For a number of years, Dr. Free has conducted a tour to Palestine in the spring. This year he remained in the Holy Land in order to begin excavations of a site to be studied by the Oriental Institute of Research. VVhile heading the excavations, Dr. Free also taught at the University of jerusalem. VVhile archaeology deals mainly with cultures of the pre- historic past, anthropology is the study of historic and present-day inan, and his culture - especially of primitive tribes. An invaluable help for those preparing to work abroad, anthropology also aids the understanding of the relation of modern civilized man to his high-strung society.
