Congratulations to all winners and to the teachers who prepared them.
Special thanks go to those colleagues who generously agreed to set and
mark the test passages.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who answered
my appeal in January for funds to support the Sight Translation
Competitions. In particular, Dr. John Humphrey and the Department of
Greek, Latin and Ancient History of the University of Calgary have given a
very generous contribution which will ensure the next year of the Sights.

--------------------
[1.2] A SUGGESTION TO REDUCE SIZE OF E-MAIL MESSAGES:
I keep receiving, with increasing frequency, peculiar and quite
unnecessarily inflated kinds of e-mail messages. (1) There are e-mail
editors which automatically attach the message to which a reply is being
sent; this may ultimately take the grotesque shape of a one-line message
with several many-line and exponentially growing attachments (the third and
so on appearing several times over). (2) There are editors which attach an
HTML version of the message being sent which is obviously not only twice
but at least thrice as long, unless one needs to look at it with the help
of a graphics browser which is the rare exception.
May I suggest that e-mail users consider sending only those portions of
received messages back which they believe are absolutely essential to the
effectiveness of their reply, and disable functions which their e-mail
editor offers but which add nothing to the usefulness yet a great deal to
the size of the message?
I apologise for appearing to lecture.
KHK
PS: After I had penned this the same topic made its appearance on the UK
Classicists List, in very much the same terms, as those who subscribe to it
may have seen. Clearly this is a nuisance to many.
Here is one such plea:
Gideon Nisbet
Researcher: Oxyrhynchus Papyri Project
Faculty of Classics, Oxford
http://www.csad.ox.ac.uk/POxy/
[..........] don't post Word attachments to lists, newsgroups, whatever.
There are [..........] good reasons:
Sure, you may be a salaried pro with a nice networked Pentium on your desk,
but not everyone on this list has the same ideal setup. (Hell, _I'm_ a
salaried pro, and I handle all my email on a pesky terminal emulator.)
Not everyone has Word, not all those that do have a recent version, and
some (perhaps many) of us have clunky mainframe accounts with tiny inbox
allocations that a single Word attachment will clog right up. Any Word
attachments I receive get deleted sight unseen and pronto. This means I
miss out on stuff that looks as if it might be interesting, but otherwise
the nice Computing Services people will freeze my account for going over
budget.
Mind you, I have no idea how common this kind of tight situation is among
the followers of the Classicists list. But in the wider Usenet community
it's considered a tad thoughtless to post/email unsolicited files of this
kind. Or that's the impression I get.
--------------------
[1.3] E-MAIL DIRECTORY AGAIN
After two reminders that the e-mail-only directory will no longer be
updated and as many invitations to take it over from me, no reply was
received by me. The conclusion is that either there is no need for a
separate e-mail-only directory (contradicted by statistics which show the
old directory is still being consulted) or that no one is interested in
investing time ...
A SELF-HELP tip: in LYNX, by pressing l (letter ell), one obtains a
complete list of all links in a document. Thus EVERYONE CAN IN FACT CREATE
QUICKLY HER/IS OWN--admittedly not very impressive looking--E-MAIL-ONLY
DIRECTORY by calling up the main directory
(http://ivory.trentu.ca/www/cl/cacdir.html; now nearly completely updated)
and capturing the links (unfortunately, links back to the index and other
garbage will also be extracted but that is only a minor problem). (Needless
to say, this works for *every* HTML document with links. I am too ignorant
to know if a similar feature exists in the advanced graphics browsers.
Perhaps someone can illuminate me.)
KHK
[1.3] CLASSICAL STUDIES IN CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES ON-LINE
I can now regard the updating process as completed. A few departments have
not replied and have been removed (some after several reminders), notably
Bishop's, UC Cape Breton, Concordia, Guelph, Manitoba.
In order to keep this quasi-official, CAC Council endorsed, directory
useful, I would ask colleagues to make it a habit to report changes as they
occur, be they retirements, hirings, promotions, new web pages, etc.
The CAC will have to consider whether they wish to invest the time and cost
of producing a printed version of the directory, which I cannot.

Comments: cc: "Prof P.N. Love"
Colleagues and friends around the world will be shocked and saddened to
learn that Professor Henry Blumenthal died yesterday morning (23rd April).
Henry was at the University of Catania in Sicily to give some lectures on
his current work. He fell from a fifth floor window at about 7.45 am local
time. It is probable that he had suffered a stroke while leaning out.
There will be others who wish to convey their memories of a kind and
immensely learned man. Henry, along with other members of the Departments
of Philosophy and Greek here at Liverpool, helped maintain scholarly and
philosophical interest in the philosophers of Late Antiquity during a
period when this was unfashionable, and continued to produce valuable
studies during the recent growth in interest. A Variorum collection of his
papers was recently issued under the title *Soul and Intellect*. His most
recent book was *Aristotle and the NeoPlatonists in Late Antiquity*
(Duckworth). He was working on a critical edition of Plotinus' Enneads
4.3-5. I understand that the work is almost complete.

The Swedes' 50-year mission in Greece
By Ann Elder
TO CELEBRATE the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Swedish Institute
in Greece, the Swedish government is donating 250,000 crowns (10.3 million
drachmas) to renovate the organisation's guest-house in Kavala, used as a
retreat for Swedish scholars, artists and writers taking time off in
Greece.
Swedish Minister of Education Carl Tham announced the gift at the
opening of the anniversary celebrations held at the Greek Archaeological
Society's headquarters on Sunday evening. [.........................]
Establishment of the [Swedish Institute in Greece] was famously promoted by
the then crown-prince, later archaeologist, King of Sweden Gustavus
Adolphus VI, recalled Tham. Soon after the end of World War II, Gustavus
Adolphus summoned Swedish archaeologists to a meeting at the Stockholm
royal palace and formalities were completed by May 1946. Funds were secured
from private sources and the institute was officially launched in Athens at
a function in the Gennadius Library on May 10, 1948.
From its original premises in Voukourestiou St, the institute moved in 1976
to its present quarters, a fine neoclassical house in the Makriyianni area
completely renovated in the last couple of years. Board chairman Ingemar
Mundebo said the institute today enjoys state subsidies and also benefits
from private donations.
Swedish archaeological activity in Greece long predated the institute's
inauguration, the present director, Dr Berit Wells, told guests. The
centennial of the first Swedish archaeological expedition here was observed
four years ago. [.........................]
Fiftieth anniversary celebrations include a two-day conference on recent
archaeological research results from study of findings at "technocratic"
excavations of Helladic sites in the Argolid such as Asine, Dendra-Midea
and Berbati and a more recent survey led by Wells in the Berbati-Limnes
area, east of the Mycenae heartland. [.........................]
