Even Latin translation can be a friendly competition!

April 24, 2024 by Jessica Black

Each year, The Classical Association of the Middle West and South invites students to compete in its Latin Translation Exam for college/university students. During the 2023-2024 exam, 9 University of Tennessee Students did above average in the exam in one of the two categories: Intermediate College Exam (students with up to 2 years of Latin) or Advanced College Exam (3+ years of Latin).

The exam is open to any Latin student and each year alternates from translating prose or poem to English, within a the time frame of one hour.

The Department of Classics would like to congratulate the following for their success in this year’s competition: Grant Williams, Alexander Wyrick, Joshua Adedokun, Noah Hornback, Lela Flowers, Lauren Shinn, Houston Boyd, Kaitlyn Emler, and Henry Green!
