To: Professor Richard Trainor, Principal, Kings College London
We would like to express our deep concerns over the projected dismemberment of the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies at Kings College London. Although we recognise the need for Kings to make savings, we fail to understand what long-term purpose is served by dismantling a department and allocating its members to two or more different units. Experience teaches that, when a subject area is dispersed around departments and faculties, it never gets priority and in the end loses its capacity and influence. It is only too likely that the university sector will experience further cuts and in such circumstances isolated specialities would be particularly vulnerable. The great strength of Kings has always been that it is the only university in the UK to offer a combined programme in Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, thereby emphasising the importance of continuity through the centuries.
The ideal of Hellenism in its broadest sense, for which Kings stands, is reflected in its Centre for Hellenic Studies and in the Koraes chair. As dismantling the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies would mean the end of a long and rich tradition, we urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to reconsider your plans.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

Β΄Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος.
Η Μάχη της Κρήτης είναι γνωστή σε όλους.Μετά την κατάληψη του νησιού από τους ναζί ωστόσο, άρχισαν τα αντίποινα.
Στις 2 Ιουνίου 1941, στο χωριό Κοντομαρί Χανίων, οι Γερμανοί εκτέλεσαν 23 (;) άνδρες, ως αντίποινα για τις εκτελέσεις και τη σφαγή πολλών Γερμανών αλεξιπτωτιστών, που είχαν πέσει μέσα στους θάμνους. Πτώματα Γερμανών είχαν εντοπιστεί κοντά στο χωριό. Οι Γερμανοί όρμησαν ...
