The Classical course

(1980 memoirs)
Cousin Frankie went to the college [Ripon] herself when she was young and often told me what a disaster the whole thing was.  At that time there were two courses only, the Classical course and the Science.  Somehow, some way, God knows how, somebody pushed her into the Classical course where she had no roots, no feeling.  Greek and Latin grammar beat about in her poor brain where it had no place to be.
