PROF, COITEN REIIOS i EDUCAIIONAl PAPER Paper on Augury in Roman Religion Read at Chapel Thursday by Head of Romance Language Dept. "At the chapel service Thursday morn ing Prof. W. J. Gotten of the depart- men of romance language,* struck a new note. Prof. Cotton deserted his field, and entered the Latin world for the theme of his paper. He read a most interesting and instructive paper on augury in the Roman religion. Prof. Cotten is eminently fitted to discuss the subject, since he has done much research work in Latin literature. The theme of the paper was estM*cially interesting to those who had given thought to history and to the religion and social customs of the Roman people. 'J’he speaker traced the development cf Augury from the founding of Rome, pointing out that it.was by Augury that the first ruler was Uonuilus instead ol his brother, and that it was responsiblQ for the first blood spilled on the goil of the city. The paper went back into tho origin of the custom of divination of Augury, and showed that it was pre valent among the Babyloninns and other ancient peoples and how it was imported into tho Roman religion. Prof. Cotten then sketched briefly the dpvolopment of Augury ns a vital part of the Roman life, and devoted much time to its usages and methods. Ho gave n brief discussion of the prevalent forjus used, and the popularity which it achieved. lie told how the greatest men of Itomo, even Cicero, were augurs, and made it a powerful political weapon. In concluding the paper the professor pointed out that the political use , to which it was perverted was largely the cause of the fall of Augury as a reli- ^'ious institution. He then discussed the disnppearance of the custom from Roman life. '^riio paper was indicative of much re search and insight into the subject dis cussed. and wns extremely educational. MRS.
