Two Latin Immersion Experiences for Summer 2015
Not only teachers, who may wish to develop their ability use Latin actively and extempore in the classroom to augment whatever teaching methods they prefer to use, but anyone at all devoted to Latin, such as professors, graduate students, and those who read Latin for personal enrichment, can benefit from both of these week-long seminars, which are exclusively aimed at helping those who take part to acquire a more instinctive and active command of the Latin language.

CAES Institute Update
Salvete, socii!
The CAES 51st Annual Institute, Perge Modo, is just days away and it promises to be a wonderful gathering.
I am absolutely excited about this year’s conference. At the business meeting Saturday afternoon I will be presenting the scholarships and awards and we will take nominations for the Board of Directors and elect officers. Later that afternoon we have arranged an excursion entitled The Classical Language of Albany's Architecture, led by Albany City Historian Anthony Opalka. In the evening we will dine with old and new friends and reminisce with Donald Mills on fifty years of CAES.
Please join us on Friday, October 24 at 7:30 P.M. for the pre-conference session featuring Linda Fabrizio, Visiting Roman Britain: A New Appreciation for the Roman Res. The President's Reception, with a select pouring of NYS wines and spirits, follows immediately afterward.
All rooms that we originally had set aside for the Institute have been taken! The Hilton Garden Inn, Albany/SUNY Area, on Washington Avenue in Albany, is nearly full next weekend, but a few rooms remain. If you would like to attend, you may still be able to reserve a room at the CAES rate ($105 code: CYE). Institute registration (which includes breakfast and lunch) may be done online.
Be a part of CAES’ next fifty years! You will find all the information you need on the CAES website and you can subscribe for an automatic alert when information is updated.
See you at the Institute!
Sincerely —
Ellyn Bibik, Vice President

Tempus Fugit

Many of us have connections to CAES that span decades. I just realized the other day that my first encounter with CAES was when the Annual Institute was at Union College, where I was a student, some time in the late 1980's. Little did I know that a few short years later I'd be embarking upon my career as a Latin teacher.
To help preserve and celebrate these memories and experiences, we are collecting photos and notes of times past with our CAES colleagues. As we approach the holiday weekend, please take some time to see if you have anything you would like to share. Photographs, anecdotes, old programs, or any other CAES-related memorabilia are all welcome! Ellyn Bibik, our vice president, and fellow board member Kitrina Finlayson have both graciously volunteered to collect these. Please contact them via e-mail:
esbibik@gmail.com & kfinlayson@nhart.org

Come Celebrate 50 Years of CAES at the 2014 Annual Institute
Salvete, socii!
Eugepae! Fifty years
of CAES — a salute to June Stillwell, our first President, and the myriad of
distinguished others who originally gathered as CAES. It was 1964 and I was just beginning my “career” in Latin as
an eighth grade student in Miss Perry’s classroom in Rome, New York (imagine
that, a Latin teacher from Rome!).
I eventually made my way into the classrooms of other legendary classicists,
like Mary Goggin, Lois Williams,
Hans Pohlsander, Richard Gascoyne, each one an inspiration for my own
legendary classroom.
Fifty years have passed and the
rationale for CAES is stronger and more relevant. Without the expertise and perseverance of CAES members, navigating APPR, SLOs,
LATs, and Common Core Curriculum would have been less productive and even more
meaningless. I have never known a professional group that supports its own in a
more profound way. And the future of CAES is apparent. It is exciting to
observe the new crop of teachers who utilize all sorts of digital material to
truly connect with their millennial students. They are the members who will carry
CAES the next fifty years.
I encourage you to
join us as we celebrate fifty years. You will find all the information you need
on the CAES website and you can subscribe for an automatic alert when
information is updated. The 2014 Annual Institute, Perge Modo, will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, Albany/SUNY Area, on
Washington Avenue in Albany, October 24–26. We invite anyone interested in
speaking at the conference to submit a proposal via the website. The Institute
offers a variety of presentations for enrichment and personal interest as well
as workshops on trending teaching methods. This year a narrated motor coach tour of Albany’s classical architecture is also
included.
We look forward to seeing you in October! Sincerely —
Ellyn Bibik, Vice
President
