The Advanced Work in Latin and The Latin Seminary.
The following statement concerning the results of the Advanced Work in Latin and the Latin Seminary conducted by Professor Holmes, may be interesting to the University at large. Here the work of the comparative study of Persius and Juvenal was continued along the same lines pursued during the previous term. In addition to the regular work of interpretation required of every student, the following papers deserve special mention: a paper on "The Prologue to the Satires of Persius" by Miss Williams, published in the Latin Notes and already favorably known outside of University circles; a paper on "Persius's Despondence on Horace as Evidenced by his First Satire" by Miss Criss; a paper on "Names of Persons in Juvenal" by Miss Crawford; a paper on "Juvenal's Use of the Diminutive" by Miss Williams, published in the Latin Notes; a paper on "Literary References in Juvenal" by Miss Thompson; a paper on "The Bibliography of Juvenal" by Miss Williams; a paper on "The Individual Syntax of Persius" by Miss Davis. An Index Verborum Persianus undertaken by Professor Holmes and Mr. Fay is also awaiting a publisher.
This work of the Seminary has been supplemented by the usual amount of reading of
Latin authors, by exercises in turning English into Latin and Latin into English at hearing and by two courses of lectures on "Roman Satire" and "Linguistic Science." The results of the work of the Seminary have been gratifying to the director. The enrollment was 17. In addition to this work, the entire department is organized into a "Latin Society" meeting bi-weekly, carried on by the students themselves under direction. By this means the work of the entire department is coordinated. Six very commendable programs have been presented bearing on the work for the term. Under the patronage of the Latin Society, twelve issues of Latin Notes have already appeared containing some of the results of the work in Latin for the term. Several flattering commendations of this little publication have already been received from various parts of the country. The publication is more than self-supporting, the proceeds have so far amounted to more than double its cost. Its existence is assured, from a business point of view, for the next six months, and it is likely to be permanent. The net earnings are devoted to the D. H. Robinson Graduate Scholarship in Latin.
