Celebrating College Year in Athens
T
o celebrate its forty-fifth anniversary, College Year in Athens has published a commemoratve album, College Year in Athens: The First 45 Years, highlighting all aspects of CYA’s history and development. Conceived as a celebration of CYA’s 45th anniversary in 2007, the volume spans more than 200 pages of narrative, photographs, and reproductions of documents, mementos and other ephemera of historic importance to the school. According to CYA President Alexis Phylactopoulos, the inspiration to create such a unique and lasting testimonial was threefold: to honor the institution, to gratify and entertain CYA’s alumni, friends, supporters, and employees as well as to organize and catalog the organization’s historical papers. The role of researcher, documentarian and writer was offered to former Director of Studies Kimon Giocarinis, who had served CYA loyally for thirty years, from its early days of offices over the bakery on Deinocratous Street to its permanent home at Plateia Stadiou 5. As Phylactopoulos remarks in the preface, “Kimon had the institutional memory, knew most of the past and present players well, and had the time to dedicate to the project, having recently retired from his position as Director of Studies, which he had held with great distinction.” Dr. Giocarinis took on the task cheerfully and performed it with loving care,
despite the fact that the project, vastly more ambitious than originally anticipated, required more research, tracing and dating of documents, and time than the original deadline would allow. The final product, which came off the presses mid-summer, is a rich blend of interpretation, images and historical detail. The volume also showcases a collection of noteworthy early documents, most of which would otherwise remain unknown to the CYA community. The volume features reproductions of the first printed announcement that a program of Greek studies for English-speaking students would operate in Greece in 1962-63, as well as early program catalogs, incorporation papers, letters, and courses of instruction. These documents, in addition to a striking compilation of photographs from all stages of CYA’s development, are important pieces of history in their own right, but also serve to underscore the growth and change that the institution has experienced over the decades as well as the continuity in its mission and educational aims. Dr. Giocarinis’s narrative proceeds thematically rather than chronologically-with chapters on the program’s historical context, governance, administration, facilities, curriculum, faculty, students, study-travel, and morea scheme well-suited to the writer’s philosophical approach and style. Regarding the historical moment during which the program was launched, Giocarinis reminds us:
January/February 2010 I ODYSSEY
ow in its fourth successful year, the 2009 AHEPA/UIndy Journey to Greece was once again led by Dr. James Dimitriou. As in previous years, it is the result of a year long planning process in which Dr. Dimitriou worked closely with Dr. Peter Wilkins, JTG coordinator for the University of Indianapolis in Athens, to provide a full program including unique courses, activities, guest speakers and historical excursions. This year, students from 4 states and Canada, representing 37 universities, were offered the opportunity to take classes at the Athens Campus of the University of Indianapolis, with academic credits fully transferable to their local institutions. In addition, they were offered specially arranged visits to achaeological sites, museums and historical sites. Special speakers addressing our students included US Ambassador, Daniel V. Speckhard; The Archbishop of Athens; Dan Chronopoulos, the Development Director of the IOCC; the Exarch of the Patriarch of Jerusalem; Professor Alkis Raftis, the President of the Dora Stratou Theater and UNESCO director of dance; and a State Department foreign policy expert. This year’s Program, enriched by a generous grant from the National Hellenic Soci-
N
ety, was planned around the unique opportunity afforded to our students through the invitation from the Ecumenical Patriarch, given to AHEPA Supreme President Ike Gulas, to have the students visit him in Turkey. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the JTG planned a one-week excursion visiting historical sites culminating with the visit to His All Holiness Bartholomew I. The Success of the JTG In 4 years, the JTG has over 270 alumni from 52 universities representing 26 states and Canada. The continued success of the Program is evidenced in the number of returning students and relatives and friends of previ-
…The moment was propitious. The 1950s had been a period of reconstruction and recovery associated in Greek history with the name of Constantinos Karamanlis, Minister of Public Works in the earlier 1950s and head of government between 1955 and 1963. The ghastly ravages of World War II and of the Greek Civil War, which, like a tragic epilogue followed the liberation of Athens in 1944, had been repaired. Greece was experiencing an uplift, a period of economic and demographic growth, and rising prosperity. It was a creative period and one that fostered a hopeful view of things-a time when the country was reaching out as well as looking forward. And…as important was the fact that a series of events caused a great many people to take note of Greece, view it in a different way, and enter into a new relationship with it. His description of CYA’s earliest students’ voyage to Greece offers both a nostalgic reminder of “lost” modes of travel and insight into how advances in transportation altered students’ views of how much time they felt they should spend in Greece: …during the first few years of CYA’s life, the act itself of coming to Greece was a much “bigger deal,” a longer adventure or quest, than it is today. More often than not, students had to cross the Atlantic and the Mediterranean on an odyssey which took a week or more to accomplish. Stops for study in Greece that were…one semester in length were not as practical as they are today. But as CYA alums of those days would readily attest, such long voyages by sea to Greece had their advantages. Standing on the deck of the ship, the first intimation passengers had in those days that they were nearly at the end of their
ous Journey participants. Under the sponsorship of the AHEPA Educational Foundation (AEF), the Program continues to improve. This year, the AEF offered scholarships to students and assistance for two student resident advisors. In addition, AHEPA Canada and AHEPA Districts #5 and #12 offer full scholarships annually. Since 2007 Hellenext has generously sponsored a student intern for both sessions and many AHEPA chapters have also provided scholarship assistance for their students.

journey was a welcoming whiff of pine-scented air coming across the sea from the coast of Attica. Indeed, it would seem that the challenge of telling CYA’s story would be how to strike a balance between nostalgia for the past and an acknowledgment that institutional evolution and growth are an inevitable outcome of success. Anyone who has had the pleasure of conversing with Dr. Giocaranis will recognize his characteristic light touch and charm, here put to the task of explaining the difficulties surrounding CYA’s (still quite recent) troubling lack of permanent academic and administrative space: …blazing a new path as a program of studies in Greek civilization and Greece itself, (CYA) made its mark in the field, gathered academic laurels and counted hundreds and hundreds as alumni, before it could call a single classroom its own or set up a bookcase on floorspace that belonged to itself. In this respect it resembled more the Sorbonne in 12th century Paris than Harvard in the 18th! The enormous effort of gathering CYA’s historical papers, dating and ordering them, and then publishing them for the benefit of the CYA community is, ultimately, a fitting tribute to CYA’s first forty-five years of serving English speaking students in Greece. In the words of Alexis Phylactopoulos, the album “…tries to explain, to praise, to look at the positive mostly, turning its gaze away from the dark or unsuccessful moments which every organization has at some point or another. One can hardly blame the author for this. He was asked to write a narrative that would essentially relate a success story, for this is, after all, what CYA is.”
