(a) Fellowship in Architecture: 



Mr. William B. Dinsmoor, the Fellow in Architecture, has continued his 

 work on the Propylaea at Athens. This year he has devoted much time to 

 the building inscription and has succeeded in bringing together so many un- 

 recognized and unknown fragments of the inscription that a new publication 

 of this important document has become imperative. The building accounts 

 of the Parthenon are closely related to this inscription, and in his study of 

 these Mr. Dinsmoor has added much that is important for the study of this 

 temple. Thus a good deal of material has been gathered for the proposed 

 publication on the Propylaea. Mr. Dinsmoor has completed, also, some in- 

 teresting studies of remains at Delphi, which are soon to appear in the 

 Bulletin de correspondance hellenique. These are concerned generally witli 

 the identification and dates of the Treasuries, and particularly with the archi- 

 tectural features and sculptural decoration of the Siphnian and Cnidian 

 Treasuries. These studies are of high merit. 



(6) Special fellozuship: 



Dr. Johnson was occupied at the beginning of the year with a comparative 

 study of certain syntactical points in the Attic psephismata before 300 B. C, 

 and in the orators Isaeus and Isocrates. This will be published for the Johns 

 Hopkins University. Later Dr. Johnson resumed work on the inscriptions 

 which he found last year. This led to a study of the archons of the third 

 century B. C. through the fixing of a new date (232/1) for the establishment 

 of the tribe Ptolemais at Athens. The whole result has been a noteworthy 

 contribution to the history of the Macedonian period at Athens.
