Latin IV: AP Vergil
Paul VI Catholic High School  
http://www.paulvi.net
Latin IV Virgil Homework Latin is the first subject we do in life entirely for its own sake. A degree at university in classics leads to almost any job in the world. It gives one a disinterestedness in the study of any subject. Disinterestedness is not being uninterested. Quite the opposite: it is a love of studying without any practical result intended -- and it gives the soul a peace, an inner control, a quiet joy beyond words.
--Author Unknown
The Ratio Studiorum says the purpose of Latin was to teach culture. It wished Latin taught becuause without it, no one can attain that fine appreciation and delight in beautiful things nor be comfortable and at home with them which is the mark of the cultured mind. The Ratio wished the pupil to become a master of its expression and its appreciation: to find his reading in Latin books, to express his thoughts in Latin, to talk, to plan, to argue, to dream, to pray, to live in Latin. Mind training, proper formation, was a by-product of Latin teaching.
-- William McGucken, The Jesuits and Education
