RE: Canadian School in Rome

As you are probably aware, the Humanities
Research Council of Canada has been pressing
for the establishment of a Canadian School

in Rome, and last year, it set’ up a Steering
Committee, of which I was a member, that
brought in a report this spring. This report
has been summarized in the Bulletin of the
HRCC for January, and has been the basis for
further negotiations with the Dept. of
External Affairs and the Embassy in Italy.

The HRCC has now presented its case to the
Canadian Ambassador in. Italy and to the
Advisory Committee for the Canadian Cultural
Institute in Rome, and the Advisory Committee
discussed the question at length at its :
meeting of April 26th, 1977. The Committee
wished to be kept informed of any further
developments in planning for the School, but
requested the HRCC to demonstrate more fully
the need for such an establishment. In
particular, M. Fortier, the chairman of the
Advisory Committee has asked for:

a. statistics on how many Canadian
scholars do indeed go to Rome and
would use the academic services a
School might provide, and,

an inventory of facilities present-
ly available in Rome for Canadian
scholars.

The inventory (b) must be ange in Rome

itself, but the statistics (a) must be
compiled in Canada. Therefore, I am asking
interested western Canadian scholars to
provide me with answers for these questions:

1. How often have you gone to Rome
(or Italy) in the past ten yrs.
for a) research, or b) teaching
a course in connection with an
academic program for Canadian
students?

How useful would you have found a
Canadian School, if one had existed?
With what resources could a School
have provided you?

With thanks in advance,

Sincerely yours,

J.A.S. Evans
Professor of Classics
