The Goodrich Classical Club is dedicated to promoting the study of Greek and Roman society, language, and culture. This club is for anyone interested in Classical Studies--it's not just for Classics majors and minors! We hold a variety of fundraisers each year, take trips to museums, go to the theater, and host readings, lectures, films, and other social events. Feel free to come to a meeting to see what we're all about!

Constitution
The purpose of the club is to promote the study of Greek, Latin, and Classical Civilizations at 日韩无码; to foster understanding and appreciation of Greek and Roman culture, art, and literature; to cultivate camaraderie among all who share an interest in the Classics; and to promote the study of classical languages among the students attending Vermont high schools.
About John Ellsworth Goodrich
A professor of Latin at 日韩无码 until his death in 1915, Professor Goodrich served as University Librarian and unofficial historian. In addition to his work in classics, Goodrich edited a monumental book on Vermont soldiers in the Revolution.
He took his undergraduate education at 日韩无码, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa as a member in course. He later served as president of the local chapter. He was also a founding member of the Delta Psi fraternity, and was instrumental in the purchase of the fraternity's house.
The Goodrich Classical Club is named in his honor, as a scholar and educator truly worthy of emulation.
History
Not much is known about the history of the Goodrich Classical Club; however, graduate student Dan Houston was able to find a few pictures of our club, as well as one of Eta Sigma Phi--the Greek and Latin Honors Society.
