MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
First, a word of welcome to all of you "plugged in" to the new
Classics-Canada discussion group (somewhere around 60 as of Sunday, 3
December 1995) and my thanks to Konrad Kinzl for setting it up. We can at
least now get accurate information about what's happening at our various
institutions and this may help us formulate strategy.
I have been keeping a watching brief on these events, and have taken a
number of initiatives (including approving the setting up of this list). As
you know, in recent years the APA has successfully defended a number of
smaller US departments threatened with closure. I have therefore contacted
Bob Kaster, next year's president, to inform him of the crisis departments
in Ontario are likely to face, and he has agreed to offer whatever help he
and the association can to any threatened department. Further, Willie
Elliot, recently retired as President of the University of Prince Edward
Island, has agreed to use whatever influence he has on behalf of
departments in difficulty. Whether such interventions will be effective is
to be seen, but I felt they would certainly do no harm. You will remember
that the intervention of the CAC played some role in resolving the problems
at Concordia a few years back. And please let me know if there is anything
more that you think I, as president of CAC, should be doing.
The e-mail discussion group represents an effort to reduce as much as
possible rumour and misinformation, and to generate ideas and strategies.
Those who are "wired in" to it include Classicists from every province of
the country, not just Ontario, because budget reductions are by no means
confined to this province (and the CAC is national Association). I urge you
(even if you are, as I am, normally staying away from lists) to subscribe
to this group; *and I would particularly strongly urge chairs to join.* We
can thus at least get accurate information on what's happening across the
country, and on the basis of shared information perhaps develop some ideas
for coping with crises which many departments are going to face.
To subscribe to Classics-Canada, send an e-mail message (with nothing in
the cc: and subject: lines) and one line of text:
subscribe classics-canada first name last name
to mailserv@trentu.ca (*not to the list!). You will then receive
confirmation of your subscription and a welcome page from the list which
includes further instructions. If you have questions or difficulties in
subscribing, send a message to Konrad Kinzl (kkinzl@trentu.ca).
John C. Yardley,
President, CAC,
3 December 1995
--------------------------
Editor's PS:
To date there are about 80 subscribers to the list (*CCB/BCEA* is
distributed to over 300 subscribers). Discussion has been lively and
mostly very focussed. If I have a "complaint" it is that I do not see many
chairs of departments at least "lurking", if not contributing; this is
both healthy but also may deprive us of some valuable information. I
therefore urge colleagues, and especially chairs, to become subscribers and
perhaps contributors. On the other hand, the views of our colleagues who
represent the future of the profession and who may be forced by present
circumstances into teaching part time or on sessional contracts would be
equally valuable and I would urge them to subscribe and contribute their
views.
I have established a WWW presence for Classics-Canada, at the CAC's Web
site (http://137.122.12.15/Docs/Societies/ClassAC/Classic.Assoc.html),
where you can read the "Welcome Page" of the list and retrieve the record
of the discussion (1995 11 29 - 12 09, so far).

The CANADIAN ACADEMIC INSTITUTE IN ATHENS is very happy to announce that
plans are now well advanced for a "Grand Opening" of its apartment /
offices in Athens to be held on January 31, 1996 at Odos Dion. Aiginetou 7,
near the Hilton Hotel.
Renovations to this apartment facility, purchased and given to CAIA by an
extraordinary gift from Mr. and Mrs. Constantine Constantinidis and the
Friends of CAIA, had come to a halt during the summer through lack of funds
and a change of personnel in Athens. Now, however, we have persevered and
been able to complete work on the hostel room with bath, the kitchen area
and the offices of the Director and Assistant.
The Acting Director in Athens this year is Dr. David Jordan, known to many
as the recent Director of the Gennadeion Library of the American School of
Classical Studies. We were very fortunate to obtain Dr. Jordan's services
for this largely "volunteer" position. He has done an excellent job in
putting the Athens operations in good working order, and in particular in
finding a new Assistant to the Director, Ms. Katherine Alexander, a
long-time resident in Athens originally from Winnipeg. Ms. Melanie Zahab
from the University of British Columbia is this year's Homer and Dorothy
Thompson Fellow at CAIA. She is currently living in the hostel and is
working on a Greek pottery project at the Athenian Agora as well as
contributing a few hours per week to the running of the CAIA
office.
For more information about CAIA including a copy of the first issue of the
"Bulletin of the Canadian Academic Institute in Athens", please write to
Prof. Sheila Campbell, Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 59
Queen's Park Cres., Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2C4. Your interest and support is
most welcome.

BIBLIOTHECA CLASSICA, ST. PETERSBURG
Although there are three major libraries in St. Petersburg--the Library of
the Academy of Sciences, the National Library, and the University
Library--there remain here substantial deficiencies in the literature on
classical antiquity, especially from the last eight decades. Aside from
these shortcomings, the classical community of St. Petersburg is in want of
reading rooms with open stacks, the only means to give classical scholars

an easy access to the substantial literature in their field.
Thanks to the founding of the New Europe Prize for 1993, administered by
six renowned academic centers in the United States and Western Europe,
there has been founded in St. Petersburg the independent Society for
Promoting the Study of Antiquity, or *Bilbliotheca Classica*. Its goals
include the foundation and maintenance of an appropriate reference library
for classicists and the publication of two classical journals: a
scholarly-oriented *Hyperboreus*, a biannual, and a
humanistically-oriented *Ancient World and Us*, an annual publication.
Premises have been provided for our provisional period of gathering the
collection by the Classical High School of St. Petersburg, whose goals
are quite close to those of our *Bibiotheca Classica*.
Our *Bibliotheca Classica* has already received some important gifts. The
*Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft* has given us many volumes of I. Mueller's
*Handbuch der Altertumswissenschaft*. The *Institut fuer Klassische
Philologie* of Bern has sent us a considerable number of their duplicates.
And the *Fondation Hardt* offered most of the volumes of its *Entretiens*.
There are also other donations of books from institutions and private
scholars. The American Philological Association granted us the CD-ROM of
the *TLG* together with some dozens of recent books and a set of Gnomon
since 1980. The Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton gives us a
complete *RE*. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France has prmised the
Bude-series as a whole. Important for the quick growth of our collection
(more than 3,000 volumes) were the libraries of two deceased scholars: J.
Borovskij (St. Petersburg) and Jan Gonda (Utrecht).
*Bibliotheca Classica* of St. Petersburg especially requires the following
works: Lexica (a second copy of LSJ and Lampe; *LOD*, *OCD*);
encylcopaedias. General and partial bibliographies, indices and registers.
Scholarly reviews (esp. *CQ* and *CR*). Texts of authors in series such as
Bibl. Ox. and Loeb as well as editions with commentary; collections of
fragments, inscriptions and papyri. Modern equipment, esp. electronic.
Daonations of books and periodicals will make a meaningful contribution to
the *Bibliotheca Classica*. Our young generation of classical scholars is
already thriving in the provident atmosphere of the Classial High School.
But if there is to be further development of classical education in Russia,
students and scholars must have access to appropriate materials.

Le creation d'une bibliotheque de reference etait ressentie depuis
longtemps comme une necessite par les philologues classiques
petersbourgeois. A Saint-Petersbourg, il y a, a vrai dire, trois grandes
bibliotheques, mais avec des lacunes considerables, surtout dans la
production du XXe siecle; par ailleurs, l'impossibilite d'acceder
directement aux livres entrave beaucoup le metier du philologue.
C'est desormais chose faite, grace a l'aide materielle d'un fonds, le New
Europe-Prize 1993, alloue par trois instituts americains et trois
instituts europeens de recherche scientifique. Un petit centre d'etude et
de recherche sur l'Antiquite, l'"Antitchnij Kabinet" - ou *"Bilbliotheca
Classica"* - s'est ouvert a Saint-Petersbourg dans les locaux du notre
Premier Gymnase Classique.
La bibliotheque de reference, destinee a faciliter les recherches rapides
des philologues, a deja recu les dons - ou les promesses de dons -
suivants: Handbuch der Klassischen Altertumswissenschaft partiellement de
la part de Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft; une importante serie de livres
legues par l'Institut de philologie classique de l'Universite de Berne, qui
les avait en double exemplaires; les *Entretiens* de la Fondation Hardt;
plusieurs volumes de Teubner (Stuttgart-Leipzig); *RE* de la part de IAS
(Princeton, N.J.) etc.; Collection G. Bude est fournie par le Ministere
des Affaires Etrangeres de la France et Maison des Belles-Lettres; par
ailleurs, de Californie nous est parvenue recemment la disquette du
*Thesaurus Linguae Graecae*.
Pour remplir son role, la *Bibliotheca Classica* a besoin encore des
instruments de travail suivants: dictionaires fondamentaux des langues
classiques (surtout Estiennes, Bailly) et modernes (Littre);
bibliographies (APh, Bulletin epigraphique de L. Robert et ses
continuateurs); encyclopedies et manuals concernant l'Antiquite classique
et ses branches auxiliaires (*DAGR*; *LIMC*); textes des auteurs grecs et
latins dans les editions commentees (Sources Chretiennes p. ex.); materiel
technique pour l'utilisation des disquettes ou pour l'edition des
revues.
D'autre part, la *Bibliotheca Classica* edite deux revues: l'une,
*Hyperboreus*, est strictement scientifique; l'autre, "Le monde ancien et
nous*, plus litteraire et humaniste. Cette 'monnaie d'echange' devrait
contribuer egalement a l'enrichissement de la bibliotheque.
La creation de la *Bibliotheca Classica* permet d'esperer que les jeunes
chercheurs petersbourgeois, decus par la commercialisation inattendue de la
science venant directement apres l'oppression ideologique des dernieres
decennies, renonceront aller chercher ailleurs de meilleures conditions de
travail et sauveront ainsi ce centre culturel et scientifique de la
degradation complete.

Prof.Jacques Heurgon passed away on October 27th. Born 1903 in Paris,
educated at Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris) and Ecole Francaise de Rome,
he was professor for Roman History at the Sorbonne from 1953 to 1971.
Prof.Heurgon was one of the leading French etruscologists (Pyrgi) and a
specialist of earliest Rome. His interest for religion ('ver sacrum') and a
close combination of texts (Livy) and archaeology made him a highly
appreciated scholar. He was a member of Academie des Inscriptions et Belles

*Prosopographia Attica*: PA had 15,588 entries, was limited to the
pre-Augustan period, and contained only bona fide Athenian citizens, while
*Persons of Ancient Athens*, with more than 100,000 entries, includes
Athenian citizens at home and abroad, slaves, resident aliens, and
foreigners honored at Athens -- all the known men and women of Athens from
the beginning of alphabetic writing to the Byzantine period. Based on the
Meritt card-file at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, *PAA*
also includes full references with texts to document each biographical
fact.
Each of the first nineteen volumes contains between 5,000 and 8,000
records; the twentieth is a full series of indexes. One or two volumes will
be published each year.
So far, 4 volumes of *Persons of Ancient Athens* have been published:
Volume 1: A- to Alexandros. xxvi, 339 pp, quarto cloth. 1994. ISBN
0-9692686-2-9. Volume 2: Alexarchos to Aponios. xviii, 463 pp, quarto
cloth. 1994. ISBN 0-9692686-3-7. Volume 3: Ar- to Aulon. xviii, 518 pp,
quarto cloth. 1995. ISBN 0-9692686-4-5. Volume 4: Auxanon to Gypsinis.
xviii, 320 pp, quarto cloth. 1995. ISBN 0-9692686-5-3 (with Supplement to
Volumes 1-3).
