56 REPORTS ON INVESTIGATIONS AND PROJECTS. 



gator competent to consider the question of the music of the ceremonies. To 

 look after this part of the investigation Dr. von Hornbostel, of the Univer- 

 sity of Berlin, has been invited to come to Chicago to make a careful exami- 

 nation of the music and report on it. He is at the present time in Chicago 

 engaged in this work, and some interesting results are looked for. A volume 

 of texts has been carefully planned. Much material has already been secured 

 for this volume, and its scope has been so planned as to make it of value not 

 only to ethnologists but especially to students of psychology and linguistics. 



ARCHEOLOGY. 



American School of Classical Studies at Athens. James R. Wheeler, Chair- 

 man of Managing Committee, Columbia University, New York, N. Y. 

 Grant No. 317. {a) Maijitcnance of a fellowship in architecture at Athejis, 

 $1,000. {b) Excavation on the site of ancient Corinth and exploration, 

 $1,500. (For previous report see Year Book No. 4, p. 54.) $2,500. 

 (a) Mr. Gordon Allen, A. B., who held this fellowship during the past 

 year, has undertaken the careful preparation of drawings of the ancient 

 Sanctuary of ^sculapius, on the south slope of the Acropolis. In this work 

 he has been greatly assisted by Mr. O. M. Washburn, fellow at the school 

 of the Archeological Institute, and Mr. L. D. Caskey, secretary of the school. 

 The Aclepicum, though excavated a good many years ago, has never been 

 carefully studied from the architectural point of view, and no adequate draw- 

 ings of the sanctuary have ever been published. It therefore seemed a good 

 thing to the authorities of the school to have such drawings made, with the 

 idea that they should later be published in connection with descriptive text 

 and an account of the cult of ^sculapius at Athens. Mr. O. M. Washburn 

 has undertaken the preparation of such an account, and it is hoped that pub- 

 lication may follow in due course, though this unfortunately depends on the 

 rather limited financial resources of the school. Mr. Allen's drawings are 

 reported to be finished and to be of excellent character. 



{b) The excavation work of the school has not been carried on during the 

 present year, owing to the recent death of the Director, which forced upon 

 the managers a temporary organization for the year. There is therefore no 

 report to make under this head.
