Although, not all your Founding Fathers valued a Classical education: Tom Paine was rather scornful of a Greek or Lattin education for example (although I suspect he was embarrassed that he didn't have one himself).

An interesting article, although I'm skeptical about Latin having major benefits that rigorous study of any major language plus math doesn't.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
