Bring Back Greek and Latin

Up until about a hundred years ago, it was typical for a college-bound student to have already received several years of education (at least 4 if not more) in Greek and Latin, and a modern foreign language or two. This education would continue into college, possibly adding another modern foreign language. This is in addition to history, sciences and other subjects.

Then things started to decline. Here we are today and Latin and Greek are mostly nowhere to be found. Many colleges require 4 years of a foreign language but even that has weakened.
Yes, today we need to put effort into computer science and modern subjects, but overall there seems be a much less complete education than years ago, even though Latin and Greek form such a broad foundation for the other subjects that we study.

This article written by a Columbia College sophomore, is proposing bringing back the requirement to learn Greek and Latin in college rather than (or possibly in addition to) a modern foreign language. He makes a number of great points.

I'm all for it. I regret not having studied Latin and Greek and now I feel like I have to go back and make up for lost time.
