Abstract
THE celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies in June last has been made the occasion for the publication of a history of the Society, which appears as a supplement to the recent issue of the Society's journal. The task of telling the story could have been entrusted to no more competent author than Mr. George Macmillan. He is one of the few remaining original members, he acted as honorary secretary from the inception of the Society until 1919, and is now its honorary treasurer; but beyond this the idea of the formation of such a society was his, and it was due to him and to Prof. Sayce, with the staunch support of Mr. (afterwards Sir) Charles Newton, that the Society came into being in 1879. Mr. Macmillan had also profited much by the support and advice of M. Gennadius, then Minister for Greece in Great Britain.
