ral way to have it done would perhaps fee to have someone who is both accurate 
and interesting take charge of such a column every month and fill it with short 
crisp informing notes.If be were in the vicinity of Boston and able to attend the 
meetings I should think that President Brdinerd would be a person well fitted to 
do this,but 1 don't doubt that there is someone nearer at hand who might do it | 
just as successfully,if he could be discovered.It would take someone .who could j 
grasp the essential and significant features of the meetings and their discussions 
rather than merely making a formal abstract of them. 
In regard to the form of publication I should think that perhaps some saving 
could be made by using a less expensive sort of paper,even though the illustea- | 
tions might have too be relegated to pistes at the back of the numbers.Of course I 
realize as well as anyone the difficulties the editors have to get material and 
the time it must take from their regular work to edit it,yet I think that the 
practical effect upon the subscribers of having numbers appear so much in arrears 
as they sometimes do is somewhat discouraging.lt would improve the norale of the j 
subscribers,if I may so say,if the numbers could appear promptly rather than in 
such a way as to make everyone wonder whether the ggurnal had expired since the 
last issue.lt is very hard to make such a suggestion,when the editors so generous¬ 
ly furnish time and labor,yet 1 think that it isa distinct psychological fact to 
be reckoned with. Finally,I think that there must be a fair number of readers who, 
if appealed to,would give a little something,at least,to help the journal along.I 1 
myself could not give largely out I should be glad to double the prioe of my sub¬ 
scription rather than have it stop.That would be a better way,I think,than to 
raise the price of subscription too much,which would probably cut off some subscri 
bers who are now on the margin.Fas there been any thought of trying to get some 
endowment raised or bequeathed to help pay the expenses? The Harvard Studies in 
Classical Philology are thus maintained,and I dare any that there are other such 
•A 
oases more numerous than we realize. These are just a few points that have occurre 
to me.If you think of any use that can be made of them you are welcome to do so; 
I hope that you will keep, me posted as to how matters develop. 
Witn all kindest regards from us,
