The first section also reviews English instruction in nine Florida state universities. The second section reports on Classics instruction in three state universities, summarizing findings on the role and mission of the classics department, collegial spirit, responsibility to students and the profession, relationships between Classics and other departments, and other miscellaneous points concerning faculty and instruction in Classics.
