Apart from all 'high' reasons, of which we are all well aware, I would point out two other, perhaps more convincing for those, who claim to be worried about competititvity and financial condition of our university: 1) the Section for Latin and Romance Languages has been highly successful in raising external funds over last years, as proved by the projects financed the Academy of Finland; 2) the English classes in Ancient and Medieval Latin culture offered by the Section attracted not only Finnish students but also foreign students, who were either sincerely interested in the subject, or simply needed credits, since Latin, Latin Literature, Ancient History and Medieval Studies are curricular subjects at most European universities.
