Assistance is also given to the Anglican Church and to the type of local charities and institutions which Dr. Crake supported during his lifetime.

Dr. John Ernest Alexander Crake was Professor of Classics at Mount Allison University from 1946 to 1976. Seven years before his death in 1983 he founded the Crake Institute which began a programme of support for projects which reflected his concern for the Humanities (particularly
Classics), scholarship, Mount Allison and the Anglican Church. The Crake Foundation continues and builds upon the work undertaken by the Institute. Dr. Crake was born in Toronto in 1911, and attended university there, Oxford and Johns (Photo from The Allisonian, 1972) Hopkins. He taught at Dartmouth College and at Trinity College

School before joining the Canadian Intelligence Corps, serving from 1942 until 1946. Following the war he joined the faculty of Mount Allison as Josiah Wood Professor of Classics and Head of the Classics Department, serving in this capacity for the next thirty years.

Dr. Crake taught Latin, Greek and Roman History, and served as a faculty member on the Board of Regents and as Secretary of Senate. He was a valued member and president of the Classical Association of Canada, and a member of the editorial committee of its journal, Phoenix. He was a faithful member of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Sackville, where he served for many years as Warden, Treasurer and Lay Reader.

1. The J.E.A. Crake Foundation provides funding for projects which enhance study, teaching and scholarship in the Humanities, which the Foundation understands to be the following: Canadian Studies, Classics, Drama, English, Fine Arts, History, Modern Languages, and Literatures, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Women's Studies.

2. Ongoing Foundation projects are administered through established University Committees or through collegial departmental processes. Exceptions are: XV (Sawdon Award), XVI (Internships) XVII (Teaching Award), which are administered by committees set up expressly for the purpose.

3. One-time grants (XVIII J.E.A. Crake Humanities Projects) are administered by the Dean of Arts who will inform holders of their administrative and fiscal responsibilities.
(See information sheet for XVIII J.E.A. Crake Humanities Project Funding).

3. Funding is for projects which clearly serve as enrichment and not for those projects which the Foundation understands to be the normal responsibility of the University.

4. Proposals should include a clear statement of the anticipated participation of, and benefit to, students, a description of the project, and a budget which includes information on grants applied for and/or received.

5. The Foundation does not contribute to endowment or other on-going funds.

6. Funding for faculty research and creative activity will be considered only in the context of the already established J.E.A. Crake Faculty Awards for Creative and/or Research Projects administered by the Senate Committee on Research and Creative Activity.

7. It is expected that funds will be spent in the fiscal year (University) in which they are received, unless otherwise noted. If there are funds remaining in accounts for on-going projects at May 1, the Foundation will provide only the amount needed to bring the total to the appropriate level.

8. There will be an annual report to the Foundation on each project and if it is evident that the terms and conditions have not been met, funding for that project or program will be reduced or withdrawn.
