The American Archaeo1og, cal Insti-
tuto was organized in Boston, In 1879,

OF the world. by lectures, excavations
and society. It's real object Is to con

country by spreading the love of the
beautiful This influence which comes
from tho love OF the beautiful helps
one TO get at the source of all that s
| best In art by tracing the history Of
\ tho past down to modern days. Moth

eFolut' onary. going back as 1t does 10
the early intellectually of man. 1t is
the historical background for the
awakening of art.
