Every spring, students and faculty from Haverford and Bryn Mawr gather for an evening of tasty dessert and delicious performances of Greek and Latin literature. (Oral Recitation of Ancient Literature + Tea).
Marathon
Every fall, members of the Classics community gather in the Sunken Lounge of the Dining Center for a marathon reading of a work of Classical literature.
