JUDITH ROSNER-SIEGEL
Quis desiderio sit pudor aut modus tam cari capitis?
Classical Studies at York University announces with great sadness the death
of Judith Rosner-Siegel on Sunday 7 May. She died peacefully after a
long and persistent battle against cancer and after completing the essays
and examinations which she insisted on bringing with her during her final
stay in hospital.
Judith Rosner arrived at the University of Toronto in 1974 with an
undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and an M.A. from the Graduate
Center of the City University of New York. Those who were fellow students
and her teachers will remember her determination to conquer ancient authors
and the challenges placed before the Ph.D. student in those legendary
days. This same dynamism stayed with her and continued to grow in every
phase and venue of her teaching and scholarship. She had spent four years
at the University of Texas before returning to Toronto. In Ontario,
Waterloo and Brock each saw her at work. But it was at York where she came
to be a giant among teaching staff in Classical Studies and in the Division
of Humanities. To say that her students adored her is an understatement.
The root of this adoration was her deep respect for each of her students
and their welfare both in her courses and in their undergraduate careers.
She was the first recipient of a teaching award in Humanities, an award now
fittingly named the Judith Rosner-Siegel Award. The courses that she
helped design are now basic courses both in Humanities and Classical
Studies. And the past many years have seen her and Sandy McKay
triumphantly at the helm of a flagship course in mythology.
Her published work, although modest, is known to many and notable both for
insight into her authors but most importantly for her reaching out beyond
the safe and sure to explore the edges of our discipline. Her papers at
the CAC and other occasions on Lucan, Homer, Ovid, magic and witches were
always challenging her audience to journey with her to the borders where
disciplines and cultures intersect.
All this energy seemed to fire rather than tire her in all her various
roles. As Academic Advisor in Vanier College here at York she was a key
orchestrator of College life, pushing students and fellows to levels of
collegiality that will be difficult to achieve again. And in a final burst
of heroic virtus she successfully challenged the Province on behalf of
cancer patients. She never asked for sick leave during her illness.
Instead she scheduled treatments and hospital stays during breaks or at the
end of the week. Her academic colleagues and her many friends shall not
see her equal.
She is survived by her husband and two young daughters to whom she was
devoted with the same energy that she displayed in the University. A
Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday 24 May in the Dining Hall of
Vanier College at 11:00 A.M. A scholarship fund in her name has been
established at Vanier College. Contributions may be made by cheque to York
University sent to: The Office of the Master, Vanier College, York
University, 4700 Keele Street, North York, Ontario, M3J 1P3.
She will be missed and she will be remembered.
Durum: sed levius fit patientia quicquid corrigere est nefas.

Subj: CAIA apartment purchase campaign
THE CANADIAN ACADEMIC INSTITUTE IN ATHENS
Progress Report on Fund-Raising
With little more than a month and a half left to raise the final $16,000
for our new quarters at 7 Aiginitou St. in Athens, the Canadian Academic
Institute has now received just over $2300 in donations or pledges from the
Classical community in Canada. This is a heartening start towards our goal,
and great thanks are owed to those who have responded to our urgent appeal.
This morning we received word from Prof. David Rupp, CAIA's director in
Athens this past year, that the North Aegean Petroleum Company (Canadian
owned) has made a donation of about 1 million drachmas ($6000) towards the
purchase of the new quarters and has contributed even more towards the
renovations presently being carried out on the suite to get it ready for
the Annual Meeting of the Institute on June 2. This still leaves us with a
little less than $8000 to raise. One anonymous donor has offered to match
the highest private donation received in the appeal, to a limit of $2000.
It would be nice to take advantage of this generosity. Please remember that
donations are tax deductible and may be sent to Prof. Sheila Campbell,
Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, 59 Queen's Park Cres., Toronto,
M5S 2C4.

The CENTER FOR HELLENIC STUDIES (Trustees for Harvard University)
invites applications for ten resident Junior Fellowships to be awarded for
the academic year 1996-97. With its 45,000-volume specialized library and
serene wooded campus in Washington, D.C., the Center offers an opportunity
for full-time research on a major project in Ancient Greek studies, in a
collegial, international environment. Prerequisites for a Fellowship are
the Ph.D. (or its equivalent) at the time of application and professional
competence in Ancient Greek studies as documented by published work. The
Center is designated for scholars in the earlier stages of their careers
(generally up to about ten years beyond the doctorate). The maximum stipend
is $18,000 U.S., plus some support for professional travel and research
expenses; in addition, fully-furnished housing on the Center's grounds is
provided without charge to Fellows and their families.
For 1996-97, on an experimental basis, the Center will consider
awarding half-year Fellowships to two applicants who are unable to apply
for the full academic year.
Applications include a detailed project description, samples of
previous publications, and up to three letters of recommendation.
Applications must be postmarked by October 16, 1995. Further information
and application forms are available from: Office of the Directors, Center
for Hellenic Studies, 3100 Whitehaven Street NW, Washington, DC 20008, USA.

*Scholia Reviews* is an electronic journal that aims to provide critical
reviews of publications in the field of ancient Greek and Roman art,
archaeology, history, literature and philosophy as soon as possible after
they appear. The Editor of *Scholia Reviews* also believes that reviews
should be as detailed, informative and comprehensive as possible. In order
to make it possible to provide reviews of this kind, reviews are published
over the international electronic network to registered subscribers.
Subscription to the electronic reviews is free and without restriction.
Once published, the reviews will be archived at the University of Natal,
Durban and the University of Pennsylvania, USA, from which they can be
retrieved by Gopher or FTP. Instructions on how to retrieve reviews
electronically are published annually along with a list of books received
in the annual hard-copy journal *Scholia*.
The Editor of the hard-copy journal *Scholia*, of which twenty per cent
(about forty pages) is devoted to reviews, reserves the right to publish
the full text of a review published electronically in *Scholia Reviews*.

INEXPENSIVE SEARCH PROGRAMME FOR THESAURUS LINGUAE GRAECAE AND PACKARD
HUMANITIES INSTITUTE CD-ROM DISKS FOR PC USERS
I have been using Musaios for several months on a PC (486 with 8 MB of
RAM). Although it cannot compete with the speed of the Ibycus for mere
searches, I found it quite satisfactory. It costs only USD 65.00 (not DEM
800.00 as the one from Halle announced in *Gnomon* 63 (1991) 670f.).
Because the programme has at this point no font of its own, it reproduces
many of the special symbols used in epigraphy and papyrology on the PHI 6
disk as numerical codes on your screen. For printing Greek (except again
from PHI 6), Dr. Peter Gentry's (55 Ambercroft Blvd., Scarborough ON M1W
2Z6; see below on FTP transfer) WinGreek is required (USD 35.00). Transfer
of the programme to your local machine by FTP is easy.
K.H. Kinzl
--------------------------
MUSAIOS 1.0c
Software for use with the TLG and PHI CD-ROM discs
by Darl J. Dumont and Randall M. Smith
Musaios is an entirely new program by the authors of Pharos for Microsoft
Windows 3.1, which provides the ability to display and search Greek and
Latin-alphabet texts from Thesaurus Linguae Graecae's new CD ROM D, and the
Packard Humanities Institute's CD ROMs 5 and 6. The current version is for
Windows only. The Macintosh version is currently under development.
The current release of the software, version 1.0c, offers the ability to
display several texts on the screen simultaneously, full support of the TLG
Word Index, including the ability to view directly all citations for each
word from within the index, and the ability to export text to other Windows
applications (e.g. Word for Windows) via the Windows Clipboard. There is a
basic word search capability, including limited Boolean capabilities.
Currently "and", "or", "and then", and "and not" operators between two
terms are supported as are single character wildcards ("?") and character
sets ("[ae]"). These capabilities will be elaborated in a subsequent
upgrade. There is also the ability to create a permanent list of favorite
authors for word searches.
Searching is done "in background" which means that a search can be started
then other work continued. As initial results come in, the locations that
have been found can be viewed without having to wait for the search to
complete. Any search may also be canceled instantly.
The program runs under Microsoft Windows 3.1x on PC-compatible computers.
Windows 3.1 or higher is required; the program will definitely not run
under Windows 3.0. Musaios also runs on Windows NT and the beta release
(Beta 2) of Windows 95. We intend in the future to take full advantage of
new Windows features added by Microsoft and others.
Minimum recommended hardware:
80386 or higher processor, with 2 MB of RAM (bare minimum--4 MB
recommended, 8MB is better yet).
3.5 inch floppy disk drive and Microsoft-compatible mouse.
At least 30 MB hard disk drive (absolute bare minimum--80 MB recommended,
200 MB is better yet).
VGA display capable of displaying at least 640 by 480 pixels in 16 colors.
(256 colors recommended).
CD ROM Drive with a minimum transfer rate of 150 K bytes per second.
Version 1.0c for Windows is fully released and is now being distributed. In
order to keep our costs low, the preferred method of distribution is
electronically, via FTP. The current registration fee is $65 US. Upon
receipt of the $65 registration fee, we will send you a registration number
by E-mail or surface mail. If you cannot obtain Musaios electronically, we
will send it on a disk, provided you request one when you send your check.
If requesting diskettes, there is a shipping and handling charge of $10
($21 outside of USA) to cover the cost of mailing the disk by Priority or
Express Mail. Please send checks (in U.S. funds), made payable to Darl J.
Dumont, to: Darl J. Dumont, 15237 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 20, Pacific
Palisades, California 90272. Alternatively, we can accept University
purchase orders and supply a pro-forma invoice, or we can accept funds by
direct wire transfer (please contact us at one of the following addresses
for details).
We may be reached electronically at:
rsmith1@cerf.net (Randall Smith)
ddumont1@cerf.net (Darl Dumont)
We may also be reached by FAX at:
310-454-4819
Electronic Distribution via FTP
To obtain a copy of Musaios electronically, FTP to "ftp.cerf.net". Use
"anonymous" as the login name and give your E-mail address as the password.
Change to the directory /pub/vendor/musaios by giving the command "cd
/pub/vendor/musaios". Be sure to set the transfer mode to binary by giving
the "binary" command. (Some systems may also require the command "tenex".)
Note that the transfer between your Internet machine and your PC (if they
are not the same) must also be a binary mode transfer or the file will be
corrupted. Type "get mus10b.exe" to obtain the file containing the Musaios
program and manual. We have arranged with the authors of WinGreek to
distribute their font package along with Musaios. If you do not already
have a copy of WinGreek you should also get the file "wgreek18.exe". Note
that WinGreek is not part of Musaios and you must register it with its
authors (not with us) within 30 days or erase it from your computer. To
install Musaios copy mus10c.exe to a floppy disk or a temporary directory
on your hard disk and execute it. This will cause the necessary
installation files to extract themselves. Then run the program
"setup.exe", which is a standard Windows setup program. If you obtained
WinGreek from us, install it the same way. If you obtained it from another
source, install it according to the instructions which came with it.
PS [by R. Smith]: If someone is aggressively pursuing Windows NT, Windows
95, or even Win32s on their system, we do have a test version of a 32-bit
version of Musaios available from our FTP site, and we would be interested
in having some advanced users give it a try to help us spot bugs,
compatibility problems, etc.
