This convivial event will explore the lives and careers of four fascinating characters who influenced classical education at Canterbury.
When Canterbury College opened in 1873, Classics was considered a cornerstone of a good education and Latin was a required subject.
This convivial event will be comprised of four short talks exploring the lives and careers of four fascinating characters who influenced classical education at Canterbury – Francis Haslam, Hugh Scott, Ernst Badian, and Miss Marion Steven.
Quirky, complex and deeply dedicated to their discipline, these four scholars had a significant impact on generations of students at the University of Canterbury.
