Back in middle school, Jacob Hane '22 would have hardly expected his first Latin class to lead into anything like a college major. "There were times where I wanted to drop it, focus on a different language," he acknowledged.
Last month, Hane presented a paper he wrote on classical reception at the NYU Society for Ancient Studies Undergraduate Research Conference. And at Hamilton, he is a founder and editor-in-chief of The Haley Classical Journal, which publishes undergraduate classics papers from around the world. Safe to say, it's a good thing he stuck with it.

Do you have any MG Library books sitting around your house or in the bottom of your backpack? Mrs. Barrett is asking all students to look for any library books borrowed this year, and to please return them to the Library BOX in the front of the school. She is conducting a mid-year inventory, and several books have been checked out for months. If you are unable to come to the school, please contact Mrs. Barrett to arrange for a home pick up. Mrs. Barrett also wants to remind students that the library is still lending books to students; that she is always available for a phone, email or zoom chat to suggest free reading titles; and that she is willing to do home deliveries whenever possible during this period of remote learning!
