Results of the 2012-13 Maurine Dallas Watkins Sight Translation Contests were announced at the national convention of Eta Sigma Phi (the Classics honor society for college and university students), held in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, at Wake Forest University, April 5-7.\u00a0 Five of the 18 prizes awarded this year went to St. Olaf College students.<\/p>\n

Grace B. Koch<\/b>, a second-year Classics and Ancient Studies major from Evanston, Illinois, received three individual prizes: first prize<\/b> in Intermediate Classical Greek<\/b>, third prize<\/b> in Koine Greek<\/b>, and third prize<\/b> in Advanced Latin<\/b>. Last year she won third prize in Intermediate Latin.\u00a0 Chance E. Bonar<\/b>, a second-year Classics, Ancient Studies, and Religion major from Farmington, Minnesota, received second prize<\/b> in Intermediate Greek<\/b>.\u00a0 Kaitlin A. Coats<\/b>, a senior Latin, Medieval Studies, and English major from Edmonds, Washington, received second prize<\/b> in Advanced Latin Prose Composition<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Students must be enrolled in an ancient Greek or Latin course at the intermediate or advanced level to be eligible to compete in one or more of these categories:\u00a0 Classical Greek (Intermediate or Advanced Level), Koine Greek, Latin (Intermediate or Advanced Level), Latin Prose Composition (Advanced Level).\u00a0 After students take the written exams at St. Olaf in February, their papers are mailed to a national distribution center and sent out from there to be evaluated anonymously by judges at universities elsewhere in the country.\u00a0 The winners receive monetary awards as well as national recognition.<\/p>\n

In the Maurine Dallas Watkins Contests, St. Olaf College has the best record of any school in the United States, with at least one winner every year since 1980.<\/p>\n
