EPIGRAMMA.
Non re, sed famā vivunt plerique; colorem Et virtutis amant, quem vel iniquus amat. Hinc laus est, sincera licet, male cauta frequenter; Nam rerum vacuā sistitur in facie. Cognitor arcani verax, Deus intime, nostri! Tu solus laudis noscere jura potes.

Among us we have over 150 years of Latin experience including many years of teaching experience, seven advanced degrees, many publications in academic journals, and multiple positions in professional organizations.
