LATIN IS FOUNDATION OF ALL
Although a Dead Language, Oregon Professor Asserts You Find It Wherever You Turn.
"Latin is a living force in daily life and all other studies are in overwhelming debt to it," says Prof. F. S. Dunn, head of the department of Latin in the University of Oregon, in a bulletin which he has written for the Latin teachers in the high schools and colleges of Oregon.
"The teacher," he says, "must read English from out the Latin and Latin from out the English; must see geometry, biology and physics in Caesar; must conjure legal phrases and doctor's prescriptions from Cicero's orations; must flash the 'Idyls of the King' and 'Paradise Lost' and 'The Faery Queen' across the pages of Virgil; must brand every paragraph with the Romance languages and 'Latin America and the Philippines; must see Rome in the clock dial, in the 10-cent piece, in a decimal fraction, in the almanac, in the days of the week, in the Sunday liturgy, in Oregon's seal, in the omnibus bill, in the ultimatum to Turkey, in an aeronaut or a submarine; in Montana or in Arizona; in Cincinnati or in Olympia; in Lucy or in Gus; in patrimony or matrimony or alimony, it matters not which, for it is all Latin, anyway, and everywhere you turn."
