We have heard the claim advanced by a modern Greek that classic Greek should be taught as a living language because modern Greek is a living continuation of it. Professor Santayana's position is somewhat similar: He regards the Roman culture and language from the point of view of the so-called Latin races of Europe.

A "second class" pin is given for three scores of 20 out of 25 or "first class" for two scores of 15 straight and an "expert" pin for 25 straight. These pins are made in the shape of clay birds and are marked with the initials of the club...
