Abolishing Latin is a very short-sighted move. The University is an estate one of whose tasks is to preserve and foster cultural traditions. What could be more fundamental to traditional European culture than Latin? Latin and the other humanities should be fostered in a world that is becoming more and more crass, more and more dominated by technological geeks, and more and more disrespectful of the past. This will all end up being to the detriment of humanity.
