Wax Tablet is the twice-annual newsletter of the Department of Classics. It is our hope that newsletter helps preserve the important scholarship and exciting agenda of our Classics Department. In the process of creating the newsletter, our librarian Dr. Mackenzie S. Zalin brought to our attention an archive of precursor newsletters for our department, stretching back to 1878. In each issue, we will also highlight a portion of these archives from yesteryear. Ἔρρωσθε!
