Travel Our commitments are the cost of bringing our director, Dr. Hill, whose services are free, from Athens and back, and to return Dr. and Mrs. Young to the U.S. on the termination of their joint scholarship. I defray my own travel expenses, and our architect, Col. Last, whose services are also free, has none; I have succeeded in persuading him to buy a house next door; he is a most valuable member of the expedition.

Scholarships Our commitments are to pay the Youngs' joint scholarship of $ 3,200.00 per annum.
