"It is now supported by a confederation, so to speak, under the auspices of the Archaeological Institute of America, of fifteen of our chief colleges. This arrangement, though admirable as a temporary expedient and a pleasant novelty, in that it unites with a common interest so many of our centrifugal institutions of higher learning, would be unpractical as a permanent plan.

The present method of maintaining the school has been accompanied with good results in awaking a more wide-spread interest throughout the country than could ever have been accomplished with a permanent endowment. "The close union of fifteen colleges in the promotion of a common object is a spectacle unique in this country, where the relations between the colleges are far too slight, and it is a cheering indication of the future successful development among us of classical studies in fields hitherto little cultivated...
