...entrance to the hall, which was built in 1914 by an order of nuns as a residence for working girls, is surmounted by two earnest Latin mottoes: Dulce Domum (Sweet Home) and Labor Omnia Vincit (Labor Conquers All). The messages accurately reflect Schuyler's atmosphere, which is rather like a tasteful commune for conservatives. Ornate paintings and antique furniture decorate the common rooms; cocktails are served in front of a roaring fireplace before Sunday dinner. The residents periodically hold sedate musicales (no rock or four-letter words), and many of the students belong to Schuyler's wine-tasting...

...cras videant. Argumentum tamen huius fabulae vix necesse est nobis eloqui quippe quae simillima sit paene omnibus Plauti comediis; Philolaches enim, adulescens Athenaeus, absente patre amantem suam manumittit atque grandem impendit pecuniam. Pater Theopropides revenit. Tranio, servus et omnium actorum maxime alacer, hunc ludificatur, Philolachi succurrit. Terribilem larvam dicit domum Theopropides nune habitare.
