An Archaeological Tour to Greece and Italy THIS tour is designed especially for students and teachers of the classics, ancient history and archaeology who can be absent from their work only during the summer and who desire to see these lands under the guidance of a former instructor in Greek at Harvard and a member of the American School at Athens in 1897-1899. The party will sail from New York for Naples about June 23d, and go first to Greece, to which at least five weeks will be given. Besides Athens and vicinity, the party will probably visit Nauplia, Epidauros, Tiryns, Mycenæ, Corinth, Eleusis, Cape Sounion, Delphi, Olympia, Etolia and Corfu, and possibly places of interest in Thessaly. In Italy a week or more will be given to Rome and vicinity and the remaining time to Pompeii, Pæstum, Naples and vicinity. Returning, the party will sail from Naples about September 2d, reaching New York about September 15th, both voyages being by the Mediterranean route. The cost of the tour will be, as in 1902, but $475, which includes all necessary expenses for travel, living and sight-seeing. As the size of the party is limited and places are already taken, applications should be made at an early date. The plan of the tour is endorsed by leading educators such as Profs. John Williams White, of Harvard; T. D. Seymour, of Yale; J. Irving Manatt, of Brown, and M. L. D'Ooge, of Michigan University, and the feasibility of summer travel in Greece and Italy was demonstrated by the experience of the party in 1902. For further information and circulars, address THOMAS FORSYTHE NELSON ARTHUR STODDARD COOLEY, Ph.D. 387 Central Street, Auburndale, Mass. Genealogical Scientist T HE professional services of Mr. Nelson may be obtained in tracing any line of family descent, however intri- cate or indefinite the known facts may be; especially where exhaustive search must be made through local, town, county or state records, either in the United States or in Europe. A special effort is made in every case to gather all possible data that would be of value, from a scientific standpoint, in determining the development and transmission of family traits or characteristics, either mental or physical; to cite the historical and sociological environment of each individual head of family and thus enable descendants to study and know something more of their ancestry than is found in a mere catalogue of ancestral lines. Consultation and preliminary investigation will be made free of charge, and correspondence is desired with any person interested in, or wishing to pursue any line of genealogical research. Personal interview may be arranged for by correspondence. Address P. O. Box 473, Washington, D. C.
