Summary:

This book provides both a narrative history of the Classical Association in the 20th century and a series of studies of different aspects of its work. It includes detailed accounts of the Association's branches, conferences and journals, and ends with a discussion of the long series of presidential addresses (three of which are reprinted). A centenary account of the Classical Association of Scotland (founded in 1902) is also included. Several appendices provide factual information on the presidents and other officers, and on the Association's archives.
