Latin provides students with the fundamentals of the Latin language. Emphasis
is placed on vocabulary and grammar. Each student is expected to master the
principles that govern the language and their practical application. Units
concerned with vocabulary enrichment and word derivation are important
components of the first year program, with special attention being paid to
syntax and grammatical constructs. This course also includes units on the
Roman way of life, Roman history, and literary accomplishments.
