| Notes | James Bradstreet Greenough was among the first to teach Sanskrit and comparative philology in the United States. He was the founder of HSCP and had a leading role in the organization of the Society for the Collegiate Instruction of Women that led to the establishment of Radcliffe College. He was a tireless scholar from 1870 to 1901, though most of his books were school textbooks, editions of Caesar, Sallust, Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Livy, and Ovid. Of fundamental importance was his study of the Latin subjunctive, and his Latin grammar was often reprinted and is still useful. |
