33. I am a French-Canadian retired university professor and
dean of departmental affairs.
Yesterday afternoon while listening to a Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation radio program on Litterature,
I heard an English author quoting Lawrence Durrell
about litterary creation being "introspection conspiring
with art against loneliness".
Looking this quotation up on Google, the only reference
I found was in the third chapter of a thesis
available on your repository.
Here is the URL of this document:

34. From my modest perspective, it is living proof
of the usefulness of the iETD Repository and
the fascinating contribution organizations such
as yours bring to the indispensable
globalization of knowledge.
