Specifically Trinity College, Cambridge. From Newton to Byron. And down to the Cambridge Spies and Bloomsbury Group.

Although they still do the Math Tripos, the Greats program in Ancient Greek and Latin seems to have befallen modern times and is sadly diminished. One wonders what we are losing ;)




I think that what you call the "Greats" programme would today be called the "Classics", which still seems to be a Tripos option [1]. It requires knowledge of Latin but an extra preliminary year is available to teach it to those without the background. It also includes "intensive ancient Greek programme".
