ee =! ees pumas AMERICAN SCHOOL AT ROME, Courses of Instruction—Diggings Stopped by the Government. The American School of Classical Studies, in Rome, opened for its third year on the fifteenth of last month, under the direction of Professor Clem- ent L. Smith of Harvard University. Mr. Richard Norton of Bryn Mawr College is Professor of Archeology for the coming year. Regular courses of instruction given are as follows: by the Director, “Latin Epigraphy” and “Latin Paleography”; by the Professor of Archzology, “The Topography and Monuments of An- cient Rome and its Neighborhood,” “Roman and Etruscan Art,” ‘Early Christian and Medizval Art.” Pro- fessor Smith’s course in “Enigraphy”’ will include practical exercises upon the inscriptions in the museums. Stu- dents who, at the conclusion of the course in “Paleography,”’ find them- selves especially interested in that sci- ence, will be set to work upon the study of manuscripts in the Vatican and other libraries, which have been gen- erously thrown open to the School. Prof. Norton’s course “Topography and Monuments” will be mainly given upon the spots or before the monu- ments discussed; while, in his course upon “Roman and Etruscan Art,” he will have the museums at his command, and, in his course upon “Early Chris- tian and Medieval Art,’ the churches as well. In addition to the courses mentioned, certain others that have been given in the last two years may again be pre- sented. They are: mismatics,”’ given in the coin-room of the Vatican, by Profesor Enrico Ste- venson, curator of coins in the Vatican Museum. A course upon the more important Christian catacombs, given in the catacombs themselves by Pro- fessor Crazio Marucchi, curator of the Egyptian Museum in the Vatican. A course upon ‘Pompeii and Naples,’ by Dr. August Man, joint author with Overbeck of the well-known book upon Pompeii. | The executive . committee of the School for the following year consists of Prof. Hale of Chicago University, chairman; Prof. Burton of Rochester; Prof. Frothingham of Princeton; Prof. Merrill. of _Wesleyan; Prof. J... W. White of Harvard; Profi. Seymour of Yale; Prof. Warren of Johns Hop- kins? and Mr. .C. G;- Cuyler: of: New York, Treasurer. The school year lasts from October 15 to August 15. The regulations per- mit students to obtain leave, for a lim- ited period, to study elsewhere in Italy (under the supervision of the Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens) in Greece; and they also make it possible to obtain leave to prosecute special studies elsewhere than in Italian and Greek lands during the months of June, July and August, pro- vided that such studies are supplement- ary to work already begun in Rome. In April the students will probably go to Greece to be with Dr. Doérpfeld on his “Reisen.” The Professor of Ar- cheology may go with them. No ex- tended tour will be taken by the Direc- tor in Italy, but several excursions will probably be taken to places in Lati- num and Etruria. The government has not yet per- mitted the School to make any dig- gings. Some were begun at Norba the first year and stopped by the government. It is hoped, however, that such concessions will be granted later. The library of the School con- sists of over a thousand bound vol- umes, and additions are constantly being made. About $4,000 has already - been expended upon it. Bachelors of Arts of colleges in good ‘standing may become members of the School by submitting evidence of pro- ficiency sufficient to enable them to pursue the courses offered. Applica- tion should be made to the Director, care of Sebasti and Reali, Rome, Italy, or to the chairman of the managing committee, Prof. Hale of the Chicago University. A course in “Nu- YALE vs. PRINCETO WiAsa ALU MONT The School has started out in a very auspicious way in this, its third year, and a large increase in the number of those intending to pursue a course of study in Rome was expected when the School opened a few weeks ago. ———_> oe ____——_- Freshman Football Captain. James Hutchinson Wear, 1901, of St. Louis, Mo., has been elected perma- nent captain of the Freshman football team. He prepared for college at the Smith Academy, St. Louis, where he played half-back for two years. ——+00—_—_ Inter-Class Football. The final game in the inter-class foot- ball series was played Wednesday, November 10, and resulted in a tie. The game was between the ’98 and the I90I teams, and the score was 4 to 4. The championship of the series is undecided. The first game was played between the 1900 and Igor teams, and was won by the latter by a score of. 6 to 4. The second game was played between the ’98 and ’99 teams. The score was 4 to 0 in favor of ’08. The captains of the teams are: ’08, Robert J. Garrison: °o9, Henry T. Bowles; 1900, Charles W. McKelvey; 1901, James H. Wear. Inter-class football was tried as an innovation at Yale and its results have been most gratifying. It was thought that, as there were inter-class baseball and rowing contests, there should also be inter-class football, and that as a result class ieeling would be _ still further emphasized. There is much good material in the University which was not developed on the different Freshman teams, and this inter-class football has been very successful in bringing it out. It has also helped in a great measure with the doing away of the numerous consolidated teams, which have done much to injure Yale’s fair name in the past. The class teams plaved many outside games. were everywhere understood and rated as such, and outside teams knew exactly whom they were meeting and what sort of calibre to expect. The Senior team may be cited as an instance of the success of the system. Its remarkable play throughout the season, and without the aid of men. from the Scientific School, which the other teams had, has been so com- mendable that its members are to re- ceive their class numerals for their good showing. : ———————_—_$e@_——. Basket Ball News. Twenty-three candidates for the Uni- versity Basket-Ball team are now prac- ticing under the direction of Capt. W. H. Peck, ’98. All of last year’s team but one member will plav this season, and practice will be held at least three times a week. The following schedule has been ar- ranged by Manager S. A. Marshall, 98: Dec. 4, with the Waterbury Y. M. C. A., at Waterbury; Dec. 9, with the Middletown Y. M. C. A., at Midletown; about thirty Freshmen are trying Dec. 11, with the Hartford Y. M. C. A., at ‘Hartiord: ~° for the 1901 team. This is the number that responded to the first call for can- didates last year, and as more men are constantly coming, it is expected ‘to reach last year’s total of sixty, when the season is further advanced. ———_++—___- Professor Hoppin’s Lectures. Profesor Hoppin ‘will give a course of six lectures at the Art School next term on “Early Italian Painting of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries,” especially that of Northern central Italy. This will be followed by a few lec- tures on the “English School of Paint- ing,” particularly its modern phase represented by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Watts and Burne-Jones.
