Professor Robert Ketterer will
speak at Eta Sigma Phi's 50th anniversary celebration. |
MONMOUTH, Ill. — Monmouth College’s Gamma Omicron Chapter
of Eta Sigma Phi, the national classics honorary, will celebrate its 50th
anniversary with a lecture by Robert Ketterer, professor of classics at
the University of Iowa, on April 23 at 4 p.m. in the Whiteman-McMillan
Highlander Room of the college’s Stockdale Center.
Ketterer’s late father, John, was professor of biology at Monmouth for
many years and was an honorary member of the chapter. Entitled “Mozart and
Rome,” the talk is free and open to the public.
The Gamma Omicron Chapter was founded in 1956 by professors Bernice L. Fox
and Harold J. Ralston and is currently advised by classics professor Tom
Sienkewicz. Membership is based upon excellent work in the study of Latin
or ancient Greek and is by invitation only.
The purposes of Eta Sigma Phi, in the words of its constitution, are “to
develop and promote interest in classical study among the students of
colleges and universities; to promote closer fraternal relationship among
students who are interested in classical study, including inter-campus
relationship; and to engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest
in classical study and in the history, art and literature of ancient
Greece and Rome.”
