The Roman Collegia.
I might transcribe many more inscriptions , but I stop here to-day , for fear of wearying my readers . The Roman system of Collegia seems to have come from the Greek , inasmuch as communitas comes from Koinonia or To Koinon , and
Collegium itself is said to be derived from Sullogos . The Sodalicium , Fraternitas , Hetseria , of the Romans are derived in some way from the Adel photes , Sunnemon , Eteireia , Summoria , Sussiton , of the Greeks . But we must always bear in mind that whatever the Roman
Collegia were before the fall of the Roman empire , they naturally became very different when they moved on into Gaul and Germany and England , and formed the foundation , either in pure Roman or semi-Christianised form , of the Anglo-Saxon and later Gilds . They were a remarkable institution of Roman life , too little studied ,
whatever their exact bearing on the Gilds may be , and hence to ourselves ; but we can say of them as , if I remember rightly , Catullus does : " Fraternum vere dulce sodalicium ! "

^ Some savage sportsman lurks to shoot it down ; And ere the wearied wanderer has flown From tree on which it rests , loud , bang , off goes The murd ' rous gira , down falls the bird ; and then Boldly the skulking murderer stalks forth ,
Exulting that he devastateth earth Of so much beauty . By education men Will learn to love the beautiful ; the strong-Learn to protect the weak ; and each rare bird Be welcomed wherever it is seen or heard ;
And all men scorn to do the poor birds wrong . Man , as the chief of every living thing , Should study happiness on all to bring . Rose Cottage , Stoltesley .
