		Professor Gaius Laelius went around the room and asked each of the few students in the room to tell him how many years of Latin they had taken in high school and to what extent they felt comfortable with the language.
		It seems the knowledge that Laelius thought necessary for taking the class was a basic understanding of grammar, syntax, and a moderate vocabulary, which all of us who were taking the class indeed had proficiently mastered.
		Laelius wanted us to "read the Latin"; he was trying to make the point that what our English translation says is not as important as reading and understanding the Latin in Latin.

		Laelius concedes that such refined analysis of human perfection may capture a certain truth (fortasse vere), but it is not very useful for ordinary purposes and with human beings as we know them.
		Laelius presents friendship as a constitutive element in a happiness that is truly human and rightly sought (83).
		This but sets the scene for Laelius observing that the "law of our life and nature" is such that one generation follows upon another, that generations do not in their entirety drop away at once and that rather they interpenetrate through the friendships of the young with the old.

		In the Laelius, Cicero reflects on the bond of friendship and its presence and stature in the natural universe.
		Thus, the De Amicitia is as much a celebration of Laelius and Africanus as statesmen, orators, soldiers, and men of letters as it is of the human bond of friendship so highly esteemed by the Stoic philosophers.
		Laelius is portrayed as fully experiencing the tragic loss but, as becomes a good philosopher, not distracted with grief.
