One of the concerns, or rather opportunities, addressed by presidents and others in the APA over the past few years has been our relations with sister societies in other countries. As I indicated in my previous column, I have organized for the next APA meeting a presidential panel on "Classics in the Americas," which will include speakers from several universities well south of Dallas, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Cuba.

Following in the footsteps of Helene Foley, I recently attended the conference of the Classical Association, which was held this year in Liverpool on April 8-11. The plan is for the president of the APA to organize a panel each year at the CA conference, while the CA does likewise at our annual meeting.

The CA has undergone radical changes over the past decade, and the results are exciting. Before, its membership had been dwindling in numbers and increasingly elderly; meetings took the form of a half dozen plenary addresses by distinguished persons, with little active involvement on the part of younger scholars. All that is different now. At the Liverpool meeting, there were five parallel paper sessions, with four or more talks at each; as a result, a lot more people presented their work. What is more, it was predominantly younger scholars who spoke and attended. The CA is a remarkably youthful association. It has taken the step of subsidizing attendance by graduate students and even undergraduates at its conferences, and now offers some forty-five subventions (they call them bursaries).

These grants do not cover travel, but help defray expenses for room and board at the conferences. Conferences are held on campuses (next year's will be at Bristol). Guests are lodged in the university residence halls, which one may describe as cozy, though they lack the luxury of a major hotel (bring your own shampoo). Everyone dines together in the refectory, which has the advantage of permitting conversation about the papers to continue over meals, and makes it easier to meet new people.

The effect of all this has been to augment membership and attendance at the annual meeting dramatically &endash; this year set a record with over 300 people present. But the character of the meetings has also changed. With a preponderance of younger scholars, it is they who give the event its
tone. They seemed to think of the Liverpool conference as theirs, and created an atmosphere of lively discussion and interaction. I found the experience refreshing -- even inspiring.

The CA's very success is causing some problems, particularly in regard to campus accommodations. It is getting too large for most university facilities, and may have to supplement the residence halls with hotel rooms as well. This does have its agreeable side, I may say.

The APA has, for its part, also has a program to help subsidize attendance by students, but circumstances in North America are so different from those in Britain that there is no possibility of copying the CA's approach. First, there is the matter of size: our annual meetings are ten times larger than theirs, and university accommodations are out of the question. In addition, our continent is vast, and travel costs are generally considerable. Finally, our conferences have some functions that differ from those of the CA, above all that of facilitating job interviews. In many ways, the CA conference reminded me rather of the annual meetings of our regional associations, such as CANE, CAAS, and CAMWS.

The APA panel at the CA this year was chaired by an ex-president of the APA, Bob Kaster, who happened to be on leave at Oxford this spring. It was a nice coincidence, since it was during Bob's presidency that conversations began with Christopher Rowe over initiating exchanges between the CA and the APA. The topic of our panel was "Greek Passions." Two speakers were from Britain -- Gillian Clark, of the University of Liverpoool, who was also the local organizer of the conference, and Douglas Cairns, of the University of Leeds -- and two from the United States: Elizabeth Belfiore, of the University of Minnesota, and myself. This arrangement worked fine, but there are no rules stipulating equal representation.

On the practical side, we hope to encourage cross membership in the two societies by making available on the subscription forms of each a box in which one can tick off one's wish to join the other. The CA, in particular, is a real deal: it costs five pounds to enroll, and membership brings a very substantial discount for subscriptions to Greece & Rome, Classical Quarterly, and Classical Review. Members of the APA should contemplate attending CA conferences, and indeed offering a talk; several did so this year on one or another panel. It is an excellent opportunity for graduate students in particular. For my own part, I certainly hope to attend future meetings.

Great Britain is at this moment, I was told, experiencing a profound transformation in its system of pedagogy which will greatly affect the teaching of classics. Perhaps at some future panel, whether under the auspices of the CA or the APA, the subject can be raised and discussed in the light of experience in North America (and South America). There is everything to be gained from these contacts and exchanges. In behalf of the APA, I should like to express my gratitude to Christopher Rowe and his colleagues in Britain, and to our own past presidents, who have done so much to promote them.

David Konstan

For a brief tenure, only brief words are necessary, and those mainly of thanks. First thanks, both my own and those of the Association, must go to New York University, which has provided us over the past two years with space and support services here on their campus, not to mention the rich intellectual climate of our surroundings. Three individuals at NYU deserve special mention: Matthew Santirocco, Dean of Arts and Sciences, who made the whole enterprise possible; Joseph Juliano, Executive Director of Administration for Arts and Sciences; and Ingalisa Schrobsdorff, Coordinator of Summer Programs , who attended to many details in setting up our offices, and who gave advice and assistance innumerable times. To these individuals and to NYU we offer our most sincere thanks.

On a more personal note, I thank the search committee of 1997, chaired by Susan Treggiari, for entrusting me with the job of Executive Director; William Ziobro, my immediate predecessor, for transitional help; and the Board of Directors, of the Association. I thank most warmly Harry Evans, Helene Foley, and Zeph Stewart, wise advisors all, who gave good advice and solid support when it was most needed.

I am grateful to my staff, Rachel Levine and Elizabeth Cannon, for their help and commitment to the mission of the Association. Elizabeth especially deserves thanks for her work in modernizing and improving the Placement Service, making it both more efficient and more humane.

Finally, I want to wish my successor, Dr. Adam D. Blistein, all the very best as he begins his term.

Editor’s Note: Due to a series of editing mistakes in the APA offices, the Placement Committee report that appeared in the April 1999 Newsletter contained several errors in the text and the tables. We have here reprinted the entire report with the tables. We apologize to the Committee.

The total number of candidates registered with the Placement Service for 1997-98 was 503 (61% male, 39% female), of whom 283 (64% male, 36% female), or 57%, were present to be interviewed in Chicago. The total number of candidates registered with the Placement Service for 1996-97, the previous year, was 540 (58% male, 42% female), of whom 342 (62% male, 38% female), or 63%, were present to be interviewed in New York. The number of candidates present to be interviewed (i.e. the most earnest job seekers) in 1997-98 was the lowest since 1990, and might be interpreted either as evidence of an improved market or of cutbacks in the size of graduate programs. Over the twelve-year period 1986-97, the male-female ratio has fluctuated between a maximum divergence of 64%/36% (1992 and 1997) and a minimum of 57%/43% (1994 and 1995). Historical perspective is given in Table 1.

The total number of institutions registered with the Placement Service for 1997-98 was 128, of whom 64 (50%) attended the Annual Meeting. The total number of institutions registered with the Placement Service for 1996-97 was 104, of whom 53 (51%) attended the annual meeting in New York. It should be recognized, however, that many institutions arrange interviews at the Annual Meeting on their own without using the Placement Service, and many of the institutions registered with the Placement Service during a given year do not advertise positions until after the Annual Meeting; a few institutions also register with the Placement Service, but never advertise a position.

In 1997-98 the Placement Service received 153 positions postings from 118 institutions: this number included 135 definite positions and 18 possible positions. A breakdown by rank is given in Table 2. The ratio of candidates to announced positions was 3.29:1. In 1996-97 the Placement Service received 144 positions postings from 97 institutions: this number included 123 definite positions and 21 possible positions. The ratio of candidates to announced positions was 3.75:1. These ratios are down from an all-time high of 4.55:1 in 1994-95 (4.1:1 in 1995-96) and provide evidence of a steadily improving job market for classicists, although one that is still not as good as in the late 1980s. Table 3 gives historical perspective since 1987. If one calculates the ratio based on the number of candidates who actually attended the Annual Meeting (the most serious job seekers), the 1997-98 ratio is even lower, 1.85:1. It must be recognized, however, that not all available positions, whether listed as definite or possible, are actually filled.

In 1997-98 there were 728 interviews scheduled in Chicago under the auspices of the Placement Service: 414 were had by male candidates and 314 by female candidates. The average number of interviews per candidate was 2.36 (for males, the average was 2.18; for females, 2.66). In 1996-97 there were 800 interviews scheduled at the Annual Meeting in New York under the auspices of the Placement Service; 451 were had by male candidates and 349 by female candidates. The average number of interviews per candidate was 2.34 (for males, 2.14; for females, 2.66). The evidence, which is almost exactly equal for both years, therefore suggests no aggregate discrimination against females in the granting of interviews. More detailed breakdowns of numbers of interviews per candidate and per institution are given in Tables 4 and 5. The actual average number of interviews per candidate may be somewhat higher than the figures noted above and in Table 4, since some institutions arrange their own interviews at the Annual Meeting without submitting lists to the Placement Service; these interviews are not reflected in our totals.

Table 6 shows the numbers of male and female candidates in various subfields of our discipline. Table 7 records average numbers of interviews for candidates in each subfield: candidates listing dissertation topics in literature and languages averaged 4.1 interviews, those listing history averaged 3.6, those listing philosophy averaged 1.5, those in art and archaeology 0.4. However, the numbers are in some cases small and could be skewed by the fact that some institutions interview independently of the Placement Service. Fields of specialty are unknown for candidates who did not list CVs in the Placment Book, nearly half the total. Those interested in a multi-year analysis of data concerning hiring rates in a range of different subfields are referred to the study of A. P. MacGregor, Ten Years of Classicists: Dissertations and Outcomes, 1988-1997 (Wauconda: Bolchazy-Carducci, 1998), especially pp. 88-90.

Table 8 breaks down candidates registered with the Placement Service and in attendance at the Annual Meeting by date of Ph.D., and thus affords an impression of how many long-term candidates may still be seeking positions: only 15% had Ph.D.s more than five years old, but approximately 33% had Ph.D.s more than three years old. Nearly half (47%) of the candidates at the Annual Meeting either had not yet received the doctorate or had received it within the last year. Again, data is available only for candidates who included CVs in the Placement Book; this limitation may exclude some older candidates who already have positions and did not wish to appear in the Placement Book. As Table 8 shows, the average number of interviews was highest for candidates who had received doctorates within the last year and lowest for those who had not yet received the doctorate or had received it more than three years ago.

As of May, 1998, the total number of “Filled Positions” known to the APA, out of the 153 positions advertised through the Placement Service in 1997-98, was 84 (46 male, 38 female). APA members filled 59, AIA members filled 5, joint members filled 9, and individuals not registered with the Placement Service filled 11. Female candidates filled 45% of the positions, compared to their presence as only 36% of the candidates at the Annual Meeting; male candidates filled 55% of the positions, compared to their presence as 64% of the candidates at the Annual Meeting. As with the average number of interviews, these figures suggest that females fare somewhat better than males in terms of hiring.

It must be noted, however, that these statistics are incomplete, since some institutions fail to report their final hiring decision to the Placement Service. Figures concerning numbers of interviews are also incomplete, since many institutions interview independently of the Placement Service and do not share their interview lists with us. The Placement Service is currently sending follow-up questionnaires to such institutions, and we urge all institutions to cooperate with our data-gathering efforts and thus help insure an accurate statistical profile of the job market. One of the principal reasons the Committee on Placement has decided to begin publishing this data in the Newsletter is to demonstrate the usefulness and importance of this information. Major graduate departments must have accurate data about the state of the job market to make long-term planning decisions concerning the size of their programs and their projected Ph.D. output. Present and future job candidates benefit from having accurate information about the competitiveness of various subfields within the discipline. Job candidates benefit from being able to compare their success in gaining interviews with others in their field or Ph.D.-cohort. More generally, the state of the job market is a thermometer of the health of the profession. We therefore all gain from having accurate numbers.

The Committee wishes to express its gratitude to the Placement Director, Elizabeth Cannon, for producing the tables on which this report is based. We also wish to thank the many institutions which have cooperated with our requests for interview lists or other information. We apologize to the membership for the lateness of this report, and expect to publish our report concerning the present placement year (1998-99) sometime next Fall.

Respectfully submitted,
Thomas K. Hubbard for the Committee on Placement

Report of the ACLS Delegate

The 1999 Annual Meeting of the American Council of Learned Societies was held at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel in Philadelphia, PA, from April 29 to May 1, 1999. Approximately 309 people attended, including members of the ACLS Board of Directors, Delegates of Constituent Societies, members of the Conference of Administrative Officers, representatives of Affiliate members, representatives of Associate members, ACLS Fellowship recipients, committee members, foundation representatives, and distinguished invited guests.

In the business session, the highlight of the President’s report was that annual giving by “Associates” (A group consisting primarily of colleges, universities, research libraries, et al.) has increased from $314,350 in 1997-8 to $705,875 in 1998-9 so far; individual gifts have increased from $10,975 given by 39 donors in 1998 to $103,985 given by 428 donors in 1999 so far. The main purpose of these funds is to raise the number and amount of ACLS Fellowships. Four Classicists are among this year’s beneficiaries: Shadi Bartsch (University of Chicago), Sarah Iles Johnston (Ohio State University), Nathan S. Rosenstein (Ohio State University) and Froma I. Zeitlin (Princeton University).

The President further spoke of the support needed and given to newly tenured faculty to secure the future of the Humanities, and reported on a series of four conversations held (or to be held) with selected groups of them. He announced that, as of 2000-1, annually ten fellowships, each carrying a stipend of $65,000 and tenable for three years, will be awarded to recently tenured scholars. These Fellowships will honor the name of Frederick Burckhardt, a distinguished past president of the ACLS. In short, the aims articulated in his inaugural statement last year, that the ACLS’ goal is to double the endowment devoted to fellowships; to double the funds awarded to scholars annually, and to increase the number of fellowships awarded modestly and fellowship stipends substantially, is well on its was to implementation.

The luncheon on Friday, April 30, was addressed, as it was last year, by William R. Ferris, Chairman of the NEH. His general remarks constituted a commitment on the part of the NEH for support of the power of ideas and of the judicious use of technology. He announced that both Senate and House are positively inclined to President Clinton’s advocacy of a budget of $50 million for the NEH for the year 2000. It was pleasant to hear NEH’s continued support for the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae singled out among the projects sponsored.

The Delegates’ meeting in the afternoon was first taken up by various announcements, including the establishment of a new ACLS website (www.acls.org), which promulgates the websites of constituent societies, and can be expanded to other sites that give access to research aids, bibliographies, etc. subsequently, the letter addressed to the ACLS by President Konstan and your Delegate about the conflict between the anti-sodomy legislation of Dallas, the venue of our next annual meeting, and the code of ethics adopted by the APA was read and sympathetically discussed. Its content will be communicated to the constituent members of the ACLS.

This was followed by a programmatic discussion on the theme: “Who owns Culture? The problems of intellectual property.” Talks by Thomas Trautham (University of Michigan) and Richard Ekman (Andrew W. Mellon Foundation) introduced the theme, for the discussion of which the Delegates were divided into three independent groups, whose results were then reported to and again discussed by the Delegates as one body. As was to be expected, various aspects of copyright were subjected to detailed scrutiny: purpose and range of copyright; problems introduced by electronic dissemination of ideas; public and private aspects of published materials, and so forth. The level of discussion was, by and large, on a fairly high level, but no concrete results were attained.

One of the high points of the conference was the traditional Charles Homer Haskins lecture on “A Life of Learning” which was this year given by Professor Clifford Geertz of the Institute for Advanced Study in the evening of April 30. In a most entertaining and illuminating talk, Professor Geertz described the rold accident and coincidence played in the formation of his career, which made him, after service in WW II, into one of the foremost and seminal anthropologists of our time. As usual, the lecture will be made available in the ACLS Occasional Paper series.

The Public Session, which closed the conference on Saturday morning (May 1), was one of the best I have ever attended as a Delegate to the ACLS. Unlike similar sessions in previous years, it did not deal with mundane matters, such as financing higher education or conveying information on what foundations can be approached to subvent what kind of scholarly enterprises, but with the relation between “The Humanities and the Sciences.” Billy Frye (Chancellor of Emory University) served as Moderator, and four superbly chosen speakers addressed themselves to various aspects of the subject. Jerome Freidman (Professor of Physics at MIT), Peter Galison (Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard), Susan Haack (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami), and James Gustafson (Emory University) spoke on differences in creativity involved in the sciences and in the humanities; the impact on language and literature on the part of scientific activities and discoveries at different periods; and various other philosophical isues. No summary here can do justice to the issues covered; all of the talks and the comments, questions and answers, will be published as an “ACLS Occasional Paper” this summer.

At next year’s meeting, which is due to be held in Washington, DC, May 4-6, 2000, a new Delegate will represent the APA. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors and the members of our Association for having given me the opportunity to serve it for the past four years as its Delegate to the ACLS. It was a rich experience, which made me realize how effectively the ACLS represents our professional interests before the general public and before agencies of the U.S. government, and how essential it is that we help the ACLS identify the vital place of these interests in the education of the next generation.

Respectfully submitted,
Martin Ostwald

The APA considers it a matter of high priority to maintain and enforce standards of ethical conduct in the profession. To that end a Statement on Professional Ethics was adopted in 1989, and a Committee on Professional Matters was created in 1991.

The Committee on Professional Matters both promulgates ethical standards in general and contributes to the resolution of specific disputes within the Association or outside it. The Committee considers informal requests for mediation or assistance and adjudicates official grievances brought to its attention by members of the Association.
The Committee regards it a central responsibility to address any instances of perceived ethical violations related to professional activity in areas such as working conditions, teaching duties, research, and publication. Aggrieved parties are encouraged to bring matters to the attention of the Vice-President for Professional Matters. The Committee welcomes inquiries and requests for assistance. All Cases are Treated in Strict Confidence.

Procedures for formal grievances may be found on the APA website. Formal complaints should be addressed to Professor Erich S. Gruen, APA Vice-President for Professional Matters, Department of Classics, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720. Requests for advice or mediation may be addressed to Professor Gruen at gruene@socrates.berkeley.edu. via email to: Sarah Culpepper Stroup at the University of California at Berkeley (scstroup@uclink4.berkeley.edu), under the subject heading, C-GSL: Name; Email Address; Institution Name and Address; Expected Date of Graduation; Scholarly/Research Interests (need not be limited to thesis); Any Additional (Brief) Specifications. All submissions will be acknowledged with a brief email response. We hope that all interested graduate students will join us.
