“THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE”
Had Socrates said that in 1976, they might have given him the Nobel instead of that year's actual recipient, Milton Friedman ("There's no such thing as a free lunch.") Unfortunately, neither of them lived long enough to witness our Free Summer Greek and Summer Latin programs here at Stockton.
Summer Greek and Latin are fast becoming something of a tradition here at Stockton. Our
students study throughout the academic year: memorize forms, declensions and conjugations, dive
into dictionaries and translate. Then, they return for the summer to teach anyone
who shares their passion for all things Greek and Latin. There is a willingness to
share and learn that is rarely seen in any other discipline (Have you ever heard of
Summer Geometry?). Modern Greek may still live on but anyone who says the Latin and Ancient Greek
are dead languages clearly has not been anywhere near Stockton in summer!
As always, all will be welcome to attend. There is no charge for these summer classes, which are presented by the ICHS and the Friends of Hellenic Studies.
