In 1954, the Classical Asso¬
ciation celebrated its Jubilee
by the issue of a volume to
which a number of scholars
contributed, under the title
Fifty Tears of Classical Scholar¬
ship.
Within a decade of its
publication this book has be¬
come a rarity, and it has been
decided to reprint it with the
substitution of one chapter
and with appendices repre¬
senting the development of
classical studies in the various
subjects treated in the book
during the last twelve years.
