The Treasurer of the Center has just received from Miss Ellen M. Cushman a gift of five hundred dollars, in memory of Louise Kossuth Green, "who loved Egypt and enriched the lives of many people by her successful teaching of ancient history in the Junior High School of Montclair, New Jersey. She visited Egypt in 1909, and her memories of her trip became living pictures to her pupils." It is pleasant to think that some of the Fellows appointed by the Center to work in Egypt may be able to carry on the torch lighted by a gifted teacher half a century ago.

:
what color were the ancient Egyptians?” This is a question that strikes fear into the hearts of most American Egyptologists since it so often presages a barrage of questions and assertions from the Afrocentric perspective. Few of us have devoted much thought or research to the contentions of the Afrocentric movement, so we nervous-ly try to say something reasonable, and hope that the questioner won’t persist and that we won’t end up looking silly or racist or both.

It is the sad duty of the American Research Center to record the loss by death of one of its Founders. In June 1965, Mrs. Joseph Lindon Smith, '’Aunt Corinna” to a host of her younger friends, died in her 90th year at her home in Dublin, New Hampshire.
She had, together with her late husband, spent much time in Egypt ever since the early years of this century, had been a keen observer, on the spot, of many of the exciting finds of the period by archaeologists, and had developed a deep interest in ancient and present-day Egypt. The writer first knew her during the Smith's frequent sojourns at the camps of the Harvard-Boston Expedition, where they were the guests of its Director, George Reisner, while "Uncle Joe” was engaged in his outstanding work as a painter of archaeological subjects. Corinna Smith, being endowed with a brilliant and wide-ranging mind, boundless energy, and great enthusiasm, took a deep interest in the archaeological work in which her husband was so intimately involved. Her interest, however, was all-inclusive; she studied Arabic, the Koran, and the Mohamedan religion, and occupied herself with contemporary Egypt and its many problems. It is fair to say that during these years in Egypt there were few figures of importance, especially in the archaeological world, whom she did not know, whether they were Egyptian, European or American.

Tell el-Fara'in, the site of ancient Buto, is one of the most imposing mounds in the Northwest Delta. Situated roughly four kilo-meters north of the hamlet of E1 Aguzein on the main road linking Kafr-el-Sheikh and Dissuq, the tell occupies the 900 meters that separate the villages of Baz and Sekhmowi and measures slightly more than one kilometer from north to south. The jagged remains of mud-brick walls of the last occupation of the site give it a gaunt but dramatic skyline and make it visible for miles around. The area of domestic occupation rises in two massive mounds, separated by a dusty, slightly undulating plain between two and three hundred meters in breadth. One naturally thinks of the bipartite nature of ancient Buto, and since the cache of bronzes which Engelbach published in the early '20s and in which Horus of Pe figured prominently was discovered on the southern of these two hills, the members of the present expedition have dubbed that mound "Pe", and its northern counterpart "Dep". Situated between and to the east of these two hills of debris is a fairly well-preserved temenos wall of mud brick, rectangular in shape, which seems orientated towards the west.

Since President Nasser's recent visit to Luxor, described in Newsletter Number Twenty-seven, a committee has been formed to undertake a speedy improvement of Luxor. This committee has already arrived in Luxor to make plans for extensive alterations in this most famous of Upper Egyptian sites. An expenditure of four million pounds is contemplated to make the region more attractive to tourists, and of this sum, five hundred thousand pounds has already been made available. It is said that the work is to be completed within six months. Since the antiquities of ancient Thebes and the necropolis on the opposite bank will be affected, the well-known Egyptian archaeologist, Zaki Saad, is a member of the Committee.

The tourists who wend their way through the narrow streets of Esna in order to visit the temple situated in the city's busiest section, never dream that out beyond the crowded town, the desert, seemingly so empty and barren, likewise contains numerous and interesting vestiges of antiquity, mainly of the early Christian period. It was with the idea of rounding out his picture of the ancient remains in the vicinity of Esna that Serge Sauneron, of the French Institute of Archaeology in Cairo, who has long been occupied with the publication of the temple itself, decided to investigate these Christian sites, one of which had been brought to his attention by the local schoolmaster. My husband and I in our respective capacities as architect and archaeologist accompanied him and the other members of the Institute staff during the two seasons' work.

The Cairo season is coining to an end, at least as far as the Center is concerned. In a few days this office will be closed until September and I shall move to Alexandria to work at the Graeco-Roman Museum there for a month or so. The past eight and a half months seem to have gone by very quickly, but in retrospect they were rich and rewarding and full of pleasant interruptions which made the routine of research, office work, and field trips a rather varied experience. For one thing, we now have a group of Members, admittedly few in number, here in Cairo who are genuinely interested in the antiquity and art of the Nile Valley and there is hope that some day, in the not too distant future insha'allah, a permanent institution will serve American historians and archaeologists in this part of the Near East. There also was the never-ending stream of casual visitors who came from far away to ask advice as to the best way in which to get around in Egypt or to tell about their experiences. Among them we had a young American student from the Free University of Berlin who, without knowing any Arabic, traveled up and down the country for several weeks without encountering any difficulties or having trouble in finding a place to sleep. There were the Sunday excursions when peaceful temple ruins were swarming with children, and there were the quiet happy afternoons when this ,writer walked the length and breadth of northern Mitrahine with John Dimick in order to learn something about the topography of ancient Memphis from one who knew his levels and map coordinates. The group of Fulbright grantees is breaking up, and some of them have left already, and a few of our friends in the U.S. Information Service are being transferred or are going on home leave.
