Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first lecture, is given under the title, "The Channels of Life." After a brief introduction in which the lecturer made further reference to his former connection with the University of Virginia and the renewal of his service in the initiation of the Barbour-Page courses, which mark the beginning of more intimate relations between the University and her sister institutions, he said that his object was not to make a plea for the study of Greek. Living is the test of vitality, and all the pleading in the world will be vain if life is lost. The problem is not whether Greek is worthwhile; but, Greek being given, how to teach Greek, how to learn Greek so as to make it a part or recognize it as part of the moral and intellectual life of the times. In the second lecture, "Greek Language and Literature," illustrates of the theme as laid down in the first were drawn from the Greek language and the Greek literature. The laudation of the Greek language must be reserved for the intimate circle of those who know Greek. The attraction of a language as of a person lies in the physical charm, and the physical charm exists in the eye of the lover. So the present discourse turns on what might be called the social relations of the Greek language-its pervasiveness. The fact that the classical languages belong to the same stock as our own does not enter into our consciousness. Our monosyllabic language reduces so much to the state of radicals that the provenience of a word makes little difference. The study of origins, of etymologies, has very little to do with the practice of speaking and writing. The derivation of an English word from Greek or Latin may serve to guide the pen of the scholarly writer; it does not concern the masses that use the language. The third lecture, "Hellas and Hesperia," deals with what the lecturer once dared to call the American element in Greek life. In order to give vitality to our studies, ancient history has to be interpreted into terms of American experience, and many of the aspects of American life enable us to understand the ancients better than some of our European contemporaries. An audacious, inventive, ready-witted people, we Americans are in sympathy with the audacious, inventive, ready-witted Greeks. It is true that the poet who is regarded by some as the truest representative of American life, Walt Whitman, dismisses antiquity; but we cannot dismiss antiquity. The classical caravel is still seaworthy, and no Captain Courageous of Gloucester, Mass., is more popular than Odysseus of Ithaca. Our history has its analogues in Greek history. Hellenism like Americanism was the result of war. We are the latest offspring of modern times as they the latest of the ancient world; for we are still living the life of Rome. The microscopic Greek state is built on the same lines as ours. The physical surroundings are not unlike ours, and the difference of size is minimized by the facilities of modern intercourse. Greeks and Americans are republicans, nay democrats, to the core. Nothing gives a keener sense of kinship than a community of diseases, and we have the same political diseases. The Greek tyrant is the modern boss. The Americans have the same assimilative power as the Greeks. Pure Hellenic blood is a fancy. There were many strains in ancient Hellas-they are all one to us; and so the Americans, whatever their ancestry, are one to them that are without. The barriers between the different foreign nationalities in America are sure to be broken down, not only by the tide of affairs but by the impetuous winds of the American nationality, for the mobility and versatility of the American man rival the mobility and versatility of the Greek poetry in its intimate relations! - Alumni Bulletin, Volume 2, by University of Virginia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classical Athenians were the first to articulate and implement the notion that ordinary citizens of no particular affluence or education could make responsible political decisions. For this reason, reactions to Athenian democracy have long provided a prime Rorschach test for political thought. Whether praising Athens's government as the legitimizing ancestor of modern democracies or condemning it as mob rule, commentators throughout history have revealed much about their own notions of politics and society. In this book, Jennifer Roberts charts responses to Athenian democracy from Athens itself through the twentieth century, exploring a debate that touches upon historiography, ethics, political science, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, gender studies, and educational theory.
