Classics hall a haven to dorks
To the Editors:
Primum atrium litterarum de rebus futuris venit, impedens campum de tabulato
quarto Noae. Nunc, altera res ex caligine emergit, novus terror - Atrium Graecum Romanumque. Perfugium
omnibus ineptis de aliqua parte
campi, haec atrium in tabulato tertio Meridiei velut monumentum studiis omnibus Graecis Romanisque
stabit. Locus ubi populi ire poterunt erit ad interrogationes ad multam noctem de ablativu, et
quaesitiones de moribus coquinariis Atrei, nam dum provincia Oberlinis Graeca Romanaque mirabilis
est, non eis seconda hora mane quaesitiones de ponente panes in fornacem frigidam aut de capellis
lacertosis non videantus esse amoenae. Sed atrium Graecum Romanumque praesens erit! Venite visere!
Etiam tibi ubi custoditur aegidem Achillis monstremus.
P.S. Ago vobis gratias, Georgina et Augusta.
First came the Hall of Science Fiction, menacing the campus from fourth floor
of Noah. Now, out of the mist emerges something else, a new terror - The Classics Hall. Haven to
all dorks from all parts of the campus, this hall in the third floor of South will stand as a monument
to all obsessions Greek and Roman. It will be a place for people to go with questions late at night
about the ablative and inqueries on the cooking habits of Atreus, for while the Classics Department
of Oberlin is fantastic, questions at two in the morning about lusty goats or placing bread into
cold ovens may not be seen as pleasing to them. But the Classics Hall will be there! Come visit!
We may even
show you where the shield of Achilles is kept.
P.S. Thank you, Georgina and Augusta.
