I am sure it will be of interest to many of you. I am happy to pass on any enquries about the fund to the relevant person(s). Sincerely, Dr Michael Fraser University of Oxford mike.fraser@oucs.ox.ac.uk -------------- The Don Fowler Memorial Fund On 15 October 1999, the world of classical scholarship lost one of its most exciting and colourful figures with the tragically early death, at the age of 46, of Don Fowler. It is to honour Don's memory, and to further his wide-ranging and interdisciplinary approach to classical scholarship and teaching, that his family, friends, colleagues, and students have instituted an annual lecture. Rather than suggesting that the lecture should be given within the range of subjects in which Don was interested, we have decided to entitle it 'New Approaches to Latin Literature'. Don would be the last person to want his legacy fossilised, and this year's new approach might not be so new in five years' time. Don himself constantly changed and grew intellectually and he would have wished that the subjects which he loved should also change and grow. In order to establish this lecture, support from a wide range of organisations and individuals is needed. Substantial funding will be required if the lecture is to have the stature and impact which Don deserves. It is intended to invite as lecturers not only professors of long standing, name and reputation, but young and rising scholars - the group that Don himself delighted to foster. Any surplus moneys would be applied primarily to the advancement of Latin studies within Oxford University and of Classics within Jesus College. Jesus College is very happy to provide the necessary administrative support for the appeal for this Memorial Fund. Anyone who would like to contribute to this endeavour should send a cheque made payable to Jesus College, Oxford, to the Estates Bursar, Jesus College, Oxford OX1 3DW indicating that it is a contribution to the Don Fowler Memorial Fund. American donors may make tax-deductible donations via Americans for Oxford Inc. If you would like to give through that medium, the donation should be sent to Mr John R. Price, Chairman, Americans for Oxford, Inc., 198 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016 (with a copy to Susan Van Liew, Director - Finance & Administration, Oxford University Development (NA) Inc., 198 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Tel: 212 726 6408). Please indicate that the donation is for Jesus College Oxford - the Don Fowler Memorial Fund. .
