of the American School, yielded considerable pottery, casting some light on the earlier occupation of the hill before the palace was built. Our major efforts, however, were concentrated on com-pleting the text and preparing the illustrative material for Volume I of the detailed publication of the palace. This work was continued by me in Athens and by Miss Marion Rawson in Cincinnati until the end of December, when all the matter for the book was delivered to the press. A brief report on the season's work will appear in the April issue of A.J.A .

In January and February I gave six informal talks in the Preclassical Collection of the National Museum to the students of the School.

For many courtesies and much kind help I am deeply indebted to the Director, Dr. H. S. Robinson, and to Professor Eugene Vanderpool, as well as to the other officers and members of the staff of the School.

To the Director,

Respectfully submitted,

CARL w. BLEGEN Professor of Archaeolog'y

American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I have the honor of submitting to you the following report for the year 1%4-1965.

After my return to Greece from the United States in June, 1%4, I spent the next six months working on the material from the Isthmia excavations. With the expert help of the architect William B. Dinsmoor, Jr. I made con-

34

siderable progress on the definitive study of the site. We discovered . new evidence enabling us to complete the plan of the Early Temple of Pose1don, from the seventh century B.C.

I have lectured at Isthmia on several occasions: to the members of the Summer School and to the regular students of the American School of Clas-sical Studies, to the Summer School conducted by the Fulbright Committee, and to the Olympic Academy. In November I participated in the Symposium of the Greek Heritage, held in the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens.

On December 12 I left Greece, returning to the United States. At the Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America in Seattle I spoke on the Later Stadium at Isthmia. For the first three months of 1965 I served as Visiting Professor in the Department of Classics at Stanford Univer~ity. During that time and after the expiration of my appointment I gave e1ght public lectures: in Palo Alto and _San Francisco, ~alifornia; at Eugene, Oregon; Seattle and Spokane, Washmgton; and Austin: Texas. .

I have contributed an article on the Temple of Pose1don at Isthm1a to the Xaptu~pwv 'Op.\&vBov, and a review of Joseph Alsop's book, From the Silent Earth to the American Journal of Archaeology.

OscAR BRoNEER

Professor of Archaeology

American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I have the honor to submit the following account of my activities during the past year.

During most of April and May I was absent from Greece. The first two weeks I spent visiting ancient sites and museums in Southern Italy and Sicily. The rest of the time I was in the United States on a private visit. While there I delivered to the New Haven Society of the Archaeological Institute of America the lecture on " Themistokles' Sanctuary of Artemis Aristoboule " which I had given at an open meeting of the School in Athens a short time before.

During the summer, while the Director was in the United States on leave, I spent most of my time at the School. When the Director_ of t~e Summer Session was suddenly taken ill I took over the Peloponnesmn tnp fo r about a week.

During the fall and winter I worked with the students, conducting trips and lecturing at various sites and museums.

35

I have written an article on " The Location of the Attic Deme Erchia " which is to appear in the Bull~tin de correspondance hellenique in 1965 and I am now working on a short "News Letter" for the American Journal of Archaeology.

REPORT OF THE FIELD DIRECTOR OF THE AGORA EXCAVATIONS

To the Director,

American School of Classical Studies at Athens:

I have the honor to submit the following report on activities m the Athenian Agora during the past year.

STAFF

Eugene Vanderpool has continued to act as Deputy Field Director, especi-ally for the half year when the undersigned is in the United States. John Travlos, as Architect of the School's Excavations, continues to give about one-half of his time to the needs of the Agora. Virginia Grace, with the help of two Greek assistants, continues her research on amphoras. Mrs. Andreas Demoulini, as Secretary of the Agora Excavations, makes the facilities and records of the expedition readily available both to those who come to the Stoa of Attalos and to those who write for information.

In the summer of 1964 the duties of Staff Photographer were taken over by James M. Heyle of Kansas City, a graduate of the University of Michigan and of the New York School of Photography. This new appointment has permitted Alison Frantz to resume her scholarly career after an interval of a quarter of a century during which she devoted most of her time to the photographic needs of her immediate colleagues and of scholars elsewhere. That her competence in this field has won wide recognition is attested by the number of volumes illustrated with her photographs.

Among those who were able to work on their publications in Athens in the spring and summer of 1964 were Benjamin D. Meritt (inscriptions) , Dorothy B. Thompson ( terracottas) , Sterling Dow (lawcourts), Margaret Crosby (coins), Sara Immerwahr (Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery) , J. Walter Graham (houses), Peter Corbett (red figure), Brian Sparkes (classi-sical black glaze), John Hayes (pottery of the Roman period), Marie Farns-worth (ceramic techniques) Anna Benjamin (small finds). Me srs. Graham and Corbett were greatly assisted by the devoted labor of their respective wives. Miss Holly ash of Radcliffe College served as research assistant to Professor Corbett, while Mr. Thomas Czarnowski, a recent graduate of the School of Architecture in Princeton University, prepared plans of the private houses for Professor Graham's study. Miss Nina Travlou, who has inherited a talent for draughtsmanship, also served as an assistant in her father's office.

This year, as in the past, we received much help from volunteer workers. Miss Helen Besi, a former member of the American School, has recorded the present state of the landscaping on a general plan of the excavations. Argyris

37

Petronotis, a Greek student of architecture now studying in Munich, has produced an excellent series of drawings of the fifth-century columns brought from Thorikos for re-use in the Southeast Temple of the Agora. Mrs. Mary Nicholas, Miss Rosemary Lonergan, Miss Sylvia Ericson assisted at various times in the records department.

STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS

Within the period under review volume XI in the Agora monograph series has been in press : Evelyn B. Harrison, Archaic and Archaistic Sculp-ture. Miss Harrison is also well along in the preparation of the next instal-ment of sculpture, the fifth and fourth centuries. Among other MSS in this series now nearing completion may be noted Lucy Talcott and Brian Sparkes, Black and Plain Wares of the Classical Period, and Sara Immerwahr, N eo-lithic and Bronze-Age Pottery. Studies of the lawcourts and dikastic equip-ment, and of the early buildings on the east and south sides of the Agora are also far advanced. Two more Agora picture books may be expected before long: Sara Immerwahr, Early Tombs beneath the Agora and Benjamin D. Meritt, Greek Inscriptions.

FIELD WORK

In the summer of 1964 the exploration of the Church of St. Dionysios and the Archbishop's Palace on the Areopagus was completed; conservation was carried out on the buildings and the area was graded. The definitive report on this undertaking, by Alison Frantz and John Travlos, will appear shortly in Hesperia (XXXIV, No.3, 1965).

Walter Graham in his study of the Greek and Roman houses in the area of the Agora concentrated in the summer of 1964 on the residential district between the Areopagus and the Pnyx that was opened up by the German Archaeological Institute under Dr. Wilhelm Dorpfeld in the 1890's. The German scholars produced thorough studies of the shrines and hydraulic installations but not of the houses. Since this district is continuous with that to the west of the Areopagus explored by the American School, it has seemed well to include those houses in the comprehensive study of domestic architecture now in preparation, the more so since several of the houses un-covered by the German scholars are, by Athenian standards, well preserved. The German Institute has generously waived its rights in the area and has, moreover, made available the original field notebooks and the photographs taken at the time of the first excavation.

The systematic study of the buildings of the South Square of the Agora that has been in progress over the past several years has led to a new interpre-tation of the history and purpose of that group of buildings. There is reason to believe that from early times the south side of the square was bordered by a large temenos, the sanctuary of Theseus, in which was erected an enclosure ( sekos) to protect the bones of the hero brought back from Skyros by Kim on ca. 475 B.c. In the second century B.c. the sekos was remodelled in the form

38

of a palaestra, and the rest of the temenos was enclosed by a series of new . buildings: Middle Stoa, East Building and South Stoa II. Tl:e whole com-

plex has the essential characteristics of the Hellenistic GymnasiUm so that it can scarcely be other than the Gymnasium of Ptolemy recorded by Pausanias

as " not far from the Agora."

AGORA PARK AND MUSEUM

The responsibility for the maintenance and guarding of both. the exca-vated area and the public parts of the Stoa of Attalos has for some time rested with the Greek Archaeological Service. The staff comprises twenty-one day guards, two night guards, one man in charge of the sale of publications and

replicas, two janitors, and four gardeners. . . . . . As the study of various areas is completed, addttJonal plantmg ts r~qmred,

and the School commonly contributes to the extra cost. In the wmter of 1964/65, for instance, 332 new shrub and trees were set out. Some ?f the shrubs, such as thyme and heather, are still collected on the mountams of Attica, but an increasingly large proportion of the stock is drawn from nur-

series maintained within the Agora park. Among the first advocates and most effective supporters of the land-

scaping of the Agora was the late Gorham Phillips Stevens. An ~live tr_ee has been planted in his honor near the north entrance to t~e Agora (hts favon~e approach). A marble plaque, suitably inscribed and patd for by some of his old Greek associates in the landscaping program, has been placed at the foot

of the tree. The number of visitors to the Agora continues to rise. The figure for

1963 was 199,060, for 1964 242,544. The increase will be due in part to the more convenient access provided by the new path leading down from the Acropolis, in part to the increasingly attractive appearance of the area as the

planting matures. HoMER A. THOMPSON

REPORT OF THE FIELD DIRECTOR OF THE CORINTH EXCAVATIONS

To the Managing Com,mittee,

American School of Classical St1tdies at Athens:

During the spring of 1964 the major archaeological project of the School was that at Nemea, under the direction of Charles K. Williams Assistant Field Director of Corinth. Permission for the renewed investigatio~ of Nemea ':as granted by the Greek Service of Antiquities in order to facilitate publica-tion of t~e site; this was i~ addition to the three permits for excavation regu-larly ass1gned now to Connth, Kea and Samothrace. Williams was assisted in his work by four students of the School-William Biers Daniel Geagan Michael Katzev and John Stambaugh. Evangelos Lekkas ~oved to Neme~ to s:rve as foreman; several Corinthian workmen also accompanied the staff. Dunng the several weeks of work the so-called Gymnasium was fully exposed. It appears to be a xenon or hostel lying outside (south of) the sanctuary proper and to ~ave b~en built in the late 4th century B.C.; its construction put out of u~e a ~ln .which had prepared the roof tiles for the temple of Zeus. Further mvestlgations of the baptistery of the Early Christian church clarified th: plan and history of that structure. The enign1atic rectangular monument lymg between the " gymnasium " and the temple was fully cleared· it is regrettably, still enigmatic, for its interior was riddled by Christian gra~es and no trace of original floor level could be found. It appears to have been entered from the north, i.e. from the direction of the temple. Adjacent to the northeast corner of this structure, and also facing north toward the temple and altar appeared two buildings, probably treasuries, whose position seems to hav~ marked the southern boundary of the sanctuary. At the west end of the tem~le of Zeus Williams dug several trenches to test the stratigraphy and was gratified to be able to identify the ground level associated with the earlier temple. This ground level is identical with the floor level in the adyton of the 4th century temple. The excavator believes that a sacred area lay just outside the early temple at the south and that this was kept accessible after the construction of the larger temple, by the creation of the sunken ad~ton at the rear of the cella.

!n September Mr. Williams spent several weeks in Turkey assisting Miss Melhnk at the Bryn Mawr excavations of Elmali. After his return to Corinth be continued his study of the material from N emea and his revision of Mr. Hill's drawings of the temple of Zeus, for which he is also preparing a text. Work of conservation in the Agora continued under Charles Williams' direc-tion. The Northwest Shops and colonnade have now been refilled from the west and to a point just short of the apsidal temple; the improvement in the

40

appearance and the " legibility " of the monument is truly amazing. A new outdoor architectural display has been set up just outside the Museum at the southeast. Here we have assembled examples of all the orders used at Corinth, including the Aeolic and Tuscan capitals, the chimaera capital, the acanthus column and capital. Other smaller architectural members are gathered close by.

At Corinth during the spring of 1964 Mrs. Weinberg, assisted by Miss Marie Farnsworth, undertook the investigation of several kilns long known to exist to the north of the north city wall (at the east near the Tile Works excavated in 1940, and at the west, near Kokkinovrysi). Both kilns proved to be of the late Roman period and to have been designed for firing tiles and bricks rather than pottery. A third kiln, located in the Vrysoula ravine just east of the Kerameikos, was called to our attention by a workman but proved upon examination to be a Turkish limekiln. However, on the slope adjacent to this kiln appeared a very important deposit of votive pottery of the late 5th century B.C. ; this had apparently fallen from the plateau above. The pottery represents several unusual shapes and styles of decoration, including an inter-esting revival of the earlier " Corinthian " animal style with filling ornament.

The Secretary, Gregory Dickerson, continued during the month of June the investigation of the Roman house at Anaploga; the undersigned completed this work during the fall so that the site could be refilled and the field be returned to its owners. The history of the house has now been clarified and three successive building periods have been identified, with the second of which (late 1st century after Christ) is associated the mosaic discovered h~re in 1962. The work of restoration of that mosaic, under the care of the ch1ef mosaic technician of the Greek Service of Antiquities, Demetrios Skordos, is now nearing completion and we hope to be able to display the mosaic on the walls of the museum court in the near future. The marble head of Athena, the chance discovery of which in 1962 gave rise to our excavation, appears n~w to have been brought to this site in the middle of the 4th century after Chnst to be used as building material. It can no longer be associated with the earlier phases of the house; but it is tempting to give credence to Miss Perlz~ei~:s suggestion that this head belongs to the acrolithic statue of Athena Chahn~bs which Pausanias saw in the sanctuary of that goddess not far from the Odewn and the monument to Medea's children.

Various "minor projects" of excavation have been occasioned by public works and chance finds; Charles Williams has been in charge of most of these: graves on the road to Acrocorinth; a Roman water tunnel with vaulted roof of brick, also ori the slopes of Acrocorinth, northwest of the Church of St. George; a Turkish structure, probably part of a storeroo~ or workro?m of the palace of Kjamil Bey; an interesting group of classical graves m the Vrysoula ravine, where some evidence was recovered for funeral (or me-morial) banquets served above the graves. .

The major excavation at Corinth during 1964 was the resumption of ':ork in the sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone on the slopes of Acrocon~th.. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Stroud returned to Corinth in July. Between that time

41

and Thanksgiving they conducted two eight-week campaigns in the sanctuary; on March 20th of this year they opened up a third period of work. During the winter William Dinsmoor, Jr. prepared a plan of the sanctuary. The archi-tectural form of the Eleusinion is now becoming clearer, although the remains are very fragmentary. It is clear that the sanctuary was built on a series of terraces descending the steep slope from south to north. As a result of the destruction of the buildings in the late Roman period and the subsequent denudation of the hillside as torrential rains gradually wore the surface down to a uniform slope, there remains now only the southern portion of each suc-cessive building; the northern part, together with most of the terrace wall which supported it, is gone. Inevitably the reconstruction of the plan of the sanctuary will involve many hypothetical elements. At the southern edge of the area, we have now exposed a series of rock-cut steps or seats which pre-sumably formed a theatron. Below these and facing toward them is a building, probably a stoa, of Roman times, whose fac;ade may have served as a skene for religious dramas. There may well have been a Greek predecessor to this building. Elsewhere in the sanctuary have appeared two buildings which were probably banqueting halls or triclinia. As in previous campaigns the excava-tion of the Eleusinion has produced vast quantities of pottery and of terracotta figurines . Among especially interesting finds of 1964 are: inscribed pinakes bearing incised names such as Dionysou, Alphiaias, ( H ?) ololyngot,s, Z o-gr( aphou), etc. ; a fragment of Corinthian black-figured pottery on which is represented the fa

volunteer workers-Mrs. Alan Boegehold, Miss Harriet Ziegler, Miss Miranda Marvin, Miss Ursula Keudel, Miss Holly ash and Miss Theodora Meijers-she has continued her reorganization of the inventoried objects and has begun the conversion of some of the old book-inventories into card cata-logues such as we have been using for all finds since 1959. This project has been much facilitated by the welcome presence of Mr. James Heyle, serving as excavation photographer; he is preparing identification photographs of new and old finds. We are sharing the services of Mr. Heyle with the Agora excavations. For our architectural drafting Mr. Williams has principal re-sponsibility; some portions of this very extensive branch of our work have been assigned to William B. Dinsmoor, Jr. and to Joseph Shaw. Assistance in drawing and painting has been given by two very skilful artists, Miss Nina Travlou and Mrs. Joseph Shaw (Mary Coutroubaki). During the spring and early summer Wanda Holtzinger, a member of the School, undertook to carry on the preparation of the deposit index to the Corinth excavations. This index, begun two years earlier, constitutes a catalogue of all wells, cisterns and graves excavated at Corinth since 1896; it will provide a precise grid location of each deposit, a summary of essential information as to physical characteris-tics of the deposit and date of contents, and full bibliographical references to field notebooks and publications. Miss Holtzinger mastered readily the com-plexities of our notebook system and by a very systematic use of the techniques of paleography and historical research managed to elucidate many intricate problems.

We have been fortunate to welcome many visiting scholars. Among these we recall with pleasure and thanks: Professors R. H. Howland, C. H. Morgan (and Mrs. Morgan) , Charles A. Robinson, Jr. (and Mrs. Robinson), Richard Stillwell, David Talbot Rice, W. H. Schuchhardt; Mrs. Irma Cremosnik of the Sarajevo Museum; members of the Scuola Italiana di Atene; members of the Israeli Exploration Society; members of the
