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.

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.
