Does anybody out there know enough Latin to be able to translate a
piece of text?

I have managed to get a copy of 'Acta Senatus' - a report by Tolkien in
Latin from the March 1911 issue of _The King Edward's School Chronicle_
- and would love to know what it says.

Is it long? I could give it a try but no promises as I already have a heavy
schedule.
E-mail me the text in my e-mail address: indianos.TakeThisOut@ath.forthnet.gr

Cheers,
Iakovos:)

If it's not too long, why not post it here? It seems there's some
interest in it, and we could bick^H^H^H^H critique each other's
translations. Wink

I think it is probably breach of copyright to publish it here.
