HIS volume of studies is dedicated to Professor Gilbert
Norwood on the occasion of his seventieth birthday and his
retirement from the Directorship of Classical Studies in
University College, Toronto. His students, colleagues, and friends
desire through it to give some expression of their esteem and affection
for him as a distinguished scholar, a brilliant and challenging writer,
a memorable teacher, and an honoured colleague. ,
The book has been published by the Classical Association of
Canada and the University of Toronto Press as a Supplementary
Volume of The Phoenix, the Journal of the Classical Association of
Canada. We wish to thank the Humanities Research Council of
Canada and the Publications Fund of the University of Toronto Press
for grants towards the cost of publication, and the many friends of
Professor Norwood who made generous gifts. A list of their names
will be presented to him with the book. We thank also those scholars
who contributed essays, and regret that exigencies of space prevented
us from inviting a larger number who would have welcomed the oppor
tunity of honouring Professor Norwood. Our gratitude is due not
least to Professor George Brown, Editor of the University of Toronto
Press, and Miss Eleanor Harman, Assistant Manager of the Press, for
their helpful collaboration throughout the preparation of the volume.
