“As a member of the Board of Governors for Truman State University, I can honestly say that my study of Latin has permitted me to be a more analytical and thorough member of the Board.  Latin teaches one how to think analytically, and it provides excellent insights into the workings of the English language.  I currently practice in the field of tax credits and banking where writing and communication are crucial skills, and the study of Latin has taught me how to use words and language for the benefit of my analyses and arguments.  In addition, the analytical skills one develops in translating difficult works into English are the same skills one uses to analyze court decisions and financial reports.  Good luck with your study!”   (Matthew Potter, JD, Truman 1996)
