Excerpt from Prolegomena to a Study of the Ethical Ideal of Plutarch and of the Greeks of the First Century A. D: A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Ph, D., At the University of Michigan Greece was utterly incapable of benefiting from the idea of pan-hellenism4 imposed from without, and the num erous beneficial acts of Hadrian, in the way of roads, aqueducts, temples, baths, when Athens was, perhaps, externally more splendid than ever before, did not improve her economic condition, neither increasing the resources of the land nor appreciably improving the condition of the in dustrial classes. In some cases, communities lacked the means to keep even the existing public works in repair. The land was only moderately fertile, agriculture was of limited extent, vine-culture was unimportant, and that of the olive, little less so, the marble quarries did not benefit the general population, nor were there any manufactures of significance.
