Despite the distance from the great centers of classical learning in Europe, and the complete absence of relics of the Roman (not to mention the Greek) presence in our landscape, the classical curriculum was imported and speedily naturalized with the founding of the Boston Latin School in 1635 an Harvard College in Cambridge in 1636. The memory of Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare, King James I and the King James Bible were still fresh to the American pioneers, and they carried with them in their intellectual baggage across the Atlantic Ocean the models of the European educational system. This curriculum had at its core in the colonial grammar schools and colleges the study of the Latin and Greek languages, literatures and antiquities. In this country, from its beginnings until the early 19th Century, besides the Sacred Bible, stood what some called the Sacred Classics. - Wikipedia: Meyer Reinhold (September 1, 1909 July 2002) was an American classical scholar and also a specialist in Jewish studies.
