Hands-on understanding of the European past is a Scandinavian necessity.

Jeg skriver under af to grunde: Jeg har været lærer i de klassiske fag i en menneskealder, og jeg ved, at klassiske studier overalt er truet, fordi de ikke tilskrives nogen umiddelbar nytteværdi. Min anden begrundelse er, at min nærmeste familie er norsk, og det gør mig ked af det, at Norge fraskriver sig sin europæiske arv; de klassiske fag er så godt som ikke eksisterende i den norske skole (med få undtagelser), og hvis norske antikforskere mister et hjemsted i Athen, vil det også skade norsk antikforskning. Det vil være et stort tab. Jeg ved, Norge har mange ualmindeligt dygtige forskere i de klassiske fag, og de fortjener al den opbakning og påskønnelse, man kan give.

When I lived in Athens on research scholarships the Norwegian Institute was a staple for productive meetings between people from different countries. To dismantle this institution would be a huge blow to international relations and communication.

Dette instituttet både ER og sitter på en skattekiste av kunnskap.
At ingen hjemme blir målt på det arbeidet, betyr ikke at det ikke er viktig. Mens land som Romania får på plass sitt institutt, tenker land som Norge at vi ikke har bruk for det.
Vi må ikke miste muligheten til denne dybdekunnskapen som instituttet gir oss.

I think that culture is a mother to commerce, business, oil extraction, and resulting welfare. If we forget about it, the welfare will be uncultured and barbaric, a mere Kitsch existence will be ahead of us.

The NIA is a very important institution for supporting archaeological work in Greece, and for all the reasons stated in the petition. It would be terrible if it closed its doors!
