Rejecting the attitude Of the student

prefer not to take many cuts are forced
to remain on the campus until the FRI

IN AN ANCIENT GREEK CITY.
What happened was this: They
had found, on the coast OF the
Black sea, a buried city OF the
Greeks. It is a matter OF compon
knowledge to students and archae-
illogical experts OF ancient Greece
that 1900 years B. c. the Greek
colonists located early trading
routes on the shores of the Black
sea.
The map of ancient Greece
shows how the colonies spread to
the north and the east, where the
great rivers offered to enterpTis-
ing tradesmen facilities for pene-
tratlng into wild and unknown
lands. Such colonies were dotted
along the shore OF the Black sea.

garian and Russian territory.
Many Of them developed into
large and flourishing cities, well
and richly built, and their ruins
and archaeological treasures have
only recently come to light.
Russia, In those days, was in
habited by barbarians and the
