| “We
do not by any means neglect the present, but realize that our main emphasis
must fall on the great traditions of art, thought, and literature which
have formed the minds and hearts of our predecessors, and which, interpreted
afresh in each generation, can bring us new understanding of ourselves
and the world we live in.” --Bernard Knox |
| We study the ancient Greeks and Romans through the study of languages, literatures, and cultures that flourished during a very distant past. In doing so, we study not merely the relics of peoples and ideas long dead, but the living, nourishing roots of many of the cultures we today claim as our own. |
| Every Earlham student encounters a few ancient texts during Humanities I and II, and many, eager for more, choose to satisfy their Humanities III requirement with one of our Classical Studies courses. We enjoy healthy enrollments in both language sequences, and a small but enthusiastic number of Earlham students elect to major or minor in Classical Studies. |
