Advanced studiesdelved into more technical points on grammar andliterature of the countries. Although Latin is not amodern spoken language, it is no less important. Foursuccessive years of the language were offered rangingfrom practice in reading and writing simple Latin tothe study of Virgils Aeneid in the fourth year.
