Readings

At each of our meetings, a member of the Society reads a short text in Latin, and provides his or her own translation. It is an opportunity for veterans to stay in touch with the language and to discuss points of grammar, and for newer members to learn from the experience of the older members.

Current Readings

For the summer term, the Society will begin meeting the first week of July. Members will then be assigned dates, and will read texts of their own choosing.
