PALL 2002 EDllOR: DR W C Y T. DE GWMMOND

So here we grow ag& Tbis y a r b e department wlll appoint three new faculty me-: a specidkt In Greek or htln p m , a new R o m archaedogia, and a senior heilenbt We owe this expansion to the depam~Ms continuing commitment to ewceuence in mcMq and in read. Our courses, at the gradu- ate and undergraduate levels, are hrsrh'ig at the seams, and h e whale of the faculty stays suitably busy. As 1 write &is, some of us are pre- to give lecrures KO the Sodety for Legal History, others to the southem section of CAMWS, and the rest are lookg forward to Pmf- Cairns' hth s m h r , which will. bring us Kart C d d c y and Glen Bowersock, just m name a couple of its prLlclpam. And thls L just a single weekend at PSU!

He asrmmed the challrrmnship af the department in the eighties, when it was in a slump, and ha& hts the faculty and the student

got bigger - and W. Leon was Instrumental fn our aquIsItfon of ihe Langford endowment, which has done w much for the depaameat, and be encour- aged everyme's ambidons. To celebrate M s m e r , the &depaament will host a major conference in the s@ng term on 'Mstotle and H o m e on Why Art P k m s m The particulars of the conference can k found on &e ckparmen~*s webslte.
