At a symposium of Princeton professors, almost unanimous support of Latin and Greek courses in the college was manifested. Dr. McCosh stated that while in London he was present at a discussion of the most eminent scholars in science and literature, the most brilliant literary company with which he ever came into contact, and the unanimous conclusion was that ordinarily the student first in Greek could, if he so chose, take first in any other department, whether of science or literature. Prof. Packard, referring to Charles Francis Adams, Jr., and Lord Coleridge, said : "I am willing to place the judge against the advocate, the decision of one thoroughly acquainted with the classics against the plea of one who acknowledges himself unfamiliar with them." Dr. Murray, dean of the college and professor of English literature, said that as one who had had the superintendency of the college essays of both classical and scientific students for eight years, as he had had, he could not help noting the power the study of Greek gave in English sentence making ; that, while there are men of letters, like the late Dr. Holland, who have a natural gift of style without Greek culture, it is nevertheless true that, to master English idiom, the average man must be more or less familiar with Greek. Profs. Young, Cameron, Orrks, Winans, Libbey, Hunt and West also spoke.
