    Greeks against the corruption of their language with the wanton barbarisms of our nomencla- tors, we are forced to the conclusion that the only way to purify our onomatology is to con- sult our Greek colleagues of the University of Athens. We need not fear that any terms rec- ommended by them will be contrary to the spirit and form of classical Attic. The Greek of to-day, as taught in the schools throughout Greece, and employed as the official language of the Government of Greece, is pura Attic, as pure as ever was. It is the immortal Greek in all its youth and beauty, free from foreign elements. It is necessary to emphasize this fact because our college professors, with the rare exception of some excellent college men and colleges in America, are bound, as in a conspiracy, to sup- press this truth; and this conspiracy indeed is the cause of our corrupt onomatology.
