L. J. D. Richardson, the historian of the Classical Association, has recorded how at a general meeting held on 3 January 1930 a resolution was passed requesting the Council of the Association ‘to consider the possibilities of instituting, and, if possible, to institute, a New Journal suited primarily to the needs of the Schools’. If any individual was responsible for the birth of Greece & Rome, that person was R. H. Barrow, who introduced the discussion leading to this resolution, and who served for many years as the chairman of the Board of Management subsequently established. The purpose of the journal was indicated by the inclusion on the Board of Management of representatives drawn from each of the four School Teachers' Associations and by the appointment as joint editors of the Rev. C. J. Ellingham from City of London School and A. G. Russell of St Olave's.

2. Compare the very similar ‘W. H. D. Rouse and the Association for the Reform of Latin Teaching’ published by Dale in Didaskalos 1, 2 (1964), 106 ff.
3. The May 1937 number includes an article entitled ‘The Confessions of a Latin Specialist’ (pp. 165–9), in which A. Eustance records his reflections after a decade as a Latin master in ‘public secondary schools’. This piece rates a special mention as an illustration of the difficulties facing Classics more than forty years ago and of suggestions for countering those difficulties.
