[1] ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCEMENTS, etc.
From: IN%"Frances.Pownall@ualberta.ca" "F Pownall" 27-NOV-1998 18:16:39.24
Dear colleague,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the results of the 1997-98
CAC Undergraduate Essay Competition. This year, 17 essays were received
(all in English) on a wide range of topics, ten by women and seven by men.
Once again, I am a little concerned about regional representation, as no
essays were received from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, or the Maritimes.
The results are as follows:
First Prize: Debra Nousek (University of Alberta) for "An
Historiographical Study of the Trial of Cn. Calpurnius Piso in A.D. 20"
Second Prize: Sarah Dykstra (University of Victoria) for
"Offspring of the Moon: Orphism and 'Orphics' in the Classical Greek
World"
Third Prize: James Richards (University of Toronto) for "The
`Madness' of the Emperor Gaius Caligula"
In addition, the following essays were singled out for honourable
mention:
Paula Malone (Wilfred Laurier University) for "The Attalid Gauls:
Representations of Barbarians in Hellenistic Art"
Peter Tarrant (Memorial University) for "Major Literary
Representations of Cleopatra VII Throughout the Ages"
Lawrence Morey (University of Toronto) for "Gods and Monsters: The
Myth of Perseus and Medusa"
The essays (with no names or identifying markings attached) were
judged by John Fitch (University of Victoria) and Riemer Faber (University
of Waterloo), along with Aara Suksi (University of Alberta), who kindly
agreed at the last minute to act as final arbitrator.
One judge commented: "Congratulations are due to competitors and
their instructors for submitting a good group of 17 essays, all of which
were stimulating and worthwhile, and the best of which were written in a
clear and engaging academic style. Competitors are encouraged to
demonstrate awareness of the importance of primary sources, and to cite
ancient sources in proper format (e.g. Ov. /i/ Met. /i/ 11.146-56) rather
than by the page number of the modern source or translation. It is also
valuable to show an awareness of the pitfalls of relying on English
translations. Much attention is paid to competitors' critical judgement in
assessing the relative value and biasses of each ancient and modern
source."
Another judge commented: "Whereas all were solid undergraduate
papers, a few stood out for their command of the chosen subject, and for
their eloquence. The following observations may be noted. The better
essays commenced with a clear statement of thesis or scope of the
investigation. Forceful introductory paragraphs, stating both the
importance and appeal of the subject, helped to get the essays off to a
good start. Careful promotion of the argument, with sufficient evidence as
may be expected from undergraduate papers, served well. Other important
considerations for this juror were sufficient and proper use of both the
primary sources and modern critical literature (with little exception, in
English). A good writing style distinguished the better papers. Errors in
grammar and spelling did not go unnoticed. And the essays which ended with
a proper recapitulation of the argument and a powerful assessment of the
importance of the conclusions drawn stood out from those which lacked
structure."
Many thanks to the judges and to the instructors and students who
submitted essays to the contest, and congratulations to the winners.
As term draws to an end, I would like to remind CAC members to keep
in mind the 1998-99 contest while marking the current crop of undergraduate
essays. Essays can be on any aspect of the ancient world, and can be of
any length (within reason) and at any level, from junior survey courses to
senior seminars. Please be so kind as to draw the attention of your
colleagues and students to the contest; cash prizes will be awarded to the
winners, and the author of the winning essay will have the opportunity to
have it published electronically.
In order to allow the participation of students in summer courses,
the deadline for the receipt of the essays is August 15, 1999. Please send
essays (please provide a clean copy) to:
Frances Pownall, Department of History and Classics, 2-28 Tory, University
of Alberta, Edmonton AB T6G 2H4

--------------------
[2.2] FELLOWSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS
Oxford University Graduate Scholarships in Classics and Ancient History
(all figures in GBP)
We are delighted to announce that Oxford is for the first time this year
offering at least one University Graduate Scholarship in Classics and
Ancient History. An award or awards will be offered in March to the best
of a gathered field of overseas and EEC applicants (for entry in October
1999).
An overseas applicant, if successful, will receive an award which will
cover both university and college fees (i.e.6,489 + c. 1,600) and will
provide a maintenance allowance of 6,500; that to a successful EEC
applicant will cover maintenance only, since such applicants can seek fees
awards from the Arts and Humanities Research Board. (The University fee
for EEC students is lower, at 2,610.)
The award is open to those who are applying initially to do one year
courses (MSt.), two year courses (MPhil.), and the doctorate: if admitted
to read for the MSt. the winner of the award would be granted it for one
year, with the possibility of extension for up to three more if he or she
went on to the doctorate; to a candidate admitted to read for the M. Phil.
the award would be for two years, with the possibility of extension for up
to two more if he or she went on to the doctorate; to a candidate admitted
to read for the doctorate the award would be for one year, with the
possibility of extension for up to two more.
Since our aim is to maximise the number of talented non-British classicists
coming to Oxford, applicants for the studentship will be required also to
apply if eligible for an Overseas Research Studentship (to start this
process, please mention in your letter of application to the university
your wish to do so) and to provide evidence that they have applied for
other available scholarships from their home countries.
The award will probably be associated with a particular college to which
the successful candidate will be required to transfer. But this
arrangement has not been finalised and for the moment applicants should
name a college of their choice in the normal way.
There is no special application form for the scholarship; candidates should
apply to the university and signal on the application form their wish to be
considered for the university studentship. Application forms and
information are available from the Graduate Admissions Office, University
Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford OX1 2JD

From: IN%"georgem@mcmail.cis.McMaster.CA" "Michele George" 17-NOV-1998
DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS, McMASTER UNIVERSITY
PROFESSOR RONALD STROUD, Mellon Professor of Classical Studies, American
School of Classical Studies at Athens:
"Grain, Taxes, and the Market:
How to Make a Profit in the Athenian agora"
Wednesday, February 3, 1999, 8:00 p.m., Camelford Hall (rm. 226), Divinity
College, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario
Professor Stroud, who will be visiting McMaster University February 2-4
1999 as a Hooker Distinguished Visiting Scholar, will share with us the
puzzles and conclusions of his work on a tremendously well-preserved and
extensive inscription recently discovered in the Athenian Agora. This
remarkable document, carved in marble for public display in 374 B.C.,
offers an intimate glimpse into the competing interests of grain merchants
and tax authorities, and the interactions of supply, demand, and public
interest at the height of the Athenian democracy. In untangling of the
complexities of this unique text Professor Stroud has also identified a
new, previously unrecognized sanctuary in the heart of the Athenian Agora.
Please join us!

GEOPHYSICAL METHODS FOR ARCHAEOLOGY
ARCHAEOSURVEY (a private firm) has carried out for over fifteen years non
destructive geophysical surveys which employ the most modern and effective
methods (magnetic, resistivity and radar surveys) in archaeological
research.
Thanks to the above methods it is possible to detect the presence
underground of archaeological structures such as walls,foundations, floors,
roads, ditches,kilns, hearths, burials and tombs. Our methods make it
possible to draw an "archaeological map" of the underground. [..........]
