[Free Reformed University] accepted the asking of [student's name] for the highest honours Explanation: This is the more literal rendering of your question, so that you can understand it and then put it in the words you like. Have a look to this question for a better understanding: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/903164 When translating an accusative gerundive, usually emphasis is made on the verb. See, for example, this website http://www.usu.edu/markdamen/Latin1000/Chapters/39ch.htm The following expression exists In Classical latin: admittere aliquem ad honores (Caesar, Suetonius), to admit someone to honours, so I would freely translate "admitted [student's name] to the highest honours" |
