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.

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.

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. :

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.

the wind, or zero weather, or
chilly mists, or anything else, if
you are a bit provident and
warmly dressed on the 20th.
Got your sweater? Are you sure

pair of wristers? They do a
heap of good. How are your
