American School of classical studies,

An institution founded in Athens, Greece, in 1882. It is a branch of the Archaeological Institute of America, and is supported through an independent committee of representatives from a number of American colleges, each of which contributes $250 a year for this purpose. It was erected by private subscriptions, upon a site given by the Greek government, and is valued, together with its grounds, at $46,000. The endowment is about $50,000. Aside from the study of known remains of Greek art and civilization, the school has engaged in independent excavations at Eretrin and Argos, with valuable results. Associated with it are similar institutions supported by the German, English, French, and Greek governments.
