“No person shall be admitted a member of this College, unless, upon examination by the President”¦he shall be found acquainted with the fundamental rules of arithmetic, and able to read, construe and parse Cicero’s select orations, Virgil’s Aeneid and Greek testament, and to write Latin grammatically, and shall also produce satisfactory credentials of his good moral character.”
As much as I am no great fan of the rip off that is modern secondary education in this country, I would donate money to any school that posted that as part of its standards for admission.
Actually a pretty low standard, except for the last.
