Latin Certamen Provides Fun Outlet on Last Day of Class

Certaman

On Friday, December 7 students from all four sections of Latin 101 competed in a Certamen (contest) to test their Latin knowledge and review for the final exam. PhD candidate Courtney Monahan took the lead in organizing and running the event, using Trinity College "Student Speakeasy" funding for a proposal she and PhD candidate David Stifler wrote. All four Latin 101 instructors (Monahan, Stifler, PhD candidate Laura Camp, and supervisor Dr. Rex Crews) had their sections represented. The winning team were the ironically-named "Stulti Discipuli", who came out on top after a close competition.
