The Quarterly Review Vol 33 PDF Download

Excerpt from The American Catholic Quarterly Review, Vol. 33 Why write caelum, say saylumm, or (now that the Catholics at the universities are taking up the modern English pronunciation) keelumm, or seelumm, and sing chayloom? - The (London) Month, September, 1907. - while the devout German at your right pronounces it tsayloom, and the 'varsity man at your left, ky-loom? - Addendum. I should gladly see the day when, under the authority of scholars, and especially of those who bear rule In places of education, Improvement might be effected... in our solitary and barbarous methods of pronouncing both the Greek and Latin languages. - Gladstone. II. The Experiment. We think if this [the "original," or ancient "Roman"] system is fairly tried, It will meet with universal favor; and within another generation the original method may be used by all the Latinists of the world. - The Methodist Quarterly Review, October, 1883. It is now something like twenty years since the so-called Roman or quantitative pronunciation of Latin was first generally introduced into the schools and colleges of this country . . . and here I wish at the outset to declare frankly my conviction that the introduction of the Roman pronunciation was a fundamental blunder, and that its retention is likewise a serious mistake. - Professor C. E. Bennett (1906). III. The Solution. Their [sc., the Latin pupils at Mr. Hartlib's school] speech Is to be fashioned to a distinct and clear pronunciation, as near as possible to the Italian, especially in the vowels. - Milton. Frankly confessed in its very title, the purpose of this paper is to advocate the adoption of the Italian pronunciation of Latin in all our Catholic educational institutions, from the "high school grade" of certain parish schools up to and including our colleges and universities.
