Abolisching Latin as a curricular subject from the University of Jyväskylä would mean to remove a key tool for the study of language history, for language learning and for several research fields that deal with the history of mind in Europe in general. Seeing such multilingually versed and experienced students and staff members here at the University (and in particular at the Department of Languages) does the idea of abolisching Latin seem nothing but a paradox. Latin is an important and fundamental subject for every University that maintains an international status and a multilingual programme.
