College Latin Course In English PDF Download

Excerpt from College Latin Course in English With the present volume we bring to its completion a series of four books, projected for the purpose of making accessible to English readers, in their own tongue, the treasures of Greek and Latin letters, as these treasures are disclosed to the average American student in the ordinary course of school and college education. The preparation of this series of books has happened to coincide in time with vivid public discussion, experiencing its irregularly periodic revival among us, of the question whether after all classical culture ought not to be regarded now as a thing that has had its day. The fact of such discussion, rife anew at just this moment, may well awaken in the present writers mind a somewhat serious consideration. Has he perhaps been doing work for the past rather than for the future.! Is modern interest in ancient classic literature doomed presently to be extinguished. What, as to this point, are the signs of the times? There is no disguising the fact that Greek and Latin are yielding some ground that once was theirs in the schools and the colleges. At Harvard, for example, it has been proposed that Greek shall no longer be made a study indispensable for admission to full standing in the classes.
