The need of providing for the training of students is even greater in Egypt than it
is in Greece and Italy; and the relation of England to Egypt at present makes it the
more suitable that support should be given to a British School in that land. This body is
the only such agency, and is also the basis of the excavations of Prof. Flinders Petrie, who
has had many students associated with his work in past years. The great enterprise of the
excavation of the temples and city of Memphis, which is continued year by year, promises the
most valuable results. The opportunity is now granted of also excavating the great temple
of Heliopolis,which is of the first importance historically. These labours will necessarily
be far more costly than any other work in Egypt, and they cannot be suitably carried out
without increasing the present income of the School. Active support is required to ensure
the continuance of such work, which depends entirely on personal contributions, and each
subscriber receives the annual volume. The antiquities not retained by the Egyptian
Government are presented to Public Museums, after the Annual Exhibition, in June and
July, at University College. The accounts are audited by a Chartered Accountant, and
published in the Annual Report. Treasurer : H. Sefton-Jones.
