The lecturer for 1911- 1912 was Prof. Franz Cumont of
Brussels, recognised as the leading authority on Greek Astro-
logy and Mithraism. From 1892 until his resignation in 1910,
Prof. Cumont held the Chair of Roman Institutions at the
University of Ghent. Since 1899, he has been Curator of the
Royal Museums of Antiquities at Brussels. Prof. Cumont's great
work on the Mithra Cult was published in 1894- 1900, and is
the standard work on that subject. This was followed by a
smaller summary, Les Mystères de Mithra, of which an English
translation, under the title "Mysteries of Mithra," was pub-
lished in 1903. A series of lectures delivered at the Collège de
France on Les Religions Orientales dans le Paganisme Romain

1 This course was not published by the Committee, but will form part of Prof.
Jackson's volume on the Religion of Persia in the series of Handbooks on the
History of Religions, edited by Prof. Morris Jastrow, Jr., and published by
Messrs. Ginn & Company of Boston. Prof. Jastrow's volume is, therefore, the
eighth in the series. Prof. De Groot's lectures have not yet been published, but will
appear in 1912. Prof. Cumont's volume is, therefore, the ninth in the series.
