Through one-on-one advising and a vibrant research community, we help students define their interests and move toward independent scholarship. Each scholar graduating from Classical Studies has a different profile. Variety and flexibility are among the defining features of the program. It is to interpret the reality that these sources refer to: “it is this ability to interpret a document by not making it a document, but a real episode of life in the past, that ultimately makes someone a historian.” But their work is not to interpret these sources. In the words of Momigliano, historians work with sources. For Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, classical scholarship was a “science.” It should “re-create the poet’s song, the thought of the philosopher and the lawgiver, the sanctity of the temple and the feelings of the believers and the unbelievers, the bustling life of market and port, the physical appearance of land and sea, mankind at work and play.” Today, the study of antiquity is a methodologically diverse field, looking to discover the past, but also to engage with art as art, and to do philosophy with the ancient philosophers. The beginnings of this integrated approach to antiquity go back at least as far as “Altertumswissenschaft” in 19th century Germany.
