Kellogg Latin Translation Exam
The Kellogg Prize fund was established in May 1918 by Prof. Brainerd Kellogg, Class of 1858 ‘to encourage Latin and English’. This award is given for the best sight translation of a passage from Latin poetry into English. Contestants may use a dictionary. This contest is open to all Middlebury College students.

Marathon Readings
Our annual marathon readings take place outside the Davis Family Library each October during Fall Family Weekend. Baklava is provided for everyone, but you must register beforehand if you wish to wear the laurel wreath and read. (Togas absolutely not required.)
Please contact Trish Dougherty at pdougher@middlebury.edu if you would like to be on the mailing list for our annual marathon reading.
Gatherings
To celebrate the achievements of our students (both majors and nonmajors) and the vibrant classics community on campus, the Classics Department sponsors several gatherings each year. Each year includes a Saturnalia, an end-of-school-year BBQ on the lawn behind Twilight Hall, and a Commencement reception (together with the Philosophy Department) for our graduating majors and their families. Please contact Trish Dougherty at pdougher@middlebury.edu for more information.
Any excuse for a laurel wreath.
