Book excerpt: Excerpt from Classical Association of Scotland: Proceedings, 1905-6 Dr heard, Fettes College, said it was almost impossible not to refer at once to the question of procedure. It was almost impossible for the Association to treat the contents of the report in any detail. He would suggest that they should recognise the general principle contained in the first point on page 1 of the report, and, meantime, receive Opinions both from members and others. He thought the matter was very important. He, too, like Professor Hardie, had worked under both the English system and the modified system, and he was bound to express a very strong preference for what would be called the new pronunciation. In every way it produced a better appreciation of the form of Latin verse. As to whether any change would be made in the south, he confessed he felt certain misgivings. He was old enough to remember when the universities of Oxford and Cambridge recommended the schools to take up that matter. Very few did so, a considerable number gloried in their shame, and it was left alone altogether. (laughter) The demands on schools were very different now. When he was at school the question of modern languages had nothing of the importance it had now. No school could now afford to despise modern languages, and in these stress had to be laid on pronunciation. He thought that in Greek and Latin they had been too inclined to leave the thing alone.
