income of these Fellowships is paid in three equal instalments on August 15, January 15, and June 1 for the School at Athens, and on September 1, January 1, and April 1 for the School in Rome.

The Fellowship examinations of 1907 will be held in March of that year under conditions similar to those which are stated above. Special inquiries on the subject of the Fellowships of the School at Athens should be addressed to Professor Harold N. Fowler, Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio; and of the Fellowships of the School in Rome, to Professor John C. Rolfe, 4400, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

IN THE SCHOOL IN PALESTINE

The Thayer Fellowship with a stipend of $600 will be awarded for the year 1906-07, chiefly on the basis of a competitive written examination, although other evidence of ability and attainments on the part of candidates will be taken into consideration.

This Fellowship is open to Bachelors of Arts of universities and colleges in the United States of America, and to other American students of similar attainments. Candidates will be expected to have such a knowledge of Greek (including Hellenistic Greek), Latin, French, and German as will enable them to make effective use of books written in those languages. The examination will also include Biblical Hebrew, the history and geography of Palestine (ancient and modern), its archaeology, the elements of North Semitic epigraphy, and the outlines of Biblical and early Christian literature. Optional papers will be set in Syriac and modern written Arabic. Students who propose to devote themselves chiefly to the early Christian period or to mediaeval and modern times should shape their preparation accordingly, and will be permitted, on consultation with the Committee, to substitute other subjects for some of those named.

The examination will be held on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of March, 1906, at any one of the colleges or theological seminaries coöperating in the maintenance of the School, namely, Andover Theological Seminary, Auburn Theological Seminary, Boston University, Brown University, Bryn Mawr College, Colgate University, Columbia University, Cornell University, the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Hartford Theological Seminary, Harvard University, the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Johns Hopkins University, McCormick Theological Seminary, New York University, Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton University, Trinity

College in Hartford, Union Theological Seminary in New York, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University.

Persons intending to offer themselves for the examination should consult the Secretary of the Committee on Fellowships, Professor Charles C. Torrey, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., and must announce to him their intention in writing not later than the first of February. On making such announcement the applicant will receive a blank to be filled out with information respecting his studies and attainments.

The award of the Fellowship will be made known to all candidates as soon after the examination as practicable, probably by the first of May.

The income of the Fellowship will be paid in two instalments of $300 each, - the first on August 1, the second on the fifteenth day of the following May.

FELLOWSHIP EXAMINATIONS IN THE SCHOOL AT ATHENS

The examination in 1906 will cover the subjects mentioned below, and will be based on the books specially named. Other books are named for supplementary reading and reference. For additional titles, candidates are referred to the list of "Books Recommended," which was published in the Appendix to each of the first two volumes of the Journal of Archaeology, Second Series. Each candidate should strive to make his study of the special subjects in Greek Archaeology mentioned below as largely objective as possible, by the careful inspection and comparison of monuments of Greek art, in originals if possible, otherwise in casts, models, electrotypes, photographs, and engravings. The time at which examinations will be held in 1906 is named in each case. Details of the subjects of examination, particularly in Greek Architecture and Greek Sculpture, are subject to change from year to year.

Fellows are charged no fee for tuition. The men who are holders of fellowships will be allowed to occupy furnished rooms in the School building on payment by each of $20 per annum.

Fellows of the School are advised to spend the summer preceding their year at Athens in study at the museums of Northern Europe.
