RE "Virgil Goes Viral" [Feb. 5]: as a high school Latin student, I am thrilled to see the classics getting recognition in new translations, histories, biographies, movies and TV shows. While the classics were for centuries a key part of "proper" education, they have been somewhat forgotten by our modern culture. This negligence is seen in dwindling enrollment in classics courses and, most unfortunately, dwindling funding for classics programs and the students enrolled in them. The classics are a key to how our civilization was shaped.
