[0] Obituary Notice / Notice nécrologique

Dr. Robert J. Buck (1926–2012)

From: Jeremy Rossiter

Dr. Robert (Bob) J. Buck, emeritus professor of Classics at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, passed away peacefully on September 21st after a long illness. He was 86 years old. His passing marks the end of an era in Alberta Classics. He was one of the last of that now rare breed of 'universal' Classicists who felt equally at home reading Greek epic poetry as he did sorting Late Roman pottery. He was the only member of the Classics faculty who could claim, with pride, that he was born, raised, and schooled in Alberta. Nevertheless his career in Classics took him far and wide, with periods spent researching and teaching in Greece, Italy, and the United States.

After completing a BA degree at the University of Alberta in 1949, Bob went to the University of Kentucky to study for his MA and then to the University of Cincinnati for his PhD. While at Cincinnati he studied Greek Archaeology under Carl Blegen and worked with him on his excavations in Greece. It was there that he met, and later married, his wife Helen. After graduating from Cincinanati his first academic job was as an Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Kentucky. In 1960 he moved to the Department of Classics at the University of Alberta and remained there until his retirement in 1992. He served as Head, and then Chair, of the Department from 1964 until 1972 during which time the Department grew in strength from four to ten full-time faculty. His research interests were many, ranging from early Greek History to Late Roman law. During his career he produced two well received books on the history of Boeotia [A History of Boeotia (1979) and Boeotia and the Boeotian League, 432-371 BC (1993)] and countless articles on topics which included politics in Classical Athens and roads in Roman Lucania. He had a sharp intellect and an insatiable appetite for knowledge, which he applied to any Classical, or sometimes non-Classical, topic which caught his interest. More importantly he had a great gift for passing his learning and enthusiasm for Classics on to his students. He will be remembered by some as a humorous raconteur in the classroom, by others as a diligent supervisor of graduate research. For others (including myself) the fondest memories will always be of Bob's years as co-director, with Alastair Small, of the University of Alberta's excavations at San Giovanni di Ruoti in South Italy (1977 – 1984) where his constant bonhomie, his skillful diplomacy, and his terrifying driving became the stuff of legend.

Throughout his life Bob made many friends, not only in the academic world but in the community at large. He had a great love of Classical music and, in later years, a passion for ballroom dancing. He was a stalwart friend and a dependable colleague, a man of great integrity who always 'kept calm and carried on' in times of difficulty (and there were a few). He never hesitated to speak his mind and had a reputation as a writer of stinging letters when people or events challenged his sense of justice. For more than thirty years he championed the teaching of Classics at the University of Alberta and did an immense amount to ensure that Classics was recognized and valued as a key discipline within the Faculty of Arts. Bob is survived by his wife of 57 years, Helen, and by his two children, George (a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta) and Zoe (a musician with the Edmonton Symphony).

REPORT OF THE EQUITY COMMITTEE
BILAN DES ACTIVITÉS DU COMITÉ SUR L'ÉQUITÉ

De / From: Patrick Baker
(English version follows)

Comité des bourses de la SCEC 2011-2012

Le comité des bourses était composé cette année de C. Bolton (Concordia), G. Chamberland (Laurentian), I. Holmberg (trésorière, Victoria), K.Simonsen (MUN) et P. Baker (président, Laval). Avant de passer au détail des travaux de ce comité, je tiens ici à remercier chaleureusement tous ses membres et à préciser que K. Simonsen a bienveillamment accepté de remplacer à pied levé G. Thériault dont la tâche de directeur de département fut alourdie en raison des mouvements sociaux au Québec.

Bourse Desmond-Conacher

Le comité de sélection de la SCEC est heureux d’annoncer qu’après délibérations, le dossier de M. Paul McGilvery (Laurentian University) a été retenu pour la Bourse Desmond-Conacher. M. McGilvery a entrepris cet automne des études de maîtrise à Dalhousie University.

Le comité a reçu cette année 10 dossiers de candidature (un peu moins que l'an passé). Les membres se réjouissent néanmoins de l'intérêt constant que suscitent les études classiques dans tout le pays. Les 10 candidats se répartissent en 6 femmes et 4 hommes, 9 anglophones et 1 francophone. La répartition géographique des universités d’attache et des universités envisagées pour la maîtrise montre un certain désir de mobilité de la part des étudiants candidats : en effet, 6 sur 10 souhaitent, dans leur premier choix, changer de ville, voire de province.

Prix pour la meilleure communication par un membre étudiant de 2e ou 3e cycle au Congrès Annuel

Après avoir effectué une première sélection parmi les 13 communication soumises en version écrite, le comité de sélection a identifié trois finalistes dont les communications ont été entendues avec attention à l’occasion du Congrès annuel de 2012 à UWO (London). Les délibérations qui ont suivi ont permis de choisir la communication de M. Ruben Post, étudiant à la maîtrise à McGill University (Montréal), comme étant la meilleure communication offerte par un étudiant de 2e/3e cycle. La communication très stimulante de M. Post s’intitulait: « Demographics, Fortifications, and Territorial Integrity in 4th and 3rd c. BC Boiotia ».

Les 13 participants se répartissent en 9 femmes et 4 hommes. Un seul texte provient d’une étudiante francophone. Les 3 finalistes se répartissent en 1 femme et 2 hommes. La répartition géographique montre que la participation est davantage locale cette année : 9 des candidats sont inscrits dans des universités canadiennes

•  1 à l'U. de Calgary;
•  2 à l'U. de Western Ontario;
•  1 à l'U. McMaster
•  1 à l'U. de Toronto;
•  1 à l'U. York;
•  2 à l'U. McGill;
•  1 à l’Université Laval;

et 4 autres sont inscrits à l’étranger :

•  1 à l'U. de Buffalo, USA
•  1 à Penn State University, USA
•  2 à l'U. de Bristol, UK

Les informations fournies par les étudiants ne permettent cependant pas de savoir si ces derniers sont des Canadiens inscrits à l'étranger ou des étudiants étrangers; 7 sont des candidats au doctorat (PhD), 4 sont de niveau maîtrise (MA) et 2 n’ont pas fourni d’information à ce sujet.

Pour les membres du comité de sélection 2011-2012

Président de la SCÉC

CAC Awards Committee, 2011/12

The 2011/12 Awards Committee was composed of Catherine Bolton (Concordia), Guy Chamberland (Laurentian), Ingrid Holmberg (CAC Treasurer, UVic), Kathryn Simonsen (MUN), and Patrick Baker (President of the Committee, Laval). I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the committee members. I would like to add that K. Simonsen agreed to join the committee only weeks before the AGM to replace G. Thériault whose duties as department Chair were increased by the social upheaval in Quebec.

Desmond Conacher Scholarship

The Committee is pleased to report that Mr Paul McGilvery (Laurentian University) was awarded the Desmond Conacher Scholarship. Mr McGilvery has just started his M.A. studies in Classics at Dalhousie University.

There were 10 submissions, which is somewhat less than last year. Nevertheless, the Committee is pleased to see very promising students undertake graduate studies in our discipline.

There were 6 submissions by women and 4 by men; 9 were in English and 1 in French. The institutions selected by the candidates to pursue their studies at the graduate level indicate a willingness to move to a new city, or even to a new province.

Prize for the Best Paper by a Graduate Student member (MA or PhD) at the Annual Meeting

The Committee shortlisted three of the 19 papers submitted for consideration for this prize, all accepted for presentation at the CAC congress last May, at the University of Western Ontario in London. The members of the committee attended and evaluated the shortlisted papers. After deliberations, the Prize was awarded to Mr Ruben Post, an MA student at McGill University (Montreal). Mr Post’s engaging paper was entitled “Demographics, Fortifications, and Territorial Integrity in 4th and 3rd c. BC Boiotia”.

Of the 13 submissions, all in English except for one in French, 9 were written by women and 4 by men. Most of the candidates were registered in Canadian universities:

•  1 at the University of Calgary;
•  2 at the University of Western Ontario;
•  1 at McMaster University;
•  1 at the University of Toronto;
•  1 at York University;
•  2 at McGill University;
•  1 at Université Laval.

The 4 remaining candidates attend foreign institutions:

•  1 at the University of Buffalo, US
•  1 at Penn State University, US
•  2 at the University of Bristol, UK

However, since the Committee did not have any data about citizenship, it was not possible to determine whether these candidates were foreigners or Canadians studying abroad. 7 of them are PhD candidates and 4 are MA students; the remaining 2 candidates have not provided information in this regard.

For the Awards Committee,

Patrick Baker

President, CAC

CALL FOR PAPERS
PANEL SPONSORED BY THE INTERNATIONAL PLUTARCH SOCIETY
AT THE APA, JANUARY 2014

Following is the Call for Papers for a panel to be sponsored by the International Plutarch Society, organized by the North American Sections of the USA and Canada. The panel will be part of the annual meeting of the American Philological Association, January 2-5, 2014, in Chicago.

Representation and Self-Representation in Imperial Greek and Latin Dialogues

Sponsored by the International Plutarch Society. Organized by Jeffrey Beneker, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Noreen Humble, University of Calgary.

The dialogic form originated by Plato and other Socratic philosophers has long been the subject of scholarly study and debate. Questions have been posed about the intersection of the dialogues' literary form and their philosophical content, why the dialogue became the Socratics' preferred genre, and the realism of the dialogues' characters and settings. The genre, however, has a long tradition that crosses into Latin and extends well into the Imperial Era. Dialogues from the later part of the tradition have raised interesting questions of their own, and several recent studies have focused on developments in the genre that manifest themselves during the Imperial Era. These include broad studies, such as Goldhill (ed.), The End of Dialogue in Antiquity (2008), which takes a comparative look at the dialogue across Greek, Roman, Christian and Jewish cultures, and more narrow studies devoted to individual works, such as Klotz & Oikonomopoulou (eds.), The Philosopher's Banquet (2011), a collection of essays on Plutarch's Table Talk. Books such as these have helped to illuminate the great variety in the form, content, setting, and purpose of the Imperial dialogues. In this panel we aim to continue this investigation particularly in regard to the representation of individuals and the intersection of reality and fiction when it comes to the "guest lists" of literary dialogues.

The International Plutarch Society invites abstracts for papers that explore the representation of self and of others in Greek and Roman dialogues from the Imperial Era. Some preference may be given to papers that shed light on Plutarch's aims and methods, but our primary goal is to assemble a collection of papers that explore various aspects of representation in the dialogues of this period.

Questions addressed by the panel might include the following: How realistic are the portraits of the known characters who participate in these dialogic compositions (e.g. Plutarch's brother Timon in the Table Talk)? Are they meant to be realistic or are they simply vessels for the discussion at hand? If they are meant to be readily identifiable, how much of what is unstated about their character is meant to be understood as augmenting their presentation? To what extent are supposed historical figures, particularly philosophers, vehicles for an author's own agenda (e.g. Plotinus in St Augustine's Against the Academicians)? How far are we to separate author from character when an author appears as a character in his own dialogue? And how much does an ancient understanding of the role of Socrates in Plato's dialogues or of Cicero in his own dialogues affect the presentation of interlocutors in the later tradition?

Abstracts should be sent electronically, in MS Word format or PDF, to Jeffrey Beneker (jbeneker@wisc.edu). In preparing the abstract, please follow the formatting guidelines for individual abstracts that appear in the APA Program Guide, and plan for a paper that takes no more than 20 minutes to deliver. Abstracts will be judged anonymously. Membership in the International Plutarch Society is not required for participation in this panel. The deadline is February 1, 2013.

For more information about the annual meeting of the APA or the format of abstracts, please visit: www.apaclassics.org.
