The Classics in America

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 January 2009

Extract

The position of the Classics in the United States has been determined very largely by the development of the public school system. Between the founding of the first Latin grammar-school in Boston in 1635, or of Harvard University in 1638, and the numerous public (free), State-directed schools of the present day, vast changes have come about in the student body and in the curriculum—changes which have decidedly affected the study of the Classics.
