Abstract
ON October 13, the British School of Archaeology at Athens will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its foundation by holding at the Royal Academy of Arts, Burlington House, an exhibition to illustrate the discoveries in Greece and Crete which have resulted from the work of the School, together with a special exhibit devoted to the Minoan civilizations of Greece, and the excavations of the School's honorary student, Sir Arthur Evans, at Knossos, in which the School's architects took part. This exhibit is being prepared by Sir Arthur Evans himself, with facilities kindly given him by the Keeper and Visitors of the Ashmolean Museum. It is understood that the exhibition will be inaugurated by His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, on October 13 at 3 p.m., and will be open to the public from October 14 until November 14. In connexion with the jubilee of the School, it is proposed also to raise a special fund to enable the School to increase its staff, improve its library and accommodation, and provide for the needs of the graduate students who, in increasing numbers, are sent to Greece for advanced study by the universities.
