I entirely agree with the arguments presented by the initiators of this petition. Jyväskylä has great humanistic traditions since the days of the Teacher Training College. A university that gives teaching in humanistic subjects such as languages and history cannot do without Latin, the mother tongue of Western civilization. The University of Jyväskylä has had excellent chairholders in Latin; it would indeed be a great pity if the teaching of Latin and research on it would come to an end in Jyväskylä.
