Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a defense of the literary and scientific pursuits that have been encouraged and enforced at the University of Cambridge. The author, a member of its faculty, offers a clear and polemical explanation of the Classical studies of that University, countering the view that its institutions are confined to Mathematical Objects. The book provides an overview of the benefits of classical literature, such as opportunities for public speaking, academic distinction, and college prizes. It further emphasizes the existence of a rigorous curriculum of Greek and Latin authors, alongside opportunities like college-wide declamation contests. The author maintains that classical literature is not only encouraged, but actively vital to university life at Cambridge.
