In recognition of John Leyerle's outstanding
contributions and continuous service to the Committee on Centers
and Regional Associations (CARA), to the Medieval Academy,
and to the general conduct of medieval studies in North America,
CARA has established an annual prize in the amount of $1,000
to support the doctoral research of a Medieval Academy member
who needs to consult materials available in Toronto collections.
These include the University of Toronto's Robarts Library,
the collections of the Dictionary of Old English and the Records
of Early English Drama projects, and the library of the Pontifical
Institute of Mediaeval Studies.
The annual deadline for applications is 31
January for travel in the period between 1 May and 30
April of the following year. Graduate students of the University
of Toronto currently in residence are not eligible. The selection
committee will be composed of the Chair of CARA and medievalists
on the University of Toronto faculty.
Applications must include three items:
1) a proposal of not more than three pages
outlining the research project, including a statement that
specifically addresses the pertinence of material in Toronto
collections to the dissertation research;
