Toward Ending the Crisis for Classics

“Here and there some exceptionally gifted classical teacher, mostly by sheer attractiveness of general temperament, enlists in his classes larger numbers than the average for his subject, but even if every classical instructor possessed the erudition and charm of the Admirable Crichton and the horse-power drive of a Ford tri-motor plane, the struggle would still be an unequal one as between the classics and most other subjects.”

—William Alexander Hardy, “The Amiable Tyranny of Peisistratus” (1937)

“Without a clear statement of why the ancients are worth studying, classical education loses its purpose.”

—Robert E. Proctor, “The Studia Humanitatis: Contemporary Scholarship and Renaissance Ideals” (1990)
