Product Description
Excerpt from The Value of Humanistic, Particularly Classical, Studies as a Training for Men of Affairs, Vol. 10: A Symposium From the the Proceedings of the Classical Conference Held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, April 3, 1909 It is matter of great regret to me that I cannot attend your Conference, for the longer I watch the currents that are now affecting the higher education, the more I lament the diminished attention that is today given to classical studies. Most people seem to think that a language no longer used by a nation as its daily speech is a dead language and has no value for the modern world. But the truth is that no language which enshrines a great literature and through which the thought of the past speaks to the thinkers of the present can ever die. Such a language is far more alive than those spoken languages which contain little worth reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
