Classical Club and a number OF invited
friends listened with great pleasure TO
an address on Five Years i'm Greek
Lands" by Miss Harriet A. Boyd. who
was for some time fellow Of the Ameri-
can school at Athens. and recently won
fame in the archaeological world by her
successful excavations at GOurnia i'm
Crete. Miss Boyd related many interest
ing incidents OF her student life and
travels in Greece. and OF experiences
during the war with Turkey, when she
served as a volunteer nurse for the
Greek soldiers and was decorated by the
King In recognition OF her services.
She also described the archaeological
work now being carried on in Crete by
the different nationalities. and mention
ed the fnding Of neolithic remains al a
lower level than previous discoveries.
which seem to confirm the belief that the
civilization Of Crete and the surround
ing islands was native and not Egyptian
or Phoenician.
The Columbian Classical Club. under
the auspices OF which the address was
given. was organized three years ago to
promote the study and appreciation OF
ancient life and literature among the
students in the college and graduate
school OF the Columbian University: but
the privilege Of associate membership
has been extended 10 other friends OF
archaeology and the classics resident in
this city. The officers for the present
year are: President. Prof. Mitchell Car
roll; recording secretary. Miss Dorothy
