176 ' REPORTS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND PROJECTS. 



A general view of the present state of the excavations is shown on plate 

 12, and it is hoped that this may make the condition of the work at Corinth 

 clear to the eye. In spite of the delay which has already occurred in issuing 

 the extended bulletin on the excavations, which is in preparation, it has 

 seemed wise to hold this back a little longer, that the most recent views on 

 several subjects may be presented in it. 



The Director of the school, Mr. B. H. Hill, has continued his study of the 

 important little sanctuary previously uncovered and dating from Greek times, 

 in which arrangements appear to have been made for mysterious oracular 

 responses. This seems to be an important discovery for the study of similar 

 religious practices. 



(&) Fellowship in Architecture. — Mr. H. D. Wood, Fellow in Archi- 

 tecture, has prepared a careful plan of the field of excavation at Corinth. 

 Mr. Wood has also made a study of a Roman stoa of considerable impor- 

 tance. He has also continued his study of the Propylsea at Athens, the results 

 of which are of distinct scientific merit. These are soon to be published in 

 the Journal of Archeology. 



Mr. Wood is obliged to return to this country next year, and Mr. William 

 B. Dinsmoor has been appointed to succeed him as Fellow in Architecture. 

 Mr. Dinsmoor is a graduate of Harvard, and has already published (Journal 

 of Archeology, 1908, Nos. i and 2) a valuable architectural study of the 

 Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

(a) During the year 1907-08 Dr. Esther B. Van Deman and Dr. Elias W. 

 Loew held positions under the grant. They have been continuously engaged 

 in research. Dr. Van Deman has published a paper on "The value of the 

 vestal statues as originals," in the American Journal of Archeology, 1908, 

 Part HI. Her work on the Atrium Vest?e has been brought to a conclusion 

 and is in process of publication. Dr. Loew continued his studies on the 

 Lambardio manuscripts, in preparation for publication of a historical exam- 

 ination of the script. In June, 1908, he published a monograph entitled 

 "Die altesten Kalendarien aus Monte Cassino," in the Quellen und Unter- 

 suchungen zur lat. Philologie des Mittelalters. Prof. J.B.Carter, the director 

 of the school, is very much encouraged by the gratifying scientific results so 

 far secured.
