DEPARTMENTAL NEWS
From: IN%"aab@unixg.ubc.ca" "Anthony Arthur Barrett" 10-JAN-1995
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
PLANS TO MERGE CLASSICS AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES
The following letter was sent to Department Heads. I am sending it out on
the Newsletter in case you did not see it.
The text of the letter was as follows:
"Dear Colleague,
"As you may already have heard, the Department of Classics at UBC
"will merge with the Department of Religious Studies, as of July 1, 1995.
"You may be interested to hear some of the details, and I would be grateful
"if you would circulate this letter in your Department.
"In Spring, 1994, the UBC Senate made a ruling that means, in
"effect, that with very few exceptions there will be no UBC Department with
"fewer than 15 faculty members. The possibility of a merger between our two
"Departments had, however, been considered long before this and we had
"already initiated discussions with Religious Studies, even before the
"Senate resolution was carried. As a consequence, we have been able to
"complete an agreement very quickly. We shall be renamed the Department of
"Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies. Classics will take 11
"original members into the new unit, Religious Studies 5.
"In recognition of her faith in the new Department the Dean has
"authorised three additional new appointments, one to [be] made by
"Classics, one by Religious Studies, one to be agreed jointly by both.
"Consequently we should start next July 1 with 19 members. In addition we
"have been given a slide librarian for our exclusive use. Negotiations are
"also being conducted with a private donor that could lead up to three
"positions in Near Eastern Studies. Change is always disconcerting, but the
"new arrangement will bring us clear academic advantages. Of the five
"current members of Religious Studies, one, Paul Burns, is a traditionally
"trained Classicist, who did his PhD on Vergil at Toronto, another was a
"classics undergraduate, whose field is the Phoenicians, and a third works
"on the New Testament. Conversely, a number of the Classics faculty have
"an interest in various aspects of religion in antiquity.
"We look upon this change as a promising development. Our offerings
"will be expanded as a result of the merger, and perhaps more importantly,
"we now feel that Classics as properly supported discipline has an assured
"future at UBC. It is the intention of both merging units to keep existing
"undergraduate and graduate programmes intact."

"CANADIAN ACADEMIC INSTITUTE IN ATHENS"
From: IN%"gschaus@mach1.wlu.ca" "gerald schaus F" 14-DEC-1994
I have just returned from Athens. What a stark contrast unfolded before
my eyes over the three days, Dec. 1-3, 1994. The American School of
Classical Studies hosted a brilliant international conference on Greek
vase painting which included such luminaries as Sir John Boardman of
Oxford, Erika Simon of Wuerzburg and Dietrich von Bothmer of New York's
Metropolitan Museum, and was held in the stately hall of the American
School's Gennadeion Library. At the same time, 3 blocks away, the entire
Canadian Academic Institute (CAIA) was being packed into used cardboard
boxes and sent to a dark warehouse for storage. It abandoned its spacious
apartment beside the Canadian Embassy and left it an empty shell.
There is, however, a sprightly creature called Hope trapped within those
used boxes searching for a means to emerge. The foremost reason for
optimism is a group in Athens called the Friends of CAIA. This group of
Greeks and Canadians who are long-term residents in Athens has been in
existence for about five years now. Through their hard efforts, wonderful
enthusiasm and amazing generosity, they are poised to purchase an apartment
(in the CAD 150-200,000 range [USD 110,00-175,00]) to be the new home of
CAIA. They are right now digging deep into their own pockets to find the
final CAD 30,000 [USD 22,000] or so. Canadians in Canada have contributed
very little so far to this effort. It seems to me time that Canada helps
its Friends.
It is very frustrating to CAIA's Board in Canada that we have been able
to promise only CAD 25,000 [USD 18,00] as operating funds in 1995 largely
through the generosity of a very small number of people. This money is
barely enough to move out of storage, pay for utilities, a salary for a
half-time Assistant Director and some miscellaneous expenses. Thank heavens
Prof. David Rupp of Brock Univ. has most kindly offered to act as Director
during his sabbatical year in Athens with little recompense. We truly don't
even have money to pay for a cleaner to come in.
The Friends of CAIA look at our poor budget and almost weep in
frustration at Canada's response. They know what CAIA has to offer
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA MEMBERSHIP:
The bulletin is meant primarily to represent a service
by the CAC to members of the CAC. If you are not at
present a member, you may wish to consider joining. The
regular annual membership (which includes *Phoenix* and
*Classical Views/Echos du monde classique*) is CAD 50
(sustaining CAD 60, life CAD 500, student or retired
CAD 20); contact:

potentially to Hellenic studies because they see the contributions of the
other foreign institutes in Athens. CAIA now has built up a good library,
it has scholarship money to offer (Homer and Dorothy Thompson
Fellowship), it has had a lecture and exhibition series in the past, it
is the main avenue for Canadian students and scholars to apply for study
permits in Greece, and most importantly, it acts as a kind of home for
Canadians who are visiting Greece.
In a twist on the Greek myth, there is a Canadian "Pandora" in Athens
which we might all help to create. First we must release Hope from the boxes.
I witnessed the affection for CAIA which its wonderful Friends expressed
while I was there. I can now only appeal on their behalf for support from
Canadian Classicists, the main beneficiaries of CAIA. A personal
membership is only $25.00; an institutional membership for your
university is $500. Donations are vitally important and all are tax
deductible since CAIA is registered as a charitable organization. We are
trying to establish an endowment for CAIA for its long-term health,
but we must also have annual operating funds to maintain a bare minimum
of services. It would be marvelous to have Classicists respond
sufficiently to this appeal to keep CAIA going, but probably too hopeful.
We must also find friends in the greater community. In this we need help
as well.
Donations should be sent to Prof. Sheila Campbell (President of CAIA) at the
Pontifical Institute, 59 Queen's Park Crescent, Toronto, M5S 2C4 or to me
at the Classics Department, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, N2L 3C5.
Pandora and Hope are there for us.
Good wishes,
Gerry Schaus, Treasurer
