The Department of Classics is delighted to announce that we will be hosting two prize exams, one in Greek and the other in Greek and Latin translation later this semester. These exams, described below, are named and endowed. We hope you will consider taking one or both of them.
EARLE PRIZE IN CLASSICS
This prize is awarded annually to an undergraduate student (from any division: CC, GS, Barnard) for excellence in sight translation of passages of Greek and Latin. It was established in memory of Mortimer Lamson Earle, Class of 1886, lecturer and Professor in the Department of Greek and Latin. The exam will be held on 4/4, 2:30-4:30pm in Hamilton 618.
BENJAMIN F. ROMAINE PRIZE FUND
Established in 1922, this gift of Benjamin F. Romaine provides to a Columbia College student (noting that only CC students are eligible) a prize for proficiency in Greek language and literature. The exam will be held on 11/4, 2:30-4:30pm, in Hamilton 618.
To take either exam (or both), you need do nothing more than show up—no registration or advanced notice necessary.
We hope to see you there.
