2014 Phaedrus Latin Composition Contest

Five MUS Latin students have been recognized in the 2014 Phaedrus Latin Composition Contest.  In this competition, students write an original fable in Latin, in the same tradition of the Roman fabulist Phaedrus (sort of the Roman equivalent of the Greek storyteller Aesop).  The contest is sponsored by New St. Andrews College.

275 students from 20 different states competed this year.  The contest rewards three overall winners with cash prizes and then recognizes a group of finalists and semi-finalists who were also in the running.

Finalists – Salman Haque and Stephen Pacheco
Semi-Finalists – Tejvir Vaghela, Kamar Mack, and Jerry Oates

Congratulations to these students for a job well done!
