Grieve not for the dead. Rather recall the words of Lawrence Binyon, the English poet- "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not wither them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." I turn to Pericles for a final salutation and an e~itaph: "The sacrifice which they collectively made was individually repaid to them; for they received again each one for himself a praise which grows not old, and the noblest of all sepulchres-! speak not of that in which their remains are laid, but of that in which their glory survives, and is proclaimed always and on every occasion in word and deed. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in for­ eign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on scone but in the hearrs of men. Make them your examples, and esteeming courage to be freedom and freedom to be happiness, do not weigh too nicely the perils of war." Ic is not always given to men and to nations to rewrite the verdicts which time has passed upon them. A century ago such an undisputed verdict was pronounced upon the once great nations of Greece and Rome--"The glory that was Greece, the grandeur chat was Rome." In these past three years your people of whom you are so justly proud have rewritten chat verdict: The glory that is Greece, the grandeur that was Rome. 14 NECROLOGY ANASTASIO$ AIX>SSIDES Business Manager of the Agora Excavation, 1931-1940 Consultant of the American School of Classical Studies, 1940-1942 For the School, and for all friends of the School, the tragedy of occupied Greece has this year been made doubly tragic by the news of the death, on October 9, 1942, of Anascasios Adossides. At the time of his dead1, Adossides had been associated with the School for nearly fifteen years, as Business Manager of the Agora Excavation until 1939, since then as Consultant for the School itself. But he came to the School only after a long and distinguished career as a public servant of Greece. Adossides was born nearly seventy years ago in Constantinople of an old and aristocratic Greek family. H is formal education was begun in the Greek schools of Constantinople and completed in Paris. Each contributed its particular share to his development-it was a development which would have been the natural one for him, one cannot doubt, even without formal education-as on the one hand, a Greek, deeply conscious of the heritage of his country and his race, and, on the other, a true man of the world, in the best sense of chat phrase. There followed a period of years in journalism, as a correspondent first in Turkey (whe nce he was forced to escape in disguise), later in Greece and the Balkans. This was a period when his interest in and his understanding of the issues of Near Eastern politics in­ creased and deepened, and when his views about the part Greece might and should play in those policies, and about the rightness of the Greek cause, hardened into con­ victions. When , early in chis century, he met Eleutherios Venizelos, his background had prepared him for that meeting and for its results. In Venizelos he found noc only a lifelong friend but a leader with whom he saw eye to eye on most aspects of the problems of Greece and her future, and with whom he could work for the cause. It was not long before he left journalism co ally himself with Venizclos and actively to enter politics. Himself free of personal ambition, he was content to serve as a lieutenant; but his practical politician's understanding of human nature (he lacked, however, the politician's cynicism), and his statesman's grasp of issues combined to make him one of the most crusted of Venizelos' advisors. In 1917 he was a member of Venizelos' provisional government in Salonica; and during the last year of the war and after, he served as Governor of Macedonia, filling brilliantly an extraordinarily difficult and delicate position. His remark­ able talents in both administration and diplomacy were recognized with decorations by both the British and the French Governments. It is characteristic of Adossides chat in later years some of his closest friends did not know, at lease from his own lips, of these honors which had been his.
