The medieval philosophy search will be getting underway this term, with visits and talks by the shortlisted candidates. I hope as many people as possible will participate in these visits by attending the applicants' talks and providing comments to the search committee. It is particularly important for younger faculty and graduate students to voice their opinions. I would like to remind everyone about the present campaign for student aid which ends on March 31st. This is a marvellous opportunity to fund our students, and I hope as many people as possible will take advantage of it.
All donations are tax-deductible.
Index Faculty Note Ian Hacking has been awarded a Visiting Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford in 1997-98. Index Visitor Professor Govert A. den Hartogh of the University of Amsterdam will be here until the end of March. He will be giving a talk to the Joint Centre for Bioethics in March and, we hope, another talk in the Department. Hartogh's interests were described in the September Newsletter, and further details can be obtained from the Department's Front Desk.
