Abstract:

Greek and Latin, part of classic curriculum, was a source of dread for many students of yesteryear. Therefore, news that Greek and Latin for Vocabulary Building was a popular course for ECU students may seem surprising. An explanation was the appeal of vocabulary words perhaps regarded as profane. Evidence not surprising, but perhaps not considered during course registration, was their role in the development of later born languages like English.
