REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON FELLOWSHIPS To the Members of the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens: The Committee on Fellowships has suffered an irreparable loss in the death of Sidney N. Deane, our Chairman. In accordance with the policy of the Managing Committee not to award fellow­ ships for study in this country, no Fellowship Examinations were offered this year and no fellowships were awarded. We recommend that Miss Lang, at the close of the war, be allowed to assume her fellowship in Greece, with a stipend of $1,300.00. Brown University Providence, Rhode Island May 10, 1943 40 Respectfully submitted, C. A. Robinson, Jr. REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON PLACEMENTS To the Members of the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies at Athen s: Professor Tanner resigned as Chairman of the Committee on Placements in March, 1942, but is continuing as a member of the Committee. Professor Harper, of Williams College, was appointed to succeed him, but because of pressure of other duties found it necessary to relinquish the post. The present Chairman was ap­ pointed in July, 1942. Some correspondence has been carried on with presidents of colleges regard­ ing vacancies, but there has been comparatively little that our Committee could do in recent months because of the lack of available candidates who might be recom­ mended for positions. This lack is due to the fact that a considerable number of former members of the School are engaged in special war-time activities of various sores. It is obvious that when these activities come to an end the Committee will be faced with the problem of seeking positions for not a few persons, and its most im­ portant present responsibility would seem to be to make plans in advance regarding the procedure to be followed at that time. A start has been made by drawing up and adopting a questionnaire for applicants to fill out which will provide the detailed information that the Committee needs to have in its files. The Alumni Association has generously cooperated with our Committee by giving space in its News Letter to requests for information concerning vacancies and for names of persons available for positions.
