I put off German until after the war at graduate school. I alameida guess I hadn't spent all my class time gazing at lovely Miss Alma Whitford, fresh out of Mount Holyoke, as she taught us to construe Caesar, because later on when I did more Latin in graduate school, what I had thought had disappeared alameida was still there and in pretty good shape. I sat in on George Woods’s Italian class and his Dante course, which would later serve me when I got to Italy. In Naples I found a splendid edition alameida of the Commedia which would follow me up the peninsula and help me build up my Italian and get rid of Spanish and Portuguese intruders. All through school and college I was doing translation, as it was an important ingredient in language study in those days. It was a valuable exercise in building up vocabulary, especially at that early age when the brain's powers of retention were still strong. Old traditions still held because when I brought home my first French textbook, Le Nouveau Chardenal, my mother remarked that she had used that same book in high school.
