Since the success of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens was assured there has been a general wish to see the establishment of a similar school in Rome. With this in view, a committee of about seventy-five men, representing the forty-four leading colleges and universities of the United States and almost every city of importance, was appointed by the Archaeological Institute of America to consider the feasibility of its establishment. At a meeting of the council of he Institute at New York on May 11, the school at Rome was taken into fellowship with the Archaeological...
...words of the advance agent, the show has many times traversed the Atlantic; it was the crowning feature at the great Carnival in London in commemoration of the fiftieth year of the reign of Queen Victoria; it disputed with the Eiffel Tower the palm for interest and success at the World's Fair in Paris in 1889; it traversed Europe, crossed the Alps and the Pyrenees, and camped beneath the walls of the Alhambra and within the vast interior of the Colosseum at Rome.

The committee calls upon the class to aid them in carrying this out, and they have a right...
...imperative, if Class Day is to be a success, that the tickets to the exercises shall not be sold to outsiders. It should therefore be unnecessary to urge upon each member of the senior class the necessity of following implicitly the conditions upon which he purchases his tickets. If much trouble had not been caused in former years from the sale of tickets by a few seniors, this appeal would have been thought useless. Certainly to every man who has the honor of his class at heart, and hopes for a successful Class Day, the appeal is useless...
