As of today, 12 March 1999, the Dartmouth Dante Project has
installed the new version of its database. The change
will be transparent to users, who will be able to
continue to consult the DDP just as they have since
it opened in October 1988. Access will continue to be
gratis. The changes are as follows:

(1) There are now some 14 newly-included
commentaries, bringing the total to 59;

(2) a number of typos have been cleaned up;

(3) stop-word lists have been greatly curtailed,
thus allowing searches on previously disallowed words.

In collaboration with others, we are working on a WWW
interface. Until this is perfected, the DDP is still
best accessed via Telnet. The address remains:

library.Dartmouth.EDU

(at the prompt type: connect dante)

All of us who have worked to make this project a reality
are pleased to see it move to a higher stage of usefulness.

Robert Hollander,
Director, DDP

NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT

Carnegie Corp. Announces a Revival of Its Vigorous Support for Higher Education
<http://www.philanthropy.com/premium/articles/v11/i10/10000101.htm>
<http://www.carnegie.org/>

Last week both the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Chronicle of
Philanthropy reported on the new program recently announced by the Carnegie
Corporation, which includes as a strong component building liberal-arts
curricula that integrate science and technology with the humanities and
social sciences. Although the primary higher-education focus will be on
teacher preparation, Gregorian's "No. 1 national issue," Carnegie's work in
the liberal arts will focus on breaking down barriers between the
humanities and sciences.

For Carnegie Program Guidelines, see

applications are considered on a year-round basis; response is within four
months of application.
