In addition to the resources of the Cornell libraries, the Classics Department offers a number of valuable research facilities to its graduate students. These include collections of slides, squeezes, casts, original coins, and the like. Additional computer facilities are made available by the College of Arts and Sciences. In cooperation with the Packard Humanities Institute, the department has undertaken a major project to convert published texts of Greek inscriptions to electronic form. The aim of the project for the Computerization of Greek Inscriptions is to allow scholars throughout the world to study these documents more thoroughly.
Graduate students are welcome to participate.
The incumbent delivers a series of seven public lectures and offers a course intended primarily for graduate students. David Sedley will be Townsend Lecturer in Fall 2001. The Townsend Fund enables the department to offer pre-doctoral fellowships and travel grants to graduate students. We encourage students to spend some time at other universities in North America and Europe in order to study with scholars whose work would complement and enrich their individual research interests.
