Collegisse juvat: The full sentence, in the first ode of

James Russell Lowell

Horace, reads, "Curriculo pulverem Olympicum collegisse juvat." (It is

a pleasure to have collected the dust of Olympus on one's chariot

wheels.) The allusion is to the Olympic games, the most celebrated

festival of Greece. Lowell puns upon the word _collegisse_ with his

own coinage, which may have the double meaning of _going to college_

and _collecting._
