Excerpt from Classical Association of Scotland: Proceedings, 1902-3
Changes in the curricula of Secondary Schools, mainly due to the changing requirements of public examinations, and a desire to widen the scope, promote the interests, and inquire into the end and aim of Classical Education, led many teachers and friends of the Classics to believe that the time had come for the formation of a Scottish Classical Association.
Such a society, it was felt, would be likely to be helpful and stimulating to teachers of Classics by the communication and exchange of ideas regarding the best and latest methods of instruction. It would serve also to indicate the position of Classics in general culture, and to emphasise the bearing of Classical study on the history, the thought, and the arch?ology as well as on the languages of antiquity. Moreover, Classical teachers in the remoter districts would, as members of such an Association, be encouraged in their work by the feeling that they had the support of an active and intelligent sympathy from without.
The idea of such an association had been mooted at the meetings of the Classical Committees of the Joint Board of the Scottish Universities and elsewhere.
