Prof. Benjamin Dean Merritt, of' the Latin and Greek department, returned yesterday to Ann Arbor,' following a short trip abroad in Europe, extending from December 14 to 28, during which time he ob-: tained valuable information con- cerning ancient Greek inscriptions. The expenses of the trip were de- frayed by a grant of money from the fund made available by the Rockefeller Foundation for research in the humanities. Upon reaching Paris, Professor Merritt's first point of destination Was the Louvre; he had previously planned to study there a preserved inscription which he suspected might throw new light on the offi-< cial calendar of Athens in the fifth century. In commenting on the re- sults of his studies, Professor Mer-j ritt declared, "During the four days of my stay in Paris it was. possible to obtain readings which definitely determined the character of the: official Athenian calendar. So far as I was able I exhausted the pos- ilities. s of gaining new evidence I s o '-t' rr t f. f'hoto from this inscription.
