We deeply admire many remarkable institutions around the world. Yet to preserve the intimacy and depth of our community, eligibility is limited to a carefully chosen consortium of universities. This selection is guided not only by research and academic excellence, but also by a shared heritage—rooted in the Greek and Latin classical traditions that trace back to Oxford—and by long-standing research partnerships among these institutions.
