[1] ASSOCIATION AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL NEWS
--------------------
From: SAUL BASTOMSKY
Subject: Closure of Classics at Monash University
Dear colleagues,
It is with the deepest regret that I inform you that the University
authorities and the Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Monash University in
Melbourne, Australia have decided that no further students will be admitted
to study Latin, Ancient Greek or Classical History and Culture subjects at
the University from the beginning of 1999.
The decision was made ultimately on financial grounds because of Government
cuts. A total of some 55 of the 300 staff of the Arts Faculty will have to
leave by the end of 1998, but Classics is one of only two complete areas to
be closed.
The Dean of the Faculty, Professor Marian Quartly, had tried about
four-and-a-half years ago to close the Department. Because of local and
international pressure she was forced to halt that move. Yet colleagues
were dispirited and left, not to be replaced. That had created
difficulties and allowed her now more easily to wield the axe.
I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done, but should colleagues
wish to express their disgust at this move they could write to the
Vice-Chancellor and President of the University, Prof David Robinson
(David.Robinson@adm.monash.edu.au) or to the Dean of the Arts Faculty, Prof
Marian Quartly (Marian.Quartly@arts.monash.edu.au). Please send copies to
me.
The Department was founded in 1965 by Professor H.D. Rankin, (later
incumbent of the Chair at Southampton) and enjoyed in Australia (and
abroad) an enviable reputation until the attacks on it began. Sic
transit....
Saul Bastomsky, Head of Department, Classics & Archaeology, Monash
University, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia.

From the (printed) APA Newsletter 21.3 (June 1998) p. 1: "The APA hopes to
have a list serve for both the placement service and for the entire
membership with email addresses. The Classical Association of Canada
already puts out an excellent electronic newsletter."
--------------------
Directory "Classical Studies in Canadian Universities"
Updating was completed in May. A few changes have been made since then.
Detailed information on Departments or individuals who did not provide
updates has been removed, with only the university address left in the
directory.
May I plead again with colleagues to send notices of changes, appointments,
etc., to me on an ongoing basis, automatically, as it were, so as to keep
the directory as up-to-date as possible?
As I cannot continue to produce printed copies, members of the CAC / SCEC
(and others) interested in possessing a "hard copy" version of it have the
choice of printing it off themselves with their web browser, or persuading
the CAC / SCEC to undertake the task of producing a printed version.

From: Alan Bowman
Subject: Image enhancement - doctoral post
The following advert has been posted by the Engineering Dept for a joint
project run by Mike Brady and myself. The doctorate would have to be in
Engineering Science, not Classics, but we wonder whether there is not an
interested and qualified person with a classical background who might like
to apply. Anyone wanting to discuss this informally is invited to contact
me as soon as possible by email or phone (01865-276202). Alan Bowman

--------------------
From: IAN.WORTHINGTON
Subject: *EA* change of address
Dear All
This is to let you know that *Electronic Antiquity* from now on will be
published by the Department of Classics, Virginia Tech, USA. Indeed, it
will be published on the www, thereby allowing the use of Greek, graphics
etc., and thus improving its appearance greatly. Our thanks go to
Professor Terry Papillon for stepping in and saving the journal given the
total lack of interest in the journal by those in the department at
Tasmania, thereby showing how much they beguile themselves into thinking
they serve their dicipline actively.
Worthington himself is delighted to be moving to the professorship of Greek
history at the University of Missouri, and looks forward to being a member
of a team in a forward-looking and student-oriented department, and with an
enviable research reputation. His new email will be:
histiw@showme.missouri.edu
Thanks to all of you (about 800 in 26 countries subscribed, and several
hundred more who access the journal) for your support -- please inundate us
with more submissions and positions!
With best wishes, Ian Worthington

Subject: Platform Independent Perseus announcement
[TO READERS NOT INTERESTED IN THIS: THIS IS A LENGTHY DOCUMENT]
Announcing the beta 2 release of Platform Independent Perseus:
all information below may be found here:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Dev/PerseusTkb2.html
*****************************
Platform Independent Perseus 2
(Perseus Tk)
The current version is beta 2
This is the second beta release of Platform
Independent Perseus 2 and the first public beta release. Perseus Tk is
based on the Tcl/Tk package by John Ousterhout from Scriptics Corporation.
It runs on MacOS and on Win32 platforms (Windows95, Windows 98, and Windows
NT).
This release is feature-complete: all of the texts, catalogs, maps,
secondary sources, and searching tools should be in place. A big advantage
of Platform Independent Perseus (aside from being cross-platform) lies in
its ability to get its data from the Internet as easily as from a hard
drive or CD-ROM. This release is therefore data-less and gets all texts,
search results, etc. from the Perseus server. Once beta testing is
complete, the data will be published on CD-ROMs by Yale University Press.
We hope you will find this release useful and
interesting.
