Faculty Hosts in Humanities.

Faculty members in the College's departments of music and classics were hosts to colleagues from other institutions for two important meetings on campus.

The Classics Department sponsored a Classics Symposium for several score teachers of Latin and Greek from 26 private secondary schools in the New England and Middle Alantic states. The symposium explored policies relating to Latin placement tests for college freshmen, advanced standing for incoming students with exceptional preparation in Latin and Greek, and the ongoing teaching of the classics from the secondary school to the college level.

The featured speaker for the symposium dinner in Hopkins Center's Drake Room was Visiting Professor of Classics Rolfe Humphries, a scholar widely known for his English versions of the Roman poets.

Professor of Music Franklin B. Zimmerman arranged for the New England chapter of the American Musicological Society to hold a two-day meeting at the Hopkins Center. Musician-scholars from most universities and colleges in New England were on hand for the presentation of papers on musical subjects ranging from the Renaissance to the present day. One of the principal topics for discussion was the experimental project between Yale and the Greenwich, Conn., public school system.

One of the concert highlights of the weekend was an organ recital by Professor Milton Gill, Dartmouth composer and organist, who is chairman of the Music Department.
