The Virgil Society

Description

The Virgil Society was founded in 1943. Its purpose was and remains to unite all those who cherish the central educational tradition of Western Europe, of which Virgil is the symbol, and membership is open to all who are in sympathy, whether they read Latin or not. There are normally five or six meetings each year in London, held on Saturday afternoons in Senate House, where lectures are followed by refreshments and an opportunity to meet the speaker and other members. Most lectures are published in full in the Proceedings of the Virgil Society, which normally appears every three years, and members also receive a newsletter twice a year. The Society thanks the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London, and the Department of Greek and Latin at University College London for their continued support.
