The American-Hellenic Society is organized for the general purpose of
extending and encouraging among the citizens of the United States of
America an interest in the cultural and political relations between
the United States and Greece; and in particular to promote educational
relationships, including the establishment of exchange professorships
in the Universities of the United States and Greece, as a means to
diffuse knowledge of the literature and political institutions of the
United States throughout Greece, and to encourage in America the study
of the ancient and modern Hellenic language and literature; and further
to defend the just claims of Greece in particular and of Hellenism in
general.
