Dear Rhea, I have checked the GL holdings and I found nothing on Neos Kosmos. I was expecting to find something since Gennadius has rich colllection of greek newspapers. I will do further reseach and I hope to have better results.

Its name was Neos Kosmos and its publisher was an MIT student (1891-96, class of 1899) named Constantine Dimitrios Phassoularides. (Apparently he had worked as a journalist in the Istanbul/Constantinople newspaper named Neologos.) MIT has registration records for those years, but there is no reference to a degree being awarded to him or to his newspaper. None of the Boston area libraries or historical societies has a copy of the newspaper. Can anyone help? Many thanks! Rhea -- Rhea K.
