Salvete Omnes! This is Latin for \u201cHello, Everyone!\u201d And, as a Classics Major and a lover of the Latin language, it\u2019s something you\u2019ll hear from me very often. As I\u2019ve briefly mentioned in my earlier posts, I\u2019m very involved in different co-curriculars on campus, especially within my major. Right now, within the Classics major, I\u2019m one of the Manuscripts, Inscriptions, and Documents Club editors, where we transcribe an eleventh-century manuscript of the Iliad in Greek. I\u2019ve also been recently inducted into the Classics\u2019 Honor Society, \u0397\u03a3\u03a6\/Eta Sigma Phi (ESP). I\u2019ll also be on the Classics department\u2019s Student Advisory Committee next year, working with various things in the department.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, what I\u2019m here to share with you today is a very exciting event Eta Sigma Phi and the many people within the department recently organized: Classics day! Classics day is when nearly 200 high school students from around the area come to Holy Cross to share their love for the Classical world. I helped volunteer along with many other of my classmates and friends all day to make this event special for the students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the costume and art contests went on, I judged Certamen games a couple of floors above. Certamen is a Latin quiz bowl where two or more teams compete by answering questions about the Latin language, mythology, history, and literature. As a former Certamen player myself, it isn\u2019t easy to recall all of this at once. And, it\u2019s even better when you\u2019re judging it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we did all the preliminary rounds, one of my friends, Zach, and I were lucky enough to judge the final Certamen to find out who came out on top (very stressful for these students)!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is just one of the many ways we connect at the college and others outside the Crusader community. I can\u2019t wait until next year\u2019s Classics day, and (I think) it should be the 50th anniversary since beginning this enriching tradition!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
