306 THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
American School of Classical Studies at Athens
Grants to Former Fellows
The American School of Classical Studies at
Athens has received a grant of $6,000 for use
during the period from July 1,1935, to June 30,
1936, toward the expenses of former fellows of the
school while engaged in preparing final reports
on the Agora excavations. The Foundation has
provided a number of training fellowships for the
Agora excavations since 1929, and has pledged
similar help until December 31,1936. In all, there
have been three grants totaling 336,800 for these
fellowships, which gave specially selected advanced
students a training period as participants
in the Agora excavations. The recent grant provides
the salaries of three former fellows during
the year 1935-36. These fellows began their
training with a full classical and archeological
training in the United States, and they are now
experienced workers in special phases of archeological
research. The time needed to complete
the entire program connected with the Agora
excavations will be materially shortened by securing
these former fellows to complete sections
of the general report immediately after their
terms of advanced study.
A grant of 25,000 was also made toward the
plans of the American School of Classical Studies
at Athens for special publication during the year
1936.
