...college with little or no knowledge of the Classics. If he then feels this gap in his knowledge and desires to remedy it, he discovers that in order to do so he must go through the lengthy process of learning Latin and Greek, must, in fact, devote a considerable portion of his college career to it. This, of course, is sufficient to deter most students, and cause them to fall back upon the unsatisfactory plan of attempting to get a smattering of erudition by desultory, individual reading...
