1888. For excellence in Greek a scholarship in the American
College, Athens, Greece, was conferred upon him at the end
of his Senior year. In the spring of 1889, he married Miss
Osceola Pleasant of Augusta, Ga. He attended the American
College, Athens, Greece, during 1890-91. Under his
supervision the site of Ancient Eretria, now Nea Psara, on
the island of Enbola, was excavated and in collaboration
with Prof. John Pickard, the only extant map of this ancient
city was made by him. All the places of classic note in
Greece were visited and studied by him. His M. A. degree was
conferred upon him by Brown University upon the presentation
of his thesis, "The Demes of Attica." He also took one
semester of lectures in the University of Berlin, in 1891.
He is author of several archaeological productions and has
contributed articles on this subject to the _New York
Independent_ and other journals of like standing. He is at
present a member of the Philological Association of America,
and membership, which he accepts, in the Archaeological
Institute, has also been tendered him. Ever since the fall
of 1891, he has held the chair of Greek and German in Paine
College, Augusta, Ga. Besides, he is a preacher of the order
of Elder in the C. M. E. Church in America. As
representative of that church, he was a delegate to the
Ecumenical Conference, held in London, England, September,
1901. During the session he preached and lectured for a
number of the largest and most intelligent audiences in
England.

of the Negro race, so far and in such manner as it has already
proceeded, is defective, when it comes to the question of training
Negroes to support their own business enterprises and professional
