We think that Harvard's position was thoroughly sportsmanlike and reasonable...
...classical writings. One reason for especial interest in the ninth century was that the stories of ancient heroes were much like the lives their own hero Charlemagne. At first, the poets and story tellers told fictitious stories, not being able to read the classics, but soon they began to turn to Latin, and then to Greek, as the source of Latin learning - because they found so much in the language of immediate value, especially the style of the ancient writers...
