A Presidential
Conversation
on the
State of
the College
�K N OW T H YSE LF
What is the state of St. John’s College in
2024? This “report,” done in characteristically
contrarian St. John’s style, is really a
conversation and attempts to answer that
question with honesty and complexity.
To do so, one must frst look back to the year
2016, when the college faced an existential
fnancial crisis. President Roosevelt had just
been appointed to the collegewide presidency
and together with the Board of Visitors
and Governors, the college launched the
$300 million Freeing Minds campaign alongside
a signifcant reduction in tuition. Now, eight
years later, President Roosevelt will soon retire
and President Demleitner will assume the
collegewide presidency. To help the college
community understand the last eight years,
the two presidents sat down in conversation
to discuss how the college has changed during
this time, how it has remained the same,
what challenges and opportunities lie ahead—
and how the college’s alumni, donors, and
friends can contribute to the continuing vitality
of St. John’s.

�K N OW T H YSE LF
NORA DEMLEITNER: Mark, when you began your presidency in 2016, the college was in fnancial turmoil. One of the
frst publications I read when I came to St. John’s was the
2017 report on the state of the college. When I compare
the St. John’s of then to the St. John’s of today, I’m struck
by how much is different and how much remains the
same. Tuition is signifcantly lower, not higher, which is an
almost unbelievable feat. There is a stronger support system for students overall, better career development, and
more resources for student health and well-being. These
changes surround and strengthen our beautiful center of
gravity, the Program, which is very much the same.
MARK ROOSEVELT: There is no question that what is constant is the academic Program. There have been small
changes, and there always should be small changes, but
anybody from the college’s past could come to campus
today and recognize the college, recognize our Program,
immediately. That’s a truth about St. John’s that I want to
emphasize. The college’s heart is still in the classroom.
Externally, we’ve made progress on a variety of fronts,
and to do that we had to acknowledge the changes that
have been happening in higher education, how they impact
all colleges except for the richest, and certainly how they
impact us. The reason we got into the fnancial trouble
you mentioned is that we misunderstood those changes.
We thought the 2008 recession was a temporary anomaly.
What we were experiencing was actually a sea change in
fnancial conditions for colleges and universities. Simply
put, students cannot pay as much as earlier generations.
This means we get about $10 million less from students
than we did in the early 2000s.
With infation that would be closer to $14 or $15 million, and when you have a $50 million operating budget,
which is essentially what we spend to run the college, the
loss of so much student-derived revenue is extraordinarily challenging. Once we came to terms with that, we were
able to accept what we had to do about it. I take great pride
in how the community responded. It meant cuts in staff
and compensation. It meant we had to hold steady for a
3
�K N OW T H YSE LF
few years with the number of faculty we had, because we
could not afford to replace those who retired. It was diffcult and painful, but there was widespread acceptance that
all these things had to be done to protect the college, so
we could get our feet back on the ground and move from a
structural defcit to a balanced budget—which is still precarious, very precarious. In fact, unfortunately, we are
moving back toward defcits.
At the same time, we had to confront the fact that we
had at least $150 million in deferred maintenance that
needed to be addressed and not enough supports in place
for student success. I am very proud of the progress we
have made in both areas. We’ve been able to renovate
three of our largest buildings, and we have secured fnancing for a fourth. Our students also have far more robust
support along the continuum, from the time they apply
to when they graduate—and even after in terms of career
support.
ND: We know that the number of high school students is
expected to decline rather precipitously in many parts of
the United States, beginning in 2026. In your view, how
prepared is St. John’s for what is likely to be a protracted
period of very intense competition among colleges?
“We have a tremendous
advantage in knowing
who we are and believing
in who we are.”
MR: I want to emphasize something important: we have a
tremendous advantage in knowing who we are and believing in who we are.
Recruiting our students will be more diffcult now, with
fewer young people going to college, but our audience has
always been a small one. Finding the right students has
always been a challenge. But we know who we are, and we
know we are different from every other college.
You have heard me say in my convocation speech that
we are as different from Oberlin, Pomona, and Middlebury
as they are from Ohio State. I believe that, and I think our
differences are important. We ask students to work outside
their comfort zone, to do advanced work in math, science,
literature, and philosophy. Nobody else does that. We ask
our faculty to teach across the curriculum. God knows

“We ask students to work
outside their comfort zone,
to do advanced work in
math, science, literature,
and philosophy. Nobody
else does that. We ask our
faculty to teach across
the curriculum. God knows
nobody else does that.”
nobody else does that. I think our position is clear, and I
think our differences are clear.
Now does that mean we aren’t taking proactive steps
to safeguard the college? No. We are much better prepared
for a competitive environment than we were in 2016. For
one thing, we are spending less time on recruitment strategies that don’t bring students to the college and focusing
on those that do. For example, our most reliable pipeline is
Summer Academy, our immersive program for high school
students, so we expanded its capacity and saw record
participation this year. On the other hand, the U.S. News
& World Report and all the other spurious ratings systems
don’t bring students to St. John’s. It’s a priority for other
colleges to boost their ratings. It isn’t for us.
ND: We must also acknowledge the public drumbeat
against higher education itself. We are starting to see it
in job ads, with employers—and billionaires—telling prospective students they don’t need a degree, just skills and
expertise. The low unemployment rate and higher minimum wage and starting salaries also make it easier, and
tempting, for people to forego college and go straight into
the labor market.
Add to that the challenge of people thinking the liberal arts won’t get them, career-wise, where they want to
be. There is a perception that a liberal education is very
impractical and doesn’t bring the immediate fnancial
returns people expect after four years in college. Now we
know this isn’t true mid- and long-term because we know
our alumni, and we see the impact they have and their
accomplishments, but that misperception persists.
“I frmly believe that people,
or at least a sizeable subset of
people, are going to rebel
against the commodifcation
of education.”
MR: There are going to be times of disquiet and change,
times of questioning the value of higher education, and we
are living in one of those times. But let me say this: I am
convinced the pendulum—the thinking about the liberal
arts and the desire for civil conversation—will swing back
in our direction, not that St. John’s would change even if
it didn’t. I frmly believe that people, or at least a sizeable
5
�K N OW T H YSE LF
subset of people, are going to rebel against the commodifcation of education.
ND: There is a stirring for civil conversation. Stringfellow
Barr made that observation back in 1968 in his Notes on
Dialogue. He was bemoaning the absence of serious and
deep conversation in the media when he wrote that “a
lonely crowd hungers for dialogue.”
MR: He was right, and I think the days ahead will prove
that once again. In the meantime, we aren’t going to waver.
We aren’t going to change based on the sentiments of a
given moment in time. We believe that the liberal arts are
very much of value, as they always were and ever will be.
I believe people will always want to fnd meaning in
their lives, to fnd meaning in the world, to ask the big
questions, to ask what the heck we are doing here and how
we can understand ourselves as best as possible. Those
conversations are what St. John’s is about, so we have, and
this bears repeating, a huge advantage in knowing who we
are, loving who we are, respecting and believing in who
we are. When you believe in who you are and have alumni
who support you, the shifting tides of public opinion on the
liberal arts matter less. They matter a lot less.
ND: I would double down on this. We need to step into our
leadership as a college that offers a truly liberal education.
Most people have a very inchoate and often incoherent sense of what the liberal arts and sciences are. It’s not
about leading people into believing something or drawing certain conclusions but making it possible for them to
draw conclusions for themselves through deep thinking
and conversation. Our alumni chose Freeing Minds as the
name of our fundraising campaign because that is what we
are doing, we are creating independent minds.
What is especially relevant about Barr’s comment is
that when he talks about genuine dialogue, he envisions
this college as the place where it can be found. That is
exactly what I see on this campus today, and it is remarkable. At a time that’s domestically and internationally

fraught, our students have civil conversations about consequential issues. Those conversations aren’t always perfect, emotions sometimes get the better of students—and
the rest of us—but there’s no screaming, there’s no sloganeering. There is thoughtful conversation. That is not
what we’re seeing in corners of higher education and other parts of society.
MR: It certainly isn’t what comes across the airwaves.
And you’re right, it isn’t what we are seeing on some college campuses.
ND: That means how we educate students is profoundly transformative. Our discussion-based seminars force
people to think deeply and critically, to form their opinions in a collaborative way, and to disagree without being
disagreeable. Their opinions might be about Plato, or about
the values of justice and rationality, or they might be about
the broader societal and economic issues of the day.
I learned this early on, at the end of my second
month at the college, when Russia invaded Ukraine, and
I received a heartbreaking email from a student who had
begun to tie seminar readings and conversations to a world
event that impacted him directly. Suddenly the questions
posed by the texts became very personal: What is worth
dying for? When, if ever, should your belief in nationhood,
in democracy, be more important than your own life? The
readings and the conversations anchored his insights
into those questions and provided the tools to think them
through. Hearing all of that was incredibly moving for me
and a stark demonstration of the power of our education.
It was also a reminder of this education’s fundamental
purpose. More people should be aware that Stringfellow
Barr and Scott Buchanan conceived of this curriculum and
way of teaching as a bulwark against fascism, which was
on the rise globally in 1937. They visualized St. John’s as
offering the kind of education that would lay the foundation for participation in a free and democratic society—and
it does. It produces citizens who have thoughtfully formed
their values and their positions, and when they are called

upon by society to make decisions, they can do so in an
educated manner. I want more people to hear this message
because it is crucial. For democracy to work, we need an
educated citizenry, and no college offers a better education
than St. John’s.
MR: We help people begin the process of developing a personal philosophy, a way of looking at the world that reduces the risk of reckless opinions. I hear that from students.
They tell me they’ve begun to make some sense of the
world and their place in the world. I view this as something
essential that the college does for students.
ND: What is also essential, and very beautiful, is that this is
not an elite education. It is an education for all.
“I don’t understand that type
of elitism, that arrogance,
and I am proud that St. John’s
is not like that.”
MR: I would take offense if I heard someone describe
St. John’s as elite. I think that’s an insult masquerading as
a compliment. St. John’s is such a different place, and we
have a different understanding of what it means to be elite
and what it means to be prestigious, and we are not very
interested in the common understanding of those terms.
Most other schools of our quality wouldn’t take some
of the students we accept, students who have struggled
in high school, who didn’t feel at home in high school or
didn’t feel challenged. We take students who are searching
for something very different than the traditional approach
to learning.
And when we accept students other institutions deem
“risky,” we frequently fnd they are excellent citizens of the
college. They found their home. They found their tribe.
They found a place that honors who they are and what they
want from their education.
I would never want to turn away those students. I don’t
even understand the world some institutions live in where
they proudly reject 96 percent of their applicants. I don’t
understand that type of elitism, that arrogance, and I am
proud that St. John’s is not like that.
9
�K N OW T H YSE LF
ND: It is still incredible to me that we have students who
come to us from other schools and are willing to start
over, to begin again as freshmen, despite the social and
fnancial costs. Imagine giving up a year of tuition, maybe more, when you get no advanced standing for doing so.
That says a lot to me about the kind of education St. John’s
offers and the kind of students who choose it. They want
to be challenged. They want to work hard, both individually and together, and we know they will because our academic strength is unsurpassed. They want to be engaged,
so they come to St. John’s and often fnd they don’t want to
leave the classroom or the conversation. I am mesmerized
by that because it just doesn’t happen anywhere else.
MR: It all goes back to knowing and appreciating who we
are and what makes us different.
Like I said before, I think the pendulum will swing back
in our direction, and I think, or at least I hope, that there
will be a redefning of terms like “prestigious” and “elite.”
Now I will admit that the college succumbed for far too
long to prestige pricing, which is an unjustifably high tuition price meant to signal worth. Our tuition doesn’t convey our worth, so we rejected that concept, and I’m very
grateful that our community gave us the means to do that
through their extraordinary philanthropy. We’ve had to
raise tuition a little since the pandemic because of the
related infation, but as you pointed out, it is still substantially lower today than it was a decade ago.
ND: I think the college’s rejection of prestige pricing
reveals just how seriously we take the idea of an education
for all.
When Roosevelt Montás visited St. John’s in 2022 to
talk about his book, Rescuing Socrates, he remarked on how
the kind of education we offer can touch anyone of any
race, any gender, any income, any background. We have
been living that mission over time. It’s not something we
simply talk about, and it’s not something we acted on just
once. In the last ten years especially, we have expanded

access to the college in ways we hadn’t been able to do
before. We have more international students, more students of color, more students at every step on the socioeconomic ladder. We have more students in the Graduate
Institute, taking part in conversations from around the
world and across generations.
I want us to be proud of that, but at the same time be
mindful of the ongoing impact of economic inequality. It is
a deeply entrenched problem, nationally and globally, and
despite our incredible tuition cut, we are still expensive to
most of our applicants.
“Not only are we facing the
ramifcations of inequality,
but we’re also dealing
with the fact that families
have fewer resources
to contribute to college
than they used to.”
MR: You raise a good point. Not only are we facing the ramifcations of inequality, but we’re also dealing with the fact
that families have fewer resources to contribute to college
than they used to. Something that surprises a lot of people is that our students are less affuent than most. Many
people still imagine our curriculum as being more attractive to upper-income students. It simply isn’t true. About
95 percent of our students receive fnancial aid. That’s an
extraordinary number. More than 20 percent of our students are eligible for Federal Pell Grants. The college is
very fortunate to have received a campaign gift from the
Jay Pritzker Foundation that allows us to match those
grants, dollar for dollar.
Nevertheless, we are still not able to meet full need,
and we lose a lot of good students to other colleges because
they can get more fnancial support.
It was crucial that we shift from a fnancial model that
is based on student-derived revenue to one where philanthropy is at the center. We were right to make that change
and to launch a campaign that would allow us to do it.
Donors have told me, individually, that they gave a heck
of a lot more to the campaign than they planned on, and I
know that would not be the case if we weren’t such a distinctive place and had not taken the bold step to cut our
tuition by one-third.
11
�K N OW T H YSE LF
ND: Now that the campaign is complete, what do you
think our alumni need to know about the status of our
fnancial model?
“Alumni need to know that
the college requires,
and will always require,
very signifcant philanthropy.”
MR: Alumni need to know that the college requires, and
will always require, very signifcant philanthropy. Is it
because the college is spending too much money? Not at
all. We have controlled costs very well. If we look at the
last ten years, our expenses have gone up an average of
1.3 percent a year, which is far below the rate of infation.
If we look at our revenues, however, we are getting $10 million less from students. To make up for that, we needed to
add at least $200 million to our endowment. Freeing Minds
added $80 million, along with a $35 million gift that was
not counted toward the campaign. This is wonderful and
certainly impactful, but it’s just over half of what we need,
so we still have a long way to go. We’re going to get there
but will likely run defcits until we do.
ND: You probably have an idea of the question I’m about to
ask next, don’t you?
M R : I’m guessing it ’s this one: How on earth could
St. John’s raise $325 million and still have fnancial challenges? That’s the question we’re hearing, and it deserves
a clear answer.
ND: That’s exactly the question I had in mind.
MR: Let me start by acknowledging that Freeing Minds
was a huge success. For a college the size of St. John’s to
raise $325 million is remarkable. It really is. Some fne
colleges that are much larger and have more alumni than
St. John’s have raised less. And that says a lot, a whole lot,
about the depth of the love our alumni and friends have for
this education.
What people need to understand is that only $200 million has been received at this point because $125 million
came in as pledged gifts. In other words, we will receive
those gifts in the future. Some of it will arrive over the

next few years, and some of it will come later from estate
plans. Not all of it will go into the endowment, but $82 million will. We also received some commitments outside of
the campaign that will raise that fgure to $100 million or
more. That gets us closer to where we need to be. It’s just
going to take time to get there.
ND: Let’s talk about the money that has come in the door,
because our alumni are curious about where that money
has gone. We’ve added $80 million to the endowment, and
that leaves $120 million we need to account for, right?
MR: Right.
ND: I’d like to start with the $50 million that went toward
campus improvements, because as we speak I am enjoying
our beautifully renovated Mellon Hall, and watching students stream by, absorbed in conversation. Mellon is our
main academic building and the social and creative heart
of the Annapolis campus. At 70 years of age, it is also relatively young, so you can only imagine the work required
to bring our older facilities up to modern standards.
A few years ago, we repaired our most historic building,
McDowell, and we are almost done renovating our largest residence hall, Edensword Hall, formerly known as
Campbell Hall.
MR: Work is now beginning on Santa Fe’s largest building,
the Pritzker Student Center, which hasn’t had any major
improvements in six decades. The $50 million we invested
in our campuses might raise some eyebrows, but the reality is that we had, and still have, a lot of deferred maintenance to address. So the college is very fortunate to have
supporters who chose to direct their campaign gifts to
these improvements—which are by no means plush. I want
to stress that. I also want to stress that we have more work
to do, and new gifts will be crucial. Thankfully the Jay
Pritzker Foundation has given us a vehicle, the Pritzker
Challenge, for getting this work done.
14
�K N OW T H YSE LF
ND: So that’s $50 million. And then there were the defcits.
MR: Exactly. I’d ask people to remember the year 2016,
when we realized just how high our defcits were. $12 million annually. We were staring into what seemed like an
abyss. And we began to envision a campaign that would
help us steer the ship into calmer waters. So we struck a
deal. Our board—and in particular two magnanimous
donors, Ron Fielding and Warren Spector—would agree
to seed the campaign with their gifts if management
pledged to get the defcit to zero by year fve. We did it, and
it took about $25 million to get there, with the gifts from
Ron and Warren accounting for about half that fgure. It
might not be a fashy way to spend money, but it was absolutely imperative that we climb out of the hole we were
in and assure other donors that their gifts would go to
better things.
N D : And here is where the story gets more exciting
because the remaining gifts allowed us to do all the things
we have been talking about and celebrating over the past
eight years, like expanding our student supports.
“Before we launched the
campaign, we had extensive
conversations with our alumni,
and they were very consistent
and clear. They wanted us to
fx what they saw as an
unsupportive environment.”
MR: Before we launched the campaign, we had extensive
conversations with our alumni, and they were very consistent and clear. They wanted us to fx what they saw
as an unsupportive environment. They told us that students needed more academic and mental health supports,
they needed better career development and pathways to
internships and jobs, and they needed to know that they
belonged at the college regardless of their gender, race,
religion, or economic situations. And so we got to work on
those things, building up the scaffolding that would support our very rigorous Program.
ND: About $25 million came from gifts to the Annual Fund,
which feed into our operating budget and beneft every
student’s fnancial, emotional, academic, and professional needs. Another $20 million came from donors who
15
�K N OW T H YSE LF
earmarked their gifts for specifc initiatives that our budget couldn’t accommodate.
“We are waiting on
$125 million from pledges
and planned gifts.
Until that money arrives,
there will be years when
we run defcits.”
MR: That’s right. We could have asked our donors to direct
all their gifts to the endowment, which would give us longterm stability, but then we wouldn’t have been able to
address the support issues that so badly needed addressing. And so instead, we built out the programs we needed
like the Pritzker Bridge Program. We built out the Santa
Fe Offce of Personal and Professional Development, something the Santa Fe campus desperately needed. And we
grew our academic and mental health supports. Some
of this work was expensive, but luckily we found donors
who were willing to get these initiatives off the ground so
we could work on growing our endowment and balancing
our budget.
And that gets us to where we are today. The campaign
is over, we’ve invested much of the money we received
into student support programs, and we invested much of
the money into the endowment. We are seeing the impact,
which is tremendous—but now we have these programs
that we need to continue supporting, and we are waiting
on $125 million from pledges and planned gifts. Until that
money arrives, there will be years when we run defcits.
ND: I would add that we hope to see more consistent participation in our Annual Fund. We all have a stake in preserving St. John’s in perpetuity, but it is important that we
balance the need to grow our endowment with the need to
support existing students.
I also want to reiterate what you said about the impact
of giving, because it is indeed tremendous, and it is not
something you and I can talk about too much. Our alumni
and friends need to know that it is their gifts that allow us
to fulfll our mission and to live up to who we say we are.
By practically every metric we measure, our current freshman class is the most diverse in years, and without consistent giving, the cultural and socioeconomic makeup of the
class would look very different.
16
�K N OW T H YSE LF
MR: I’ve already mentioned how proud I am of our students,
but I’ll say it again. They are seekers. They want something
different in an education, and they want something different in a college. Fewer and fewer students have the means
to afford St. John’s, which is why we had to ask for support
and why we must continue to ask.
ND: I’d like to shift the conversation at this point, because
I don’t want to ignore the fact that fnancial barriers aren’t
the only ones our students face, and they aren’t the only
ones we need to address. There are social and cultural barriers, perceived barriers related to career choices, and barriers to completing an application.
I’m going to single out the latter because our discussion-based application, which we launched this year as a
supplement to the traditional application, is such a wonderful example of how we are removing barriers in ways
that are true to who we are. It is already yielding some very
strong applicants who are attracted to a college where the
application refects the ethos of the institution. This new
format can also help students avoid the crazy rat race of
the college application process, which often tells us very
little about what a student can bring to the classroom.
MR: It really is appalling that we have colleges and universities that reject almost everyone who wants to go there
and are proud of that, and these same institutions are then
held up to the public as being the best. They aren’t necessarily the best. I went to one of those universities. I think
St. John’s is far more rigorous.
ND: As I said earlier, no college offers a better education
than St. John’s. That is why I would like to see the college gain more self-assurance. We need to step out of the
shadows and into the limelight. The college deserves that.
The college deserves to take its place in higher education proudly, rightfully, and strongly. We are a gem. Our
local Maryland state senator referred to us as “a gem in
Annapolis and in Maryland.”
17

I want there to be more people who have heard of this
college as a beacon of American education and a place
where civil discourse is not just practiced but lived. I
want people to know about all the opportunities that are
available to the larger community, including Summer
and Winter Classics and of course the Graduate Institute.
No longer should we encounter scores of people who
begin their sentences with, “If only I had known about
St. John’s ….” Our alumni, especially, could be—and often
are—vocal ambassadors. So many of our students say
they came to St. John’s because the best teacher they ever
had or the most interesting person they ever met went to
St. John’s and was willing to talk about it.
Prospective students aren’t the only ones listening. We
are also seeing some top-tier universities take a closer
look at what our students can bring to their graduate programs. Over the past few years, we have formed partnerships with some highly regarded—I am not going to use the
word elite—institutions that will guarantee our students a
tuition discount and, in some cases, offer early admission
or other benefts. Among them are Boston University’s
School of Public Health, the University of Maryland’s Carey
School of Law, and Notre Dame of Maryland University’s
School of Education. We are working on some other relationships, and what is notable is that some of these institutions approached us, not the other way around. They asked
to be our partners, to help get our students into their graduate programs, because they are starting to hear about
St. John’s, and they appreciate what our students offer.
And what our students offer are the things modern
society needs most, including the ability to communicate
at a time when everyone uses emojis.
“I would like to see the college
gain more self-assurance.
We need to step out of the
shadows and into the limelight.
I want there to be more
people who have heard
of this college as a beacon of
American education and a
place where civil discourse is
not just practiced but lived.”
MR: I’m not entirely sure what an emoji is or why anyone
would want to use it. It sounds dangerous to me.
ND: Now let’s not get carried away, Mark! I’ll plead guilty to
using them. They are a part of what passes for communication in modern society, although that isn’t the communication skill employers ask for. There was a recent study

in which employers stated that what they miss in new
employees is their ability to communicate orally. Now, if
there’s one thing you learn at St. John’s, it’s to communicate orally. Collaborating, getting to the core of a problem,
leading a group around the seminar table, doing it calmly
and rationally, these are the kinds of abilities our society
needs and employers want.
We are producing future-proof alumni, and that is particularly important when we are increasingly impacted by
the growth of artifcial intelligence.
“I really believe that
when you’ve got a situation
where the world has
gone so far in the wrong
direction, there must
be people and institutions
that question what passes
for ‘progress.’”
MR: I’m not sure how I feel about artifcial intelligence,
but I am convinced that people should question it, along
with the rest of modern technology-driven culture,
more deeply.
I was looking at Zero at the Bone: 50 Entries Against
Despair by the poet and Yale professor Christian Wiman,
who is a fascinating character to me. He says, “One grows
so tired in American public life of the certitudes and platitudes, the megaphone mouths and stadium praise, infuencers and effuencers and the whole tsunami of slop that
comes pouring into our lives like toxic sludge.”
I really believe that when you’ve got a situation where
the world has gone so far in the wrong direction, there
must be people and institutions that question what passes
for “progress.” You’ve tapped into it with AI and this amazing burst of technology that will have so many negatives
and, yes, some positives as well. Somebody needs to ask
why we are going in that direction, is it right to go in that
direction, and do I want my life to go in that direction?
Among the many things I love about this college is that
so many people are willing to ask those questions. I think
we have more people on our faculty here in Santa Fe who
don’t own cell phones than any other institution I know of,
except perhaps a rabbinical college. It’s more complicated for our students because the sway and the pull and the
demands of modern culture are astronomical and resisting them is diffcult. If we help them think through that,
they can make choices about what they want to participate
19
�K N OW T H YSE LF
in and what they do not want to participate in, and that is
of enormous value.
ND: I think we share some of the same visceral reactions
and anxieties. Maybe there’s a slightly different way to look
at it though, and that’s to recognize that the kind of education we offer, one that helps students to clarify their own
values, is the best preparation for creating a meaningful
life in the modern world.
MR: I very much believe that St. John’s helps students
make choices that are consistent with their own values and
not the values imposed on them by others.
I would even go one step further and say that we help
students resist trends, resist mainstream notions of progress, resist mainstream notions of what it means to build a
“successful” life. That’s very diffcult to do, and I think our
students are better able to do it than most.
ND: Can I point out a word choice you made? You said,
“resist” trends. I would say that we help students to “question” trends. They should be critically examined like
everything else, and the ability to do that is what makes
this education ideally suited for modern times. It is why,
and people outside of St. John’s would probably be quite
surprised to hear this, we have a lot of alumni who have
gone into emerging industries, including the tech feld, and
excel at many different levels.
Regardless of how you and I feel about the rise of AI,
this generation will have to ask what it means to be human,
what it means to think or create or imagine. I am comforted by the fact that it will be our students and alumni who
shape those answers, and they will do it thoughtfully, with
all the tools the college has given them. That will be good
for all of us.
MR: I do think a major mistake we have made as a species
is thinking that what is good for us is good for the world.
ND: You don’t think that’s true?
20
�K N OW T H YSE LF
MR: No, it isn’t true. We need to reverse that paradigm. Do
you think it’s true?
ND: Not when considering how great we are at damaging
the planet. I think this is the kind of question, the kind
of humbling question, that more people need to ask. And
St. John’s is the right college in which to ask it.
MR: I’m glad you raised the topic of humility. If we’re going
to solve the problems we face, I’m convinced we need a
fundamental shift in human psychology from arrogance
and hubris to humility.
My years at St. John’s have helped me refect very differently on education and its purpose. And it has made me
value what I think a liberal arts education is supposed to
inculcate, differently. I deeply believe that the major outcome of a liberal arts education should be humility.
We know we can have glimmers of understanding. We
also know that what we don’t know dwarfs what we do
know. We don’t know why we’re on this planet. We don’t
know what our lives were intended to be or what our species is intended to be. One of the best things St. John’s does
for students is help them understand how important it is
to increase our knowledge, and how limited it is even at
its peak.
ND: I agree with you completely, but I’m going to throw
open a door at this point because I think that’s true for
St. John’s as well. As a college, we need to accept the limits
of our own understanding and continue asking questions
about who we are and how we can stay true to who we are.
In some respects, it’s a rhetorical question. The obvious
answer is to do exactly what we intend to do, and that is
to stay on the path we have been on for 90 years, the path
that produces independent, rational thinkers. But staying
true to who we are can also mean strengthening some other areas that are important.
MR: What would be some examples?
21
�K N OW T H YSE LF
“One question
we need to ask
is whether we
are truly a studentcentered college.
Do we have
a culture that
attracts students to
liberal education
and helps
them flourish?”
— NORA DE M LEIT N E R
22
�K N OW T H YSE LF
ND: Well, one question we need to ask is whether we are
truly a student-centered college. Do we have a culture that
attracts students to liberal education and helps them fourish at the college and beyond?
MR: How would you answer that?
ND: I would say that we aren’t at the point where we can
answer those questions with a fat out “yes.”
For starters, we need to make sure that our campuses and our classrooms are places that our students feel
comfortable calling home for four years, places they want
to return to as alumni. Our students want to be challenged academically, but they also want to be in a place
that accepts who they are and the backgrounds they bring
with them.
I think we can take heart in how well we already do in
this respect. When our students dress differently or wear
their hair differently than what fashion dictates, nobody
turns around, nobody points fngers, and that is empowering. But the college cannot be complacent. A diverse student body in a small community can leave some students
feeling excluded. Like you said, we have students who tell
us they found their tribe here. It’s going to take an ongoing effort to ensure this remains the case, regardless of
one’s background.
We also need to get students thinking about how a
meaningful life can include meaningful work and explain
how the college can help them prepare to make that a
reality. I mentioned earlier that students face barriers to
enrollment that go beyond the fnancial and this is one of
them. Some of our students have a clear idea of what they
want to do for a career and will look to other colleges if
they don’t think St. John’s will give them a practical start.
My hope, my plan, is that we can open more doors to specifc careers and increase the information we provide to
students about the opportunities they have while they are
here. They need to know, for example, that we can guarantee them at least one paid internship, and we will help
23
“We also need to get
students thinking about
how a meaningful life
can include meaningful
work and explain how
the college can help
them prepare to make
that a reality.”
�K N OW T H YSE LF
them pay for at least some of the prerequisite courses they
might need for graduate or professional school.
Now we all understand that many of those students are
going to completely change their minds, and that is okay.
That is the beauty of this education. It encourages you to
experiment with life and with ways of living. Because we
are encouraging students to examine themselves so deeply,
some will inevitably make career choices they would not
have made at a college where they would have been asked
to specialize early.
I do want to acknowledge that these are areas where
the college has really turned things around over the
past few years, but we need to keep asking where we
can improve.
MR: Thanks. I think we have made a great deal of progress. And the college has gotten better at asking our alumni for input.
ND: Our alumni know full well what ails the college. We
still see that today. There might be slight variations on certain positions, but as a core, our alumni have frm opinions
on what needs to change and what doesn’t.
MR: And this isn’t new work. It’s work we have been doing
for the past eight years.
ND: Right. The Pritzker Bridge Program is a good example. We’ve long known that the college loses more students in their freshman year than at any other time, so we
launched a program to help incoming students adapt better to the rigors of the college. Now the percentage of freshmen who return as sophomores is trending higher.
Health and wellness would be another example—and
this goes back to our earlier discussion of trends and how
to thoughtfully assess them. We did not have particularly
good wellness or mental health offerings in place before
2016, and by that point we already knew that ever more
young people were struggling with mental health issues.
24
�K N OW T H YSE LF
This was not a passing fad but a societal problem. The college needed to make changes and did.
Thoughtful improvements are a necessary part of
ensuring that the Program is not just preserved but
kept strong.
MR: This conversation raises a serious issue, because we
cannot be a student-centered college, and we certainly
cannot be a strong college, without tutors. Alumni probably don’t realize this, but right now the starting salary for
faculty at St. John’s is only $58,000. Think about that for a
moment. That is lower than almost all the liberal arts colleges we like to consider our peers.
ND: And that isn’t a reasonable salary for anyone who
hopes to live in Annapolis or Santa Fe, which are very
expensive cities.
MR: It really isn’t, and it’s terribly unfair to ask our faculty
and staff to buy into what we do at St. John’s, to believe in
and love what we do, and then have them make unreasonable sacrifces to work here.
ND: But we do have a plan.
MR: We do. Some board members and other generous folks
were kind enough to tell me they wanted to do something
to honor my retirement, and together we realized that if
we didn’t use this opportunity to create a fund for salary
increases, then there probably wouldn’t be any. This fund
will allow St. John’s to increase our starting faculty salaries to $70,000 this year and to increase all salaries by
about 2.5 percent every year for six years thereafter for a
total increase of 18 percent, without adding to our operating budget, which is running a defcit again.
ND: I believe we have about $8 million raised so far, correct?
M R: That’s right, and we’re aiming for $10 million.
Remember this is what is called an “expiring” fund, so all
25
�K N OW T H YSE LF
the money in it will be expended. Our belief is that by the
time the fund is depleted in seven years, our operating
budget will be able to absorb these raises. Why do we think
that? Because we have over $100 million in gifts coming to
the endowment and we have a community of supporters
who have shown a willingness to use their philanthropy to
get things done. It just needs to continue. We’ve been successful, but we can’t declare victory. Very few colleges can,
except the wealthiest. And St. John’s is not a wealthy college, although we are by no means a poor one either.
ND: What we are is a grateful college.
MR: Well said. Deeply grateful. We’ve asked people to do
a lot of hard things during my time here. And I’m just
amazed at how they have responded. I’m amazed at the
goodwill of the faculty and staff toward reductions we had
to make and the generosity of donors who have made it a
priority to care for the college they love. It’s been a real
community effort.
ND: This would be the right time to mention your retirement portrait, which I understand is … different.
“I’m amazed at the goodwill
of the faculty and staff
toward reductions we had
to make and the generosity
of donors who have made it
a priority to care for the
college they love. It’s been a
real community effort.”
MR: It is, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Anyone who has
ever been to our campuses has probably seen the portraits
of our longer-serving past presidents in McDowell Hall
in Annapolis and in the Weigle Hall stairwell in Santa Fe.
When I was asked how I wanted my portrait done, I knew
that I did not want to go the oil painting route. What I got
was a group photograph of me amongst many of my colleagues, taken on the grassy knoll here in Santa Fe with a
drone. Everyone in the picture has contributed to putting
this college on stronger footing. Of course there are also a
lot of people, a lot, who should be in that photo and aren’t.
That includes faculty and staff who could not make it, and
our alumni, friends, and donors who give, who continue to
give, to ensure that we can offer this transformative education to many future generations.
26
�K N OW T H YSE LF
ND: If you had to give the college one parting message as
you head into retirement, what would it be?
MR: Well retirement is just a form of commencement, isn’t
it? I don’t think I could do any better than to repeat the best
commencement advice I have ever heard. It came from
tutor Eva Brann, who retired from St. John’s this year after
a remarkable 66-year career with the college.
Her advice? Find a place you love and make it better.
Looking back on my time here, I have grown to love
this place very much. And all I can hope is that during
my eight and a half years here, I made it a stronger and
more supportive place. I love the ethos of this place. I love
what the college stands for, and I love the kind of students
we attract.
To our friends and alumni, all I can ask is that they continue to show their love for the college and understand that
St. John’s is a strong place but also a fragile place. Please
continue with your gifts and your volunteerism. Please
know that you should place great faith in Santa Fe’s incoming president, Walter Sterling, who has been the campus’s
longest serving dean, an alum, a true friend, and one of
the hardest workers and most passionate Johnnies I have
ever known. I know that he would agree with Nora and me
when I share my parting thought:
A lonely crowd really does hunger for dialogue,
and this college needs to be here, always, for exactly
that reason.

�A Profile of St. John's College
The College was founded in 1696 as King
William's School and chartered in 1784 as St.
John's College. It is the third oldest college in the
United States. The Santa Fe campus was opened in
1964. Since the establishment of the Graduate
Institute in 1967, the College has offered both a
bachelor's and master's degree in the liberal arts.
The faculty-student ratio is 1:8. Faculty members
all hold the same rank, and all teach throughout the
curriculum.
St. John's College is coeducational and nondenominational. Undergraduate enrollment is
approximately 400 students on each campus. Typical
freshman classes represent approximately 35 states
and 5 foreign countries. In addition, 100 more
students pursue the Master of Liberal Arts degree
on each campus.
Fifty percent of St. John's students receive
financial assistance, including grant aid from the
College. Most financial awards are based on
demonstrated need.
Seventy-five percent of St. John's undergraduate
alumni attend graduate or professional school. A
recent study ranked St. John's among the top 30
colleges and universities in the nation with respect
to the numbers of Ph.D .s earned by alumni in
relation to the size and number of undergraduate
degrees granted. Moreover, the study found that
the doctoral degrees earned were evenly divided
between the humanities and the sciences.
The Graduate Institute in Annapolis and Santa
Fe offers a year-round, five-segment course of
study modeled after the undergraduate program
which leads to a Master's degree in the liberal arts.
St. John'sendowmentismore than $32 million.
Its yearly budget is more than $20 million. Tuition
costs for 1991-92 are $14,262; room and board
costs are $4,696 .
�THE PRESIDENT S
At St. John's, we have conceived an
idea of a college . This idea, we proudly tell
the world, has less to do with classrooms,
buildings and grounds, and more to do
with a living community of willing learners
who need only the desire to come
together, the commitment to common
inquiry, and, of course, the Books. What
we mean, of course, is not that this
enterprise can succeed without a place to
meet and a staff to maintain it, but rather
that a college is meaningless without a
vision of learning for its own sake and a
curriculum which serves that end. It
sounds simple enough, and if all men and
women were made of spirit alone, this
would be relatively inexpensive to provide.
As it is, however, such an education (even
in the very modest confines of St. John's
College) is frightfully expensive.
We claim that a good education
requires a very small community and a
very large number of tutors relative to the
number of students . We sacrifice economies of scale to provide these conditions
because we know from experience that
they make a real difference. For the most
part, our students and their parents
cannot, by themselves, pay enough to
provide for these conditions. They depend
as well upon the support, commitment
and gifts of many others who believe in
what we do here at St. John's College. A
student paying full tuition still pays less
than two-thirds of the cost of his or her
education. Each of us in this community,
therefore, from students and parents to
faculty and staff, owes a debt of appreciation and gratitude to the College's many
friends and alumni who give each year to
help us continue to fulfill our mission to
provide the best education we can to each
of our students. This is our occasion for
expressing that. Thank you!
We do not have very many new
beginnings at St. John's except, of course,
those beginnings we celebrate each year at
2
Commencement . We characterize
ourselves, after all, as preservers of certain
great traditions . For me, however, this
represents a personal new beginning. I
have been in office since July 1st, just long
enough to recognize the opportunities
and challenges when they present themselves. I am honored to be able to provide
leadership to the College and welcome
both the challenges and the opportunities.
St. John's is ve1y much in my blood. My
desire to serve comes from the heart.
This year, we will be announcing
another new beginning as we prepare to
commence a major capital campaign. Our
purposes are to strengthen our endowment to support our very modest tutor
salaries and our burgeoning financial aid
budget and to help us complete a few
major building renovations and repairs.
Our community of friends and alumni
has shown its support for and commitment to a major development effort. We
are well positioned to begin the effort: the
program has retained its integrity; our
tutors have remained tireless and dedicated; our staff has instilled in us all an
excitement about the opportunities for the
future; our students have preserved the
tradition of learning for its own sake-for
the love of the enterprise.
I invite everyone to join us in this
effort. We welcome your participation in
the coming year, as we honor those
alumni, parents and friends who have
supported us during the 1990-91 academic year.
Christopher B. Nelson
President) Annapolis
�THE PRESIDENTS
Although the world knows that change
isn't always progress, there have been a
number of developments this past year.on
the Santa Fe campus that surely, from
here, look like progress itself.
We put into effect a major increase in
faculty salaries, bringing our tutors to a
level that almost everyone feels is rational
and equitable. We opened our superb new
library, with students, tutors and townspeople moving all the books themselves.
The director of the Shakespeare Folger
Library came out from Washington to be
our dedicatory speaker. We are sending
out a newsletter to thousands of new
friends so that today more people know
about St. John's College and what it does
than ever before. And, in an academic
universe, where colleges are desperately
scrambling for new applications, this year
St. John's College in Santa Fe had more
inquiries, more applications and more
entering freshmen than at any time in its
history. Our graduating class included
both a Watson Fellow and a Rhodes
Scholar. And this year, we will be graduating the largest senior class ever.
Life on campus is thriving. Santa Fe's
much beloved SHAKESPEARE IN THE
PARK moved from its downtown location
to our campus. Despite rain and threats of
rain almost every night, more than five
thousand people came over six weeks to
see TWELFTH NIGHT performed in the
courtyard of the Meem Library.
This campus also became home for the
world-renowned Breadloaf School of
English. Through them, we were able to
bring to this campus such notable writers
as Tony Hillerman and N. Scott Momaday
to teach and to lecture.
This summer also saw the inauguration
of a series of summer seminars for adults.
These seminars were featured by Arthur
Frommer, the noted travel writer, as the
perfect way to expand one's intellectual
horizons while vacationing in one of the
most beautiful places in America.
Our Graduate Institute has been going
full tilt. We had a special seminar for high
school teachers sponsored by The National Endowment for the Humanities and
taught by our Dean. We inaugurated a
new parents' program. If activity is a sign
of life, this past year we were one of the
liveliest places in America. If intellectual
activity is the sign of growth, we were one
of the most progressive places in the
world.
But none of this would be true
progress if it didn't contribute to the
program of studies that has made St.
John's everywhere renowned. I can say
with assurance that the program has never
been healthier and its importance to the
world never more necessary. In a world
where so many professors have become
more and more distant from their students, we have managed to retain our
eight-to-one student to teacher ratio. In a
world where academic research, no matter
how narrow, becomes the measure of
academic success, we still prize teaching
above all. In a world where research
specialities become labeled "the cutting
edge," and thus the fringe becomes the
core, St. John's still requires of all its
students that they confront the greatest
books, the greatest authors and the
greatest ideas of the Western tradition.
Despite the latest academic fashions, we
still believe that rigorous inquiry into the
best of our civilization and the greatest of
our books is the surest road to a liberal
education. In a world that worries about
the "politically correct," we insist on
preserving the hallowed tradition of
political incorrectness, namely, that even
the most radical thoughts can be rethought, discussed, and re-evaluated.
St. John's College in Santa Fe has tried
to do two important things simultaneously
and I think we have succeeded. We have
tried both to grow and to preserve. We
have grown in students, in activity, in our
relations with the community beyond the
college, and in our influence on other
schools and colleges. We have, at the same
time, preserved and strengthened the
program, underscored our commitment to
teaching, and graduated some of the
liveliest minds in higher education. That's
not so bad for a year's work.
(
John Agresto
President) Santa Fe

�THE DEANS
The past year seems to have been, all in
all, a happy one.
The academic discipline of students is a
good index of the spirit of the school. We
have only two college-wide tests, an algebra proficiency and a French reading
knowledge examination. All our students
took these on time and passed them satisfactorily .
Similarly the annual essays, the culminating requirements for our seniors, due
on a Saturday in February at midnight,
were all handed in on time, though the
president had to order the sun to stand
still for two hours. Some of the essays were
remarkable in content and elegant in presentation. Others showed that we have not
yet achieved our aim of helping students
to write as articulately in their papers as
they speak in their seminar discussions.
We continue to try for improveme nt.
An experienced tutor will this year give
special aid to students who write badly,
and will again supervise two student writing assistants to whom students can submit their paper drafts for critiques. Tutors
will continue to require a set number of
papers in their classes. We regard writing
as an integral part even of the laboratory
class.
The chief determinan t of good classes is
the extent to which students make themselves responsible for their conduct. But
the next most important element is the
preparation of the tutors. In August of
1990 we held a week-long session, led by
two experienced tutors, for all people
appointed to the teaching faculty in the
last two years. The program was set up as a
series of sample classes with characteristic
readings. Lunch times were used to raise
pedagogical problems specific to teaching
at this college. The program was, by the
participants' reports, an unqualified success and a splendid initiation to teaching
here.
All year long, and continuing unabated
through the summer, there were formal
and informal study groups. The Adolph
W. Schmidt and the NEH Fellowships
allowed a number of tutors to study the
writings of Nietzsche and of Faraday, both
authors important to the Program. In the
summer the College funded leaders for
two well-attended study groups. One was
the transition from ancient to modern
mathematics, a topic crucial to our mathematics tutorial. The other was a model
4
language tutorial, open to students and
tutors, devoted to reading a Greek play in
the original. This list does not exhaust the
curriculum-inspired special study that went
on between tutors and students . Evidently
our rigorously required Program raises an
appetite for more.
This sort of para-curricular study betokens a very healthy intellectual climate. I
can also report that we worked on improving the Program itself. The music tutorial
of the sophomore year, long a source of
difficulty for tutors to teach and students
to learn, is in the course of coming together. More singing sessions now support
the teaching of theory. Scores, texts, and
tapes are being collected so as to unify the
teaching of the classes and to attract new
tutors by making the sources more accessible. We have, consequently, had more
requests from tutors to be assigned to a
music tutorial than ever before. Our worry
was that our non-depart mental Program
might be developing a music department
is no longer a concern. I should add that
our "Small Chorus," a voluntary group
supplementary to the required freshman
chorus, has had a great year under its own
director.
At a joint meeting of the Instruction
Committee , in which the parts on both
campuses convene (this year at Annapolis),
we undertook a discussion of the language
program, deliberately addressing ourselves
only to the most fundamental questions,
for example: Should the language tutorials
display the coherent developme nt we have
built into our mathematics sequence? The
answer is generally no, and we articulated
some reasons, such as the essentially unsystematic nature of human speech. We also
began work on a possible rearrangement
of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory. One aim is to relieve the junior
laboratory which is simply too full of
material.
Finally the high spirits of the students
were evidenced in "Reality," the traditional student festivity at the end of the
year, which included a candle-light presentation of Euripides' Hippolytuson the
quad and in which the hero raced toward
catastrophe not in a horse-draw n chariot
but on a motorcycle.

�THE DEANS
I am pleased to report that the life of
St. John's College in Santa Fe was healthy
and vigorous during the 1990-91 academic year. Our enrollment was virtually
at capacity, having grown steadily each
year for the past several years. During that
period our faculty also has grown significantly. Five new tutors were appointed for
the fall term, two additional tutors were
appointed for the spring term, and two
more joined us in the summer of 1991.
The faculty in Santa Fe combines the
strength of tutors with a long record of
distinguished service at the College with
the invigorating influence of new tutors
from a variety of academic institutions and
experiences. The faculty in Santa Fe now
totals sixty tutors.
Roughly half the newer members of the
faculty come from the ranks of our alumni,
who have done graduate work and in
many cases taught at other institutions
before returning to us as tutors. The
following alumni have joined our faculty:
Sally Dunn '70 SF, James Forkin '85 SF,
Frank Hunt '68 SF, and Joshua Kates '85
AN. In addition, Charles Fasanaro has
come to us from the University of
Colorado, where he served as assistant
director of the writing program; James
Cohn from the University of Chicago and
the University of Paris, where he wrote a
dissertation on Proust. Dan Hawley was
the director of a program for gifted and
talented students in Virginia and taught at
the University of Virginia. Margaret Kirby
taught German at the University of
Toronto. Gerald Proietti was a classics
scholar at Boston College.
During the summer we were able to
offer a week of classes for new tutors and
for those who only had been with us for a
year or so. These classes were led by Mrs.
Buchenauer and myself. We read selections from many of the most important
books in the Program, including Plato's
Meno, Aristotle's Physics, Euclid's Elements
and Homer's Iliad. The week was useful
in preparing tutors for what they soon
would be facing in their classes and in
providing them a way into the life of the
College.
For the first time in the summer of
1991, an orientation program was planned
for incoming freshmen. This program is
part of a continuing effort to improve the
quality of student life. Health, fitness, and
the development of good personal and
social habits are the necessary conditions
for the success of our intensive intellectual
program. Students serving as resident
assistants in the dormitories are now
receiving more guidance and training than
ever before to help them notice students
with personal difficulties and direct them
to those who can help.
Since the inception of the New
Program in 1937, St. John's has thought
of itself as a talking college. Nevertheless,
we have always maintained a commitment
to written expression. The Senior Essay
often is referred to as the culmination of a
student's work at the College. Because
students come with increasingly weak
writing skills, we are planning a variety of
ways of improving student writing to
prepare them for the real work of the
College, discussing and writing intelligently about books and ideas. In 1991-92,
the student writing assistants will be
supervised by a tutor experienced in
teaching composition. During the year we
will plan systematic help for the freshmen
beginning in 1992-93. A writing handbook has been selected for campus-wide
use by all tutors and students .
For the past several years on the Santa
Fe campus, faculty study groups have been
organized to explore classic works of
Indian and Chinese cultures . The College
recently received a grant to continue
exploration in these areas with a view of
eventually offering some sort of program
of study that would go beyond the
boundaries of our undergraduate curriculum. While the College has made no
commitment to expand its curricular
offerings, we believe it is important that
we learn to address in an informed way the
intellectual accomplishments of the world
beyond western Europe.
Finally, an eight-week segment devoted
to the study of important paintings,
primarily of the Renaissance, has been
built into the senior-year curriculum on
the Santa Fe campus. While the early
accomplishments of this segment have
been many, questions persist of how best
to incorporate the visual arts as part of our
already crowded curriculum. This issue
continues to be a topic of lively discussion
in Santa Fe.

�THE ST. JOHN'S COMMUNITY
The Campuses
Each of St. John's campuses is located in
the capital of its respective state. The thirtysix acre Annapolis campus lies in the Historic
District, adjoining College Creek, one block
from the State House and across the street
from the Naval Academy Yard. The two
hundred and fifty acre Santa Fe campus is in
the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles
from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the
Palace of the Governors.
Each is architecturally part ofits city. The
Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style
introduced in the state during the last century.
TheAnnapoliscampus includesl8th-century
historic homes, 19th-century Victorian
structures, and 20th-century buildings to
complement the older ones. Both campuses
have undertaken significant building projects
in the recent past and both are taking
inventory of future needs, establishing
priorities, and devising plans to achieve them.
With a student body of more than 400
undergraduates and 55 graduate students,
the Santa Fe campus continues to grow and
adapt to the needs ofits students and faculty.
The campus was significantly enhanced, as
was the intellectual life of the entire
community, when theFaithandJohnMee m
Library opened in November of 1990.
Space liberated by the construction ofthe
new library has become available for much
needed faculty offices in the lower floor of
Weigle Hall and in the former music library
in the Fine Arts Building. A new bookstore
will be housed in the old Peterson Library.
To design this facility, the campus has retained
a consultant who, upon his arrival on campus,
raved at the beauty of the proposed space for
the bookstore and claimed that its aesthetic
charm would rival that ofthe best bookstores
in Europe.
The campus planning committee is
reviewing proposals for uses of the old
bookstore space, one of which is to turn it
into a student/faculty coffee house featuring
cappucino, Italian opera, and comfortable
areas for quiet conversation, reading, or
reflection. The Meem Library was
constructed with the need for a student
computer center in mind, and the planning
for such a center is well underway. The Dean
has formed a computer committee to analyze
the needs of the campus and to make
recommendations about how to realize them.
Such a computer center will address what
both students and faculty see as a tremendous
need.
6
During the past year, the Santa Fe
community spent many hours discussing its
two most pressing needs-a dormitory and
a student activities center. Not only does full
enrollment strain existing dormitory facilities,
but more students are looking to live on
campus due to a dramatic increase in local
rents. The proposed new dormitory will
provide modular housing emphasizing the
�THE ST. JOHN'S COMMUNITY
development of community, and providing
an atmosphere conducive to individual living
and study. The facility will house
approximately 40 students with up to 8
students per module. Also included in the
student housing plan are 10 two-bedroom
apartments for students who want the benefit
of apartment living.
The Santa Fe campus planning committee
spent a full year analyzing the need for a
student activities center. In 1987, the faculty
had developed a list of facilities priorities. In
order, those facilities included a library, a
student activities center (gym), and an
auditorium. These priorities were recently
reviewed by the long range planning
committee in preparation for an upcoming
capital campaign. The committee affirmed
that, after the completion of the library, a
student activities center was the next most
pressing need. Such a center would include
facilities for athletics and also for other campus
extracurricular activities offered by the
StudentActivities Organization. These would
include photography, pottery, and drawing/
painting. Studio space would be provided
for activities such as martial arts, yoga, dance,
fencing, and aerobics. The plan includes a
room for billiards, chess, and ping-pong as
well as for traditional athletic endeavors such
as weight training, fitness, basketball,
volleyball, badminton, handball/racquetball,
and indoor soccer.
After completing a new wing on Mellon
Hall ( 1989), constructing the Mitchell
Gallery (1989), restoring McDowell Hall
(1989), and refurbishing the BeneficialHodson Boathouse, the Annapolis campus
spent most of its energy and resources on
maintaining its aging buildings. In addition,
it has made improvements in the cupola
room atop McDowell, in the lighting and
furnishings of the coffee shop, and in the
weight room of the gym. Funds are now in
hand to change the lights lining the sidewallcs
on campus to an historically accurate design.
The original design for Mellon Hall
included an observatory facility, and the
structure to support a 22. 5' revolving
observatory dome was built into the roof of
the building when it was constructed in
1958. The observatory was not completed
due to other financial priorities, but there is
renewed interest in the facility since the
National Science Foundation has recently
awarded the campus the money to buy a 14 11
reflector telescope.
Facilities planning in Annapolis is always
complicated by the constraints of space,
proximity to protected wetlands, and building
codes of the Historic District. The long
range planning committee has determined
that the most pressing needs in Annapolis are
to enlarge the library, to renovate Pinlmey
Hall, which was constructed in 1857 and is
used as a dormitory, and to finish the
renovations to Mellon Hall which may
7
�THE ST. JOHN'S COMMUNIT Y
include new construction for more
laboratories.
The Annapolis campus is exploring the
possibility of acquiring a state-owned building contiguous to campus which is a perfect
size for a new library. Since it was used for
state archives before a new archives building
was constructed, the facility would require
very little modification for use as a library. If
it is able to acquire this building, the current
library could be used for much needed office
space and study rooms. Failing to acquire the
building, extensive renovations of the existing library will be required as will the renovation and new construction to Mellon to
accommodate the need for more classrooms .
Attention is focused on resolving the issue of
the state building which would provide an
economically feasible and aesthetically pleasing solution to most of the academic facility
needs of the Annapolis campus.
Accomplishing the kinds of renovations
which Pinkney Hall requires presents an
interesting set of problems. Not only is it an
historically important building and therefore
subject to specific regulations governing any
constuction, but the work which needs to be
done is extensive and cannot be completed
during a summer.
in the curriculum. Because ofthis dimension
of the faculty appointment at St. John's,
tutors frequently hold their own study groups
where colleagues can learn from each other
on matters hitherto outside their expertise,
and on matters relating to teaching the
various parts of the Program.
In the year covered by this report, the
faculty continued to engage in many notable
activities in addition to their primary
responsibilities as teachers.
The Faculty
At St. John's the teaching members ofthe
faculty are called tutors. The title professor is
avoided to signify that it is not the chief role
of the tutors to expound doctrines in their
fields of expertise. Instead, learning is a
cooperative enterprise, carried out in small
groups with persons at different stages of
learning working together.
In the classroom, St. John's tutors must
be good questioners, able to raise important
issues that will engage the intellectual and
imaginative powers of their students. The
tutors must be good listeners, able to
understand the difficulties of their students
in order to help them reformulate their
observations and examine their opinions.
The faculty not only teach the St. John's
Program, they exemplify it. St. John's is a
place where mathematics and science are
considered as humanities, and studied with
the other humanities in a fully unified
curriculum. At St. John's the faculty teach
throughout the curriculum, which means
that tutors who have advanced degrees in
political science, for example, will be teaching
literature sequences, mathematics and science
sequences, and perhaps language sequences

traveled to college fairs and schools
throughout the country in 1990-1991. They
supplemented these visits with evening
interviews, informal receptions, and brealcfasts
with school counselors. Computer systems
allowed the offices to efficiently track
applicants, and the Campus visits for
prospective students were very successful
due to an expanded training program for
student guides.

As government resources to fund educational aid have declined, the College has
moved to establish a combination ofendowed
scholarship funds, current funds for student
support, and loan funds to supplement federal
funds. Fifty percent of entering freshmen at
Annapolis and fifty-three percent ofentering
freshmen at Santa Fe qualified for financial
aid in 1990-1991. The need for educational
assistance continues to grow. The challenge
for the College is to be a responsible steward
of the College's future and create external
sources of funding for educational assistance
so that scarce College resources will not have
to be reallocated.
Many generous people have assisted the
College in meeting its financial assistance
goals. Alumni RanletLincoln, Francis Mason,
and Eugene Thaw established the J. Winfree
Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund in honor
of their beloved friend and tutor who died
suddenly in 1991. More than 200 people
contributed $43,000 to this fund in its initial
year. Alumni, friends, and parents also
contributed to scholarship funds established
in previous years, such as the John. S. Keiffer
Endowed Scholarship fund, the Southwest
Scholars Fund, and Graduate Institute
scholarship funds on both campuses. The
commitment of these friends expands the
College's resources and enables it to maintain
a diverse and academically well-qualified
student body.
Undergraduate Life
St. John's students in Annapolis and Santa
Fe marked the 1990-1991 school year by
enthusiasm for community service, both on
campus and in the local communities. St.
John's students worked as tutors and mentors
to developmentally disabled and underprivileged youth, expanded recycling
programs, participated in blood drives, led
junior great books programs at local
elementary schools, and assisted the elderly
in a number of activities.
St. John's College Search and Rescue
Team in Santa Fe, now in its twentieth year,
remains a model of town and campus
coordination. In 1990 the team consisted of
77 members; 46 of these were students at St.
John's. Training for this team includes
survival, basic and advanced search and rescue
techniques, and advanced pre-hospital care.
Volunteers perform an average of 18 to 20
rescues a year.
14
Clubs and organizations continue to
flourish, reflecting the diverse interests ofthe
students. Under the guidance of Annapolis
athletic director Leo Pickens, the St. John's
rowing club increased training and acquired
additional equipment. The club took part in
several local regattas, winning several events.
In addition to the sailboats available at the
College, Annapolis sailing enthusiasts found
berths on local yachts and participated in
races on Chesapealce Bay; this activity was
assisted by Arnie Gay, a member of the
Board of the Friends. Brian Good, a
sophomore at Annapolis, won a bronze medal
in boxing at the National Collegiate Boxing
Association Championshi ps. Mr. Good
received training from the boxing coach at
the College's neighbor, the U.S. Naval
Academy.
Fencing clubs now exist on both
campuses, and students have the opportunity
to take part in a variety of intramural sports.
Each campus has a student newspaper and
other campus publications. Theatre, political
forums, the literary and discussion groups,
film clubs, and many other groups and events
compose the fabric of student life outside of
the classroom.
Career counseling continues to be a high
priority on each campus. Career planning
newletters were published, and students
benefited from an expanded data base and
resource library for internships, fellowships,
and job opportunities. Alumni, parents, and
friends of the College support the office with
career advising and internship placement.
Research into internships and fellowships
was remarkably successful for St. John's
students this year. Santa Fe student Jonathan
Skinner became the fifth Rhodes scholar
from St. John's College since Cecil Rhodes
established the program in 1902. Mr. Skinner
will study English language and literature at
the University of Oxford in England for two
years.

The Graduate Institute
Initiated on the Santa Fe campus in 1967,
the Graduate Institute offers an interdisciplinary Master's degree program based
on the same principles as the undergraduate
program. Initially a summer program, it was
established to serve the needs of teachers. It
expanded to the Annapolis campus a decade
ago and has grown to a year-round program
on both campuses.
The Graduate Institute is divided into
four principal segments: Politics and Society,
Philosophy and Theology, Literature, and
Mathematics and Natural Science. A fifth

segment devoted to the consideration of
History is offered periodically as well.
Although for convenience, the curriculum is
divided into these five areas of study, it is
fundamentally interdisciplinary. The curricula
of the segments have a basic continuity and
constitute a single program of study.
During the summer, up to 100 students
from all parts ofthe country and from abroad
enroll on each campus. Classes are held two
evenings a week during the academic year
and the course of study which is covered in
eight weeks over the summer is spread over
sixteen weeks. This makes participation in
the program during the academic year
compatible with part-time, or, in some cases,
even full-time employment.
While teachers continue to be the single
largest professional group which attends the
Graduate.Inst itute, the year round program
also attracts individuals from other
professions, many of whom attend more for
personal reasons than professional ones. After
years spent in jobs or professions, they have
come to the conviction that they wish to be
more intellectually challenged than is usually
possible in their jobs.
Most students who attend the Graduate
Institute are in their mid-thirties, but an
increasingly larger number of students are
enrolling directly from undergradua te
programs. Many of them plan doctoral
studies, and the Graduate Institute 1s
investigating ways to serve these younger
students.
The College is able to offer need-based
scholarship aid to many of the students who
attend the Graduate Institute. A number of
teachers who attend the Institute receive
financial support from their schools or state
boards of education. In addition, the
Graduate Institute has attracted fellowship
support for teachers from foundations and
corporations. A long range goal is to attract
increased support for the Institute so that its
programs can continue to be available to
students from many diverse backgrounds.
The Graduate Institute is an important
College resource. It enables St. John's to
reach outside its campuses to influence the
education of young people around the
country through the teachers who study
here. It also helps the College reach a group
of people whom it otherwise could notadults who are established in their lives who
find a Master's degree in the liberal arts
rewarding.

Alumni Association
At a meeting of the Alumni, the Faculty,
and Visitors and Governors of St. John's
College held on February 22, 1827, a
committee was appointed to "prepare a
constitution for the organization ofa Society
of the Alumni of St. John's College." That
evening the committee reported a constitution which was unanimously adopted.
From this beginning, the Alumni Association
has grown and developed into today's
nationally based organization which serves
alumni throughout the country.
Distinct from the College and governed
by its own Board, the Alumni Association
plays the dual role of representing the interests of the alumni to the College while also
helping to continue the life of the College
and liberal arts beyond graduation for alumru.
In pursuance of the former, the Association
nominates alumni members to the Board of
Visitors and Governors which sets overall
College policy and budget. The President of
the Association is an ex-officio member of
the Board and attends meetings. To achieve
the latter, the Association has talcen an active
role in encouraging alumni to form seminar
groups and chapters in their own cities and
towns. By creating opportunities for alumm
to meet, socialize, and hold seminars, the
Association helps alumni renew their affiliation with St. John's in the context of their
present lives. The Association is supported in

Association is primarily committed to the
continuing education ofits membership, so
most chapters sponsor seminar programs
and receive visits from tutors from time to
time. These activities also give alumni from
both campuses and from all generations the
opportunity to meet and to get to know one
another.
The Association helps to bring alumni
back to campus by providing financial
assistance for both campuses. In addition, it
sponsors a highly successful Alumni Summer
Program in Santa Fe which features a full

schedule of activities for participants as well
as seminars and preceptorials during a two
week period flanking Homecoming weekend. In the summer of 1991, a week-long
symposium on the Computer and the Liberal
Arts ran contemporaneously with the first
alumni week. It brought together twentyfive alumni, tutors, and students to consider
the question, "What relationship, if any,
does the computer have to the liberal arts?"
Ongoing Association activities include
helping the College's recruitment efforts by
participating in receptions for prospective
students, by presenting book awards in high
schools, and by attending college fairs. Active
chapter members support fundraising
programs by recruiting volunteers for regional
Annual Fund phonathons. Seniors are
introduced to the Alumni Association
through dinners hosted by Association Board
Parents
Parents ofSt. John's students and alumni
are an important part of the St. John's
community. They provide opportunities for
career counseling and internships, host events
for the College in their hometowns, give
additional financial support, and are
enthusiastic ambassadors for the St. John's
program.
Recognizing that parents are an inclispensible segment of the College's friends
and supporters, St. John's College expanded
programs for parents in 1990-1991. Both
campuses published for the first time a
Parents' Handbook, a comprehensive guide
to the program and student life at the College.
Parents of current students received the
Handbook enthusiastically and responded
with suggestions for additional information
to be included in further editions.
Members at various restaurants in Annapolis
and Santa Fe. Alumni are kept abreast of
Association and chapter activities with a
newsletter published within The Reporter
four times a year, and the Association will
provide financial support for a new edition of
the Alumni Register which will be produced
in the near future.
All of these activities serve to keep the lifelong members of St. John's- its alumniinformed and involved in the current life of
the College as well as to enable them to
renew their association with the liberal arts in
formal ways.
Parents' weekends were held on both
campuses in the fall . One hundred eighty
parents came to the Annapolis campus and
112 parents visited the Santa Fe campus.
Parents were able to visit classes, participate
in seminars oftheir own, see the campus, and
meet tutors and administration representatives.
For those parents who were not able to
come to St. John's, the Santa Fe campus
started a Parents Seminar Series. In 1991,
Parents Seminars were held in Napa Valley,
California, and Dallas, Texas. The program
will be expanded, in combination with the
Annapolis campus, to five cities in 1992.
Parents ofAnnapolis students also received
Parent's Line, the newsletter for parents,

three times during the year. Parent's Line
contains profiles of tutors, information on
financial aid and career counseling, and
articles on campus life.
The Community
St. John's College is committed to serving
the Annapolis and Santa Fe communities.
Both campuses offer a variety ofprogramslectures, concerts, film series, community
seminars, gallery exhibitions, and plays- to
which members of the local community are
invited. Some of these events are part of the
on-going undergraduate Program while
others are designed especially for the
community. Annapolis sponsors the Great
Issues series, the fourth and fifth of which
were "Ethics and Business" and "Ethics and
Law". After a keynote address, the audience
breaks into small seminar groups co-led by
College tutors and professionals in the field
to discuss pre-assigned readings. About 200
people accepted an invitation to take part in
a program of Seminars on the Constitution
in Santa Fe during the observation of the
200th anniversary of the United States
Constitution and Bill of Rights. Santa Fe
hosts a Teen Leadership Camp designed to
develop leadership activities in Northern
New Mexico high school students. Santa Fe
also offers two seminar days each year during
which members ofthe community are invited
to attend a choice ofseminars at no cost. The
program draws approximately 500 people to
campus.
In addition to the events they sponsor,
each campus also hosts events sponsored by
others. Shalcespeare in the Park, a popular,
local, nonprofit theatre group, found a new
home on the Santa Fe campus when
scheduling difficulties threatened cancellation
of its 1990 season. Performances in the
courtyard ofthe Meem Library drew capacity
crowds throughout the summer months.
"The Annapolis I Remember" sponsored by
the Arundel Senior Assistance Programs was
hosted in the Francis Scott Key Auditorium
in Annapolis. Based on a massive oral history
of the city from 1910 to 1965, the series
included a photo exhibit and a play followed
by a question and answer period.
Members ofthe college community reach
out beyond the borders oftheir campuses. In
Annapolis, students and faculty members
tutor and mentor in local public and
independent schools. Students in the Santa
Fe Search and Rescue unit train regularly in
techniques of map reading, first aid,
wilderness survival, rock climbing, and cliff
evacuation. The team is called out in
emergencies many times a year. The Santa Fe
campus mails a quarterly newsletter from the
President's Office which includes articles
and information concerning topics in higher
education to 2500 people throughout the
nation. Annapolis conducts seminars for
executives with Goldman Sachs Fried Frank
and Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York
City, as well as an Executive Seminar series in
Annapolis, a seminar series for the State of
Maryland Legislators and for the Department
of Natural Resources.
St. John's College welcomes the participation and involvement of its local and
national friends and is enriched by their ongoing interest and support.

�INSTITUTIO NAL ADVANCEM ENT
On the many pages which follow, St.
John's College is honored to recognize the
alumni, parents, friends, corporations,
foundations, and associations who have
contributed to the College during fiscal
1990-91 (July 1, 1990-June 30 1991 ). The
length ofthe lists signify broad based financial
support for St. John's and its unique
educational program. In total, gifts and
pledges to the College through both
campuses exceeded 2.5 million dollars.
Three special efforts highlighted advancement activities during 1990-91 . On the
Santa Fe campus, plans for a library had been
on the drawing boards for many years. With
the concerted efforts of the College's board,
administration, and special friends in Santa
Fe, the $2.8 million needed to construct the
library was assembled, the architectural plans
finalized, and the groundbreaking held in
the fall of 1989. In November 1990, the
Faith and John Meem Library opened, one
of the most exciting days since the opening
of the campus. Central to the success of the
library fundraising efforts were the Mabee
Foundation and the Kresge Foundation
which offered inspiring challenge grants.
Those gifts, coupled with the generosity of
two longtimefriends of St. John's College,
Clementine Peterson and Faith Meem, who
passed away during the year, enabled St.
John's to begin and complete The Faith and
John Meem Library.
On both campuses, another type ofsuccess
story was being written by alumni, parents,
and friends of the College. Convinced that
the long-term future of the College depends
on a larger base of contributors of $1,000
and more, Warren Spector A'81,joined bya
handful of others, offered the College
$100,000. The $100,000 could be earned if
the College could attract at least 500 donors
of $1,000 or more by June 30, 1992. As of
June 30, 1991, the number ofannual donors
of$1,000 had grown from 88 inl988 to 327.
Reaching 500 donors by June 1992 is
challenging, but an extraordinary opportunity
for St. John's College to help secure its
future.
The third special activity was the
completion of the year long strategic and
financial planning process which yielded
concensus on the needs and opportunities of
the College over the next decade. The College
identified $80 million in needed improvements, primarily increasing its endowment
for financial aid, faculty recruitment and
retention, curriculum support, and outreach
activities. These needs, combined with
physical facility improvements on both
campuses, will form the focus of an exciting,
multi-year fundraising effort which, when
completed, will secure the College well into
the next century.
The year 1992 will bring new challenges
and opportunities. Nodoubttheywil lrequire
equal or greater investments of volunteer
time, energy, and resources if St. John's
College is to continue.
We express our appreciation to those
listed on the following pages and look forward
to earning your continuing respect and
support.

Business and
Foundation Support
Many members of the
business community, from
the smallest sole proprietorships to the largest
multi-national corporations, are included in our
honor roll of business
support. Foundations,
some whose interests are
locally focused either in
Annapolis or Santa Fe, as
well as those which embrace the whole nation in
their philanthropy, have
also honored St. John's
with their support. Following is a combined list of
those who have given to
either campus, for both
general and special purposes.

The community
mourned the death and
celebrated the life ofJ.
Winfree Smith, who died
in early 1991. Mr. Smith,
the author of essays and
translations on historical)
mathematical) and
scientific matters, also
wrote the book, A Search
for the Liberal College,
published by the St. John's
College Press in 1984. The
architects of the New
Program, Stringfellow
Barr and Scott Buchanan, had been Mr. Smith's
teachers at the University
of Virginia. They invited
him to join the St. John's
faculty in 1941Jrom
which time he continued
to protect and shape the
curriculum for many
terms on the Instruction
Committee. Prior to his
death, Mr. Smith had been
chosen unanimously by the
Annapolis faculty to
receive the 1990-91 SearsRoebuck Foundation
Teaching Excellence and
Campus Leadership
Award, which was
accepted by representatives
of his family. His memory
was honored by the
dedication of the 1991
Annapolis Homecoming
Weekend to him on the
fiftieth anniversary of his
teaching tenure at St.
John's. In April a
memorial service attended
by many community
members was held. A
committee including
Douglas Allanbrook and
Brother Robert Smith is
compiling a body of
Winfree Smith lore,
including Mr. Smith's
unpublished writings and
his friends' recollections.
The material will be
compiled for wider
distribution.

It is stunning to refect on how far we have come. The
long, hard road we have traveled as a college community
has taken us from precarious to secure, from declining
enrollment to record applications, and from issues
left unaddressed to challenges met with spirit, resolve,
and newly committed resources.
Five years ago, St. John’s College was in a very different
place. Our structural defcit had risen along with our
tuition, pricing too many students out of St. John’s and
limiting the variety of voices in our classrooms.
Alumni shared their thoughts on how the college could
do better, and then gave us the means to achieve the goals
we set together.
As a result of these collective efforts and the tremendous
generosity of alumni and friends, St. John’s College has
emerged from years of fscal austerity to stand on higher,
frmer ground … and to see the stars again.

�FRom tHe PReSIDent
DeAR ALumnI
& FRIenDS,
We could write a great deal in this Annual Report about the
impact of the pandemic. You should know that, so far,
thanks to the commitment of faculty, staff, and students,
we have gotten through it with little damage. But unlike
most colleges, it is not our most signifcant story.
To appreciate what has transpired at St. John’s, the ground
we have covered and the progress we have made, we need
to look further back—to at least 2017.
That was the year we issued our first Annual Report
after a long period in which very little information was
shared about the state of the college. In that report,
we were forthright about the very signifcant fnancial
and enrollment challenges that threatened the future of
St. John’s—issues that began well before 2017.
We told you the truth about our challenges; then one
year later we launched the Freeing Minds campaign and
asked for your trust and your help so we could address
these challenges. You responded with both.
At every critical step, you have rallied around the
college, the Program, and our students, offering advice and
gifts that have, over the course of fve years, enabled us to
balance our budget, lower our tuition, increase our
enrollment, and expand our student support systems. We
are now within a few percentage points of a campaign goal
that will protect and perpetuate the important work we
have accomplished together.
These accomplishments, however, are not fnish lines.
They are turning points. They show us where we are—and
the direction we must go in order to arrive where we next
want to be.
The issues we have begun to address are not ones which
we can check off as accomplished. For example, we must be
constantly alert to the needs of a student population that
faces different challenges than the students of generations
past. It is therefore critically important that we provide a
safe, supportive, and comfortable environment in which to
experience our transformational Program.
That includes addressing the needs of the physical
plants of both our beautiful campuses. Happily, in this
report, we are announcing the new Pritzker Challenge,
which will give us the opportunity to do just that. We must
now meet that challenge as we have met all the others over
the last few years.
I know we will.
As you read through St. John’s 2021 Annual Report,
I hope you will look back on the past few years with
satisfaction and well-earned optimism—and look ahead to
the next ten with confdence and excitement.
Gratefully,
Mark Roosevelt
President, Santa Fe

�DeAR St. JoHn’S
communItY,
Our son, Jon, entered St. John’s College in 2016, with the
intention of staying for only one year; instead, he graduated
four years later, having fallen in love with Euclid and
mathematics the St. John’s way.
The college then helped Jon turn that love into meaningful
work. Santa Fe’s Offce of Personal and Professional
Development provided career leads, and everywhere Jon
interviewed, he was offered a position. He found it elating to
be sought-after, to be competent—and today he loves and
marvels at fnding himself back in the classroom as a high
school math teacher, instilling in his students the same
passion that St. John’s nurtured in him.
Jon’s experience showed us the
power that St. John’s has to
transform lives. Because of that,
we are committed to the Freeing
Minds campaign and the power it
has to transform the college.
We are impressed with the energy college leaders have
shown in examining where the college could do better and
then designing and implementing aggressive plans to
address these needs. We were pleased to fund a summer
bridge program for new students who may need help
adjusting to the demands of the college’s unique academic
Program. That bridge program is now entering its third year,
and we have been impressed with the results—and deeply
moved by the feedback we have received from students.
At the November meeting of the Board of Visitors and
Governors, there was much celebration of the great
progress that has been made. St. John’s budget is now
balanced, its tuition is lower than it has been in a decade,
enrollment is at a ten-year high, and we are at a place where
we can begin to restore salaries for tutors and staff, who
sacrifced a great deal during these years of austerity.
But the celebration was tempered by the realization that
a diffcult choice lay ahead. Could we continue to grow the
endowment so that we can keep tuition low and raise
salaries, while also expending the monies necessary to
address our signifcant physical infrastructure needs?
At the meeting, Mark Roosevelt said that the college
should spend roughly $75 million over the next ten years
to bring campus buildings up to a decent standard.
I am pleased to say that Dan
and I are committing $25 million
in a $1 to $2 match so the college
will have $75 million committed
to campus improvement projects
over the next decade.
We are thrilled that the board has committed to raising
the frst $25 million to match our pledge, and we are
confdent that the larger St. John’s community will
contribute the remaining $25 million.
Together we can once again expand our expectations
about what the Freeing Minds campaign can achieve. We can
ensure that while not fancy, the college’s two beautiful
campuses are clean, well-maintained, comfortable, and
entirely respectful of the seekers and strivers who come to
engage with St. John’s transformational academic Program.

BIoGRAPHY
Nora Demleitner came to the United States
from Germany in search of the small college
experience, fnding it at Bates College in
Lewiston, Maine.
After graduating from Bates with a degree
in American studies, Nora earned her
Juris Doctor degree from Yale University and
her Master of Laws degree in international
and comparative law from Georgetown
University.
She has published extensively in the
Stanford Law Review and the National Law
Journal, among other publications, and is
widely considered an expert on criminal
justice issues. Following law school, she
clerked for Supreme Court Justice Samuel
A. Alito Jr. when he was a member of the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Nora brings to St. John’s nearly thirty
years of experience in higher education,
including distinguished positions at
St. Mary’s University School of Law in San
Antonio and the Maurice A. Deane School of
Law at Hofstra University. She was most
recently the Roy L. Steinheimer Jr. Professor
of Law at Washington and Lee University,
where she also served for two years as dean.
Nora is joined at St. John’s by her husband,
Michael, and their two children, Cordell
and Venetia.

uncover, in a very logical way, how we got to
our current point. We are asked to look at
ourselves with an outside observer’s eye and
with a loving eye—to see the challenges but
also to see the hope.
Over the past few years, the college has been on a very audacious
and successful path. Cutting tuition was a calculated risk, a noble risk,
and one that some colleges are now replicating. What St. John’s has
done differently is to challenge alumni to build a college that can thrive
on their support rather than on tuition. Alumni have embraced that
challenge and that hope.
It is inspiring to see how people have stepped up to support the
college on behalf of students who are, and will likely continue to be,
in a very different climate than they were.”

Interest in the college has accelerated as more students
discover that our rigorous Program is both transformative
and attainable. As a result, the Class of 2025 is the largest
in more than a decade, with applications surging to the
highest level in St. John’s history.
This impressive upward trend in our freshman enrollment
is the result of our lower tuition price, our commitment to
scholarship support, and our shift toward targeted
recruitment strategies that reach students who have a
genuine interest in the college.

The Graduate Institute entered the frst full year of a pilot
program that lets students choose between a fully in-person
or low-residency format. Interest in both options has been
strong. Almost twice as many new GI students enrolled in
Fall 2021 than in Fall 2019, when only the residential
experience was available.
Students are returning post-pandemic.
In 2020, a signifcant number of students opted to take a leave
of absence for COVID-related reasons. As a result of organized
efforts to keep these students engaged with the Program, the
vast majority have now resumed their studies at the college.
Maintaining a diverse student body is a priority for St. John’s.
To that end, the college has developed a variety of recruitment
tools, including the new position of assistant director of
admissions for diversity recruitment.
10
�School partnerships are a source of Johnnies from around the world.
Our targeted approach to recruitment includes two partnership
initiatives: the Southwest Scholars and Partners Program,
which promotes the college across six southwestern states,
and our relationship with the high schools that make up the
United World Colleges. One in 11 fall freshmen chose the
college as a direct result of these partnerships.
“Thanks to my school’s
involvement with the
Southwest Scholars
program and the fnancial
support I received through
it, I found myself realizing
that St. John’s was not just
another small liberal arts
college. It was not just a
better place—it was the
only place for me.”
AVeRY LIn (SF25)
This fall, St. John’s welcomed the largest cohort of freshmen
from the global network of United World Colleges in a decade.
We have now reached our target of enrolling a minimum of
40 students from the UWC schools, which prepare them well
for St. John’s distinctive mode of learning. Crossing this
threshold means the Davis Foundation will increase their
annual support from $10,000 to $25,000 per UWC student.
“When I frst heard about
St. John’s while studying
at UWC Robert Bosch in
Germany, I was intrigued
by the concept but also
skeptical. I applied for the
online summer seminars,
which turned out to be so
engaging and eye-opening
that I was convinced of the
application and usefulness
of the Program. So far,
the reality has not
disappointed me.”
HeLen FeLBeK (A25)
Looking towards the future
Even as we celebrate our full campuses and the growing
diversity of our community, it is important that we look
ahead to the demographic cliff that awaits. In just a few
years, the national population of college-age students will
shrink by an estimated 15 percent, a result of the fnancial
crisis of 2008, which accelerated the trend toward smaller
families. To ensure that future students not only hear
about St. John’s but can also afford to come here, we must
strive to keep tuition increases below the rate of inflation,
increase the amount of scholarship support we offer,
and invest in our most reliable pipelines.

The supportive infrastructure we began building before the
pandemic has played a crucial role in this year of return.
Coming home from the digital ether to the seminar table
has restored energy and intimacy to our classrooms, but
it has also generated new challenges for students. Of our
857 undergraduate students, only our seniors carry with
them the memory of a full year on campus. Others are
rediscovering a world they had only begun to explore
before the pandemic disrupted their experience. Some are
enjoying it for the frst time, after being forced to fnalize
their college decisions from afar.
In what is still a diffcult environment, we are listening
carefully to what our students are feeling—and we are
doing more than ever before to ensure that support is
readily available.

I was so grateful to have a peer

“When I was a freshman, my class was

more involved with welcoming the

St. John’s is all about.”

St. John’s has taken important steps to enhance the
student experience, with a focus on helping new students
fnd their footing.
Pritzker Promise Summer Bridge Program
The Pritzker Promise Summer Bridge Program offered an
in-person pre-orientation experience to incoming freshmen
who can beneft from additional help as they transition into
college. The schedule of events included writing and math
workshops; panel discussions with staff, tutors, and alumni;
teambuilding activities; and quality time with peer mentors. At
the outset of the program, only 35 percent of participants felt
prepared for the St. John’s classroom; at the end of the week,
that fgure surged to 96 percent.
The Pritzker Promise also includes a peer mentorship
component, which pairs new students with upper classmates,
who serve as sources of guidance, support, advocacy, and
friendship. This year, 22 Pritzker Promise peer mentors are
helping nearly 100 members of the Class of 2025 navigate
their freshman year.

Freshman Advising
Peer-to-Peer Support
This fall we implemented a freshman advising program aimed
at fostering mutually supportive connections between
students and tutors, in and out of the classroom. All frst-year
students now have a faculty mentor.
Peer-to-peer support is also flourishing outside of the Pritzker
Promise, and the college has responded with extensive
training that empowers students to care for one another. Our
resident advisors, for example, learned how to identify and
compassionately intervene in situations ranging from mental
health crises to instances of bias.
Freshman Orientation
We also expanded our freshman orientation program, giving
new students a more thorough—and welcoming—introduction
to Johnnie life. Throughout the week, students engaged
in practice seminars, learned about helpful resources
on campus, and received advice from upper classmates on
adapting to college.

The college continues to expand the breadth and scope of
our career services programming, bringing more Johnnies
closer to their postgraduate goals.
Collegewide Collaboration
In addition to providing individual career counseling to students
as well as alumni, the Annapolis Career Services Offce and
the Santa Fe Offce of Personal and Professional Development
partnered to produce workshops on writing resumes, applying
for internships and fellowships, and researching graduate
schools. Both campuses also collaborated with alumni to
co-host career panels in felds such as healthcare, education,
government contracting, and technology.
Jobs 4 Johnnies
Now in its third year, Jobs 4 Johnnies continues to bring
seniors together with alumni and board volunteers, who help
them identify felds of career interest, compile a job search
toolkit, and prepare for interviews. As a result of solid interest
from students and volunteers, both campuses have taken
steps to evolve Jobs 4 Johnnies into a year-long journey that
begins in the fall rather than the spring.
A New Liaison
The college also created and flled the new position of
assistant director of employer and alumni relations, providing
students with an additional resource for building connections.
Internships and Fellowships
Summer internship and fellowship opportunities remain
central to our career services programming. The former help
students learn valuable job skills while the latter let them dive
deep into areas of postgraduate study. Both opportunities
prompt students to think seriously about life after St. John’s
and how to prepare. As a result of funding provided by alumni
and friends, students spent the past summer working and
studying at institutions as diverse and influential as the
University of Chicago, the London School of Economics,
the Smithsonian Institution, and NASA.
“This internship defnitely broadened my horizons. I
experienced a different work environment, learned a lot
about methane emissions in marshes, used a new
programming language, and have a better understanding
of what I want to do in the future. I thought I wanted to
pursue data analysis, but now I fnd myself more heavily

St. John’s Endowment
By providing an annual stream of investment income that
has historically risen over time, the St. John’s Endowment
protects our ability to keep tuition reasonable and provides
enduring support for the college, the Program, and the
student experience.
In FY21, the annual endowment distribution for
operations contributed nearly $10 million, an amount
equivalent to tuition from more than 275 students. This
income currently covers nearly 20 percent of the annual
operating budget. At our peer colleges, only 13 percent of
needs are met through the endowment. The national
average is even lower at 12 percent.
As the value of our endowment grows, through new gifts
and responsible investment, so will the annual distributions
that are made available for the college to use.

Gifts to the Annual Fund address urgent priorities, including
the scholarships that help students afford a St. John’s

to DoInG So.
In 2017, when we began communicating with you about
the state of the college, we acknowledged that St. John’s
faced a serious threat: a structural defcit that had reached
$12 million, equivalent to approximately 20 percent of
St. John’s annual operating budget.
We also assured you that the board and college
leadership were committed to an aggressive plan of action
that would eliminate the defcit and balance St. John’s
budget by 2021. From then on, we met or exceeded our
defcit reduction goals in every fscal year; and now, as a
result of hard work, strict cost controls, and considerable
sacrifces on the part of many, we can say that St. John’s has
a balanced budget.
Reaching this milestone puts St. John’s in a position to
begin addressing staff and faculty compensation. We have
already taken steps to restore the salary cuts that were
made during our years of fnancial austerity; and, for the
frst time in well over a decade, we are able to consider
cost-of-living increases. Our ability to do so is a testament
to just how far the college has come.
We must now maintain our balanced budget, keep
tuition as low as possible, and still meet our critical needs.
For this the college will depend on new gifts to the Freeing
Minds campaign and on continued, generous support for the
Annual Fund, including the Fund for St. John’s.

DeAR ALumnI
& FRIenDS,
And then we emerged to see the stars again. And indeed we have.
Most arduous journeys, such as the one we have been
on, look a lot different in the rear-view mirror. We should
not forget this one was rugged, requiring commitment
and sacrifce from virtually everyone involved. Although
we are not done with our labors, we have accomplished an
enormous amount, and it is time to take stock of where we
are and where we need to go.
Over the past fve years, our college community, working
together, has climbed our way out of a staggering structural
defcit, reversed course on troubling enrollment trends,
greatly enhanced the support services that are available to
our students, and positioned the college to make additional
progress in the years ahead.
Our task now is to keep the lessons of the past fve
years in mind as we look ahead to the years, even decades,
to come.
Access and affordability must remain priorities, and for
that the college will need your ongoing support.
Enhancing the student experience is another area of
focus, one highlighted by the Pritzker Challenge, a once-ina-generation opportunity to signifcantly improve the
physical environment in which our Program is experienced
and enjoyed. This is another area where your support will
make a critical difference.
The voyage ahead will almost certainly take us in
unexpected directions. This is both the joy and the
challenge of any journey, whether it occurs around a
seminar table or among a global community of alumni
and friends. Rest assured, however, that the many arcs
on which we travel are still frmly fxed upon our center—
a life-changing academic Program that is now in its
85th year.
Together we will position it well for its 100th year—
and well beyond.
Gratefully,
Ron Fielding (A70)

ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
�LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTS
DEAR ALUMNI
& FRIENDS,
Last year we told you that St. John’s College was stronger than ever.
The evidence to support that claim was, and still is, abundant—and
yet it was a risky claim because it inevitably raises the following
questions: Where are we now? How strong is St. John’s today, and
can the college sustain its strength for the future?
The simple answer is that the college is doing very well.
After a two-decade period in which St. John’s experienced
signifcant fscal and enrollment troubles, followed by a
seven-year period of rigorous cost-cutting and operational
improvement, the college has reached a point where we
can confdently say we are healthy. Our budget is balanced,
enrollment remains at a long-time high, and the campuses
are full of energy and excitement. The unprecedented
success of the Freeing Minds campaign has allowed for a
new fnancial model and a revival.
Of course, it is also the case that our work is never done.
Resting on success is not a realistic option for any college other than the very rich, even in the best of times—and
times are very tough for small colleges like St. John’s.
With the population of college-age students shrinking
and the needs of those students increasing, the years ahead
are going to test us.
We know that without constant attention and creative
thinking, strength can diminish quickly. What we are doing
now is taking steps to ensure that the many strengths we
possess—strengths we have worked diligently to accrue and
are fortunate to have—will continue to serve the college well.
1. Our Program. Everything we do at St. John’s is done in
the interest of preserving the Program’s unique place in
American higher education and enhancing its impact.
2. A successful campaign. Freeing Minds enabled the college
to shift to a fnancial model that depends less on tuition
and more on the continued support of alumni and friends.
3
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
3. Stable enrollment. To maintain our positive enrollment
trends, it is vitally important that we continue to
invest in initiatives that attract students with an affnity for the Program regardless of their family fnances or
personal background.
4. A transformational student experience. We want it to
be transformational for all, not some. We also want
the experience to contribute to a fulflling life, including
a life of meaningful work.
5. Two historic campuses. They are exceptionally
beautiful places in which to live and learn. They also
need signifcant investment to bring them back up to
a respectable standard.
6. A balanced budget. Many people worked hard and gave
generously to help us reach it. Now it is imperative that
we maintain it.
These six strengths sustain us as a college, a global
community of lifelong learners, and participants in an
enduring conversation. We must attend to these strengths
so they continue to sustain us.
That is the challenge we face—and it is because of your
generosity and love for the college that we will meet it.
Gratefully,
Mark Roosevelt
President, Santa Fe
Nora Demleitner
President, Annapolis
�PROGRAM
OUR
DISTINCTIVE
PROGRAM
IS OUR
GREATEST
STRENGTH
AND A
CONTINUING
CONVERSATION.
The pages of this annual report draw
some comparisons between St. John’s
and other institutions. When assessing our enrollment or the changing
demographics of college-age students,
this is instructive.
When it comes to the St. John’s
classroom, however, we cannot compare ourselves to even our most
similar peers. The way in which our
students and tutors put their preconceived notions to the test by reading
and discussing seminal texts in
small-group seminars where every
voice is given equal weight—and no
textbooks are to be found—is unique
in higher education.
4
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
But without a basis of comparison,
how do we know what, if any, improvement is needed?
We begin by recognizing that the
St. John’s Program of Instruction is not,
and was never meant to be, a barometer of public opinion. We do not read a
given text because it is fashionable
or because the topics it addresses are
politically expedient. We explore
the words and ideas that, in the eyes,
hearts, and minds of our faculty can
best achieve our mission to “make
free adults from children by means of
books and a balance.”
The college continues to hold fast
to the core of what we do and to the
strengths that distinguish a St. John’s
education, including our Great Books
curriculum, low student-to-faculty
ratio, and discussion-based mode of
learning.
Yet the Program is not static.
It is a continuing conversation, and
maintaining its health and vitality is
a priority for the college. This work
is led on each campus by the
Instruction Committee, who guides
the St. John’s community through an
ongoing process of curricular review
and faculty development.
�HOW DOES
ST. JOHN’S
EVALUATE THE
ACADEMIC
STATE OF THE
COLLEGE?
The responsibility for safeguarding and, when
necessary, reinvigorating the Program rests
with the Instruction Committee on each campus.
In accordance with the Polity, each committee
consists of the dean and six faculty members,
who are elected to the position by their peers.
The committee meets regularly throughout
the year, and the two committees meet jointly
once a year.
Areas that fall within the scope of the committees’
work include the planning of preceptorials and
study groups; recommendations for faculty
appointments, reappointments, and tenure;
and an annual review of the list of books that
constitute the core of the St. John’s Program.
Instructional proposals for more substantive
changes, whether collegewide or campus-specifc,
are put forth by the dean to be considered and
voted upon by the faculty. An important example
of this process took place in 2020, when
the faculty approved an instructional proposal to
offer graduate education in a low-residency
format as part of a three-year pilot program.
By making the Program more accessible to a global
community, this collective effort on the part
of St. John’s faculty has led to a resurgence of
interest in the Graduate Institute.

ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
New tutors enrich our
growing community.
Over the past three years,
St. John’s welcomed 24
new tenure-track tutors,
whose varied interests
include modern apocalyptic
fction, computer-generated
art, the music of North Africa
and the Middle East, the
literature of colonial Latin
America, and the phenomenology of Simone de Beauvoir.
By comparison, only four
tutors joined St. John’s in
the previous three-year
period, when fscal austerity
prevented the college from
hiring enough new tutors
to replace our retiring faculty.
As a result of our improving
fnancial health, St. John’s
was able to not only reverse
this trend, which will help
keep our class sizes small,
but also raise the base salary
for our faculty in FY22. ♦
Faculty summer study
groups nourish our tutors.
By providing tutors with
the time and space to
collaboratively explore a text
or theme, faculty summer
study groups build community, inform further study,
and generate new perspectives and questions that
ultimately beneft students as
well as tutors. Last summer,
nine summer study groups
gave tutors the opportunity to
delve into a wide array of
subjects, from the strange
beauty of wave motion to the
powerful rhetoric of Frederick
Douglass and the intense
prose of Brazilian novelist
Clarice Lispector. ♦
�ENROLLMENT
ENROLLMENT
IS STABLE
BUT VULNERABLE.
St. John’s met enrollment goals for the
second year in a row, with Annapolis
welcoming 141 new undergraduates
and Santa Fe welcoming 104 Fall
freshmen and 17 January Freshmen.
This is a particular success for Santa
Fe; apart from last year, we would have
to reach back more than a decade to
fnd a freshman class of similar size.
Applications also rose to a new high,
eclipsing the record we celebrated
in 2021.
Results like these are not the norm
for small colleges. For all but the most
selective institutions, application and
enrollment numbers are, on average,
trending down.
Enrollment at St. John’s, however,
is more than a numbers game. As
the Statement of the Program reminds
us, we have a higher obligation:
“Because it offers an education for all,
St. John’s College has sought and
continues to seek to make its program
of study known and available to people
of diverse backgrounds.”
Since the founding of the New
Program in 1937, when St. John’s
adopted an egalitarian model that was
rare in higher education, the range of
backgrounds represented in a
St. John’s classroom has steadily
expanded.
Compared to our peers, St. John’s
has a very high percentage of
6
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
freshmen who receive need-based
fnancial aid and a high percentage
who qualify for a federal Pell Grant.
Almost 30 percent of new students identify as Black, Indigenous,
and people of color.
The St. John’s community can be
confdent that the college remains
committed to “an education for all.”
What we cannot do is grow complacent
about the threats we face. The population of college-age students is declining
(a phenomenon known as “the demographic cliff”), and competition will
intensify. St. John’s will face many of
the same enrollment challenges as
our peers, and we must also contend
with issues specifc to the college,
including our relatively small applicant
pool and the challenge of keeping a
balanced budget despite the extraordinary fnancial need of our students.
To remain competitive, St. John’s
must bring the college to the attention of more students, help them
understand what the Program has
to offer, and ensure that cost is not a
barrier.

�OUR PROVEN PIPELINES,
NEW PARTNERSHIPS,
AND FAIR PRICE ARE KEY
STRENGTHS IN A
COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.
One in six Fall freshmen
attended Summer Academy
before enrolling at St. John’s.
This annual summer
program gives high school
students an opportunity
to enjoy great conversations
in a Socratic format alongside
St. John’s tutors. It also
allows the college to reach
high-performing students,
including prospective
Johnnies, who are interested
in the liberal arts and
intrigued by the Program. To
help grow Summer Academy
and keep it accessible, the
college works with partner
schools and community-based organizations to
identify students who could
beneft from Summer
Academy and provide them
with scholarships. ♦
7
Alumni are among the
college’s most
important partners.
When alumni share their
passion for the Program, they
inspire future students to
seek out the college. Among
Fall 2022 freshmen, one in
four learned about the college
from an alum, and almost
10 percent are the children or
grandchildren of Johnnies. ♦
Flexible options help the
Graduate Institute grow.
With 63 new students
pursuing a Master of Arts
degree, fall enrollment in
the Graduate Institute
continues to exceed pre-pandemic levels. Of note is the
Master of Arts in Liberal Arts
program in Annapolis, where
total enrollment is now at the
highest level since 2007.
This growth suggests that the
low-residency model, which
gives students the option to
take classes online, is raising
the profle of the Graduate
Institute and making it more
attractive to students who
cannot relocate. ♦
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
The Southwest Scholars
Partners Program expands
St. John’s reach.
This partnership initiative
helps promote the college
to students in the American
Southwest, an area with
rapid population growth.
Approximately half of
our 23 partner high schools
are in lower-income communities and serve students
who are often the frst in their
families to seek a college
education. Students enrolled
in partner schools are eligible
for scholarships to attend
Santa Fe, and if they want
a preview of the college, they
are also eligible for scholarships to Summer Academy.
This year the number of
students participating
in Summer Academy from
Southwest Scholars partner
schools doubled. ♦
Tuition remains near
a 15-year low.
When the Freeing Minds
campaign launched in 2018,
alumni and friends enabled
the college to lower tuition by
one-third. In the years since
this historic reset, St. John’s
has raised tuition by a modest
three percent, well below
the rate of inflation over that
period. Even with a fve
percent increase planned for
the next academic year,
St. John’s tuition price will be
lower in Fall 2023 than it
was in Fall 2008. In addition,
Pell students, who represent
the nation’s least wealthy
households, qualify to
have their federal Pell Grants
matched 100 percent through
the Pritzker Promise. ♦
�STUDENT EXPERIENCE
ST. JOHN’S
OFFERS A
RADICALLY
DIFFERENT
COLLEGE
EXPERIENCE.
WE ARE
MAKING IT
EVEN BETTER.
Within our peer group, St. John’s yield
rate is reassuringly high. This fgure
refers not to the percentage of students
the college accepts but to the percentage of admitted students who choose
to attend the college. One-third
will do so, affrming what alumni
and friends already know: that what
we do at St. John’s has enduring
relevance and appeal.
In some ways the St. John’s classroom has changed very little since the
founding of the New Program eight
decades ago. Tutors and students—no
more than 20—still sit around a seminar table and wrestle with the
fundamental questions of human
8
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
existence and meaning. The texts we
read and the ideas we ponder are
treasures we share with seekers and
searchers of decades, centuries,
and millennia past.
What has changed at St. John’s,
and dramatically so, are the needs
and expectations of students.
Compared to previous generations,
today’s students are less wealthy,
represent more diverse backgrounds,
and possess fewer resources. They
also have different expectations
about the kinds of opportunities
that will be available and the amount
of support they will receive.
This is an area where alumni have
been frank, saying that St. John’s did
not provide the resources that would
have helped them gain more from
their time at the college. The full
St. John’s experience—as it is lived in
seminars and labs, but also in student
clubs and residence halls, on the
athletic felds and in preparing for
future careers—must be a priority.
The college has listened and agreed.
The St. John’s experience is uniquely
transformational. It can also be better.
We have taken some important steps
in that direction.
�IMPROVED HEALTH
AND WELLNESS
RESOURCES CONTRIBUTE
TO A MORE SATISFYING
STUDENT EXPERIENCE.
The Annapolis campus now
serves as a model for integrated health and
wellness care.
The newly renovated
Student Health and Wellness
Center has adopted a
more effective and holistic
approach to student wellbeing, with primary care,
mental health care, and
health education all conveniently housed together in
Randall Hall. Students can get
a flu shot, receive basic
medical care, and talk with
a counselor—without having
to leave the campus or
worry about cost. Staff also
conduct outreach programs
that address some of
students’ most common
health concerns, such as how
to manage stress, maintain
a healthy sleep schedule, and
select a balanced diet. ♦
9
Help is available around
the clock.
Demand for mental health
services has increased
signifcantly, with nearly one
in four St. John’s students
requesting help for anxiety,
depression, and other issues—
all of which can affect
academic performance. In
response to this rising need,
both campuses have partnered with Academic Live
Care, a telehealth platform
that offers unlimited counseling sessions at no cost to
students. The new service
supplements the college’s
on-campus care and gives
students more options
for scheduling appointments:
they can even select their
providers based on gender,
ethnic background, language,
and other preferences.
If students need to speak
to someone immediately,
a 24-hour crisis hotline
is available and staffed
by counselors who are aware
the call is from a St. John’s
student. ♦
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
Students are empowered to
offer peer-to-peer care.
Both campuses have
expanded the training
provided to resident advisors,
enabling them to engage
more meaningfully with fellow
students who come to them
for support. Through a
specialized mental health
training program, which is
required of all resident
advisors, these student
leaders learn how to recognize signs of distress in a
classmate, start a conversation around sensitive matters,
and take the appropriate
next steps. New Student
Orientation also provides
incoming freshmen with
basic information on mental
health care, including tips
on how to help peers who are
struggling. ♦
New initiatives encourage
healthy lifestyles and
safer choices.
For Santa Fe students
who are concerned about
their drug and alcohol use,
the Recovery Support Group
offers a safe space to ask
questions and share advice.
The program is supervised
by a Santa Fe staff member
and alum who is familiar with
the rigors of a St. John’s
education and knows how
tempting it can be to
self-medicate. The campus
also launched “Spiritual
Journeys,” an exploration
of spiritual practices and
how they contribute to health
and well-being.
In Annapolis, students
who feel overwhelmed can
visit the Student Health
and Wellness Center and
schedule time in the Serenity
Space, a dedicated room
designed to provide an
immersive sensory experience that helps relieve stress
and anxiety. ♦
�STUDENT EXPERIENCE
“
“
I really benefted from
being mentored by
students who offered
a candid view of
St. John’s and the difference between what
is claimed on paper and
what actually plays out
in the classroom. It is
one thing to hear from a
member of administration; it’s another to hear
from a student. Getting
that no holds barred
perspective defnitely
helped me adjust to
college life.”
St. John’s is a very special place—but how to
step into this kind of environment? It is a hard
task for any freshman
but especially for an
international student.
The Bridge Program
gave me the chance to
ask questions, ‘How do
I survive a seminar?’
‘Which book of Plato
do you love the most?’
It also had something
to tell me in return:
‘We are so happy to see
you here.’ I can confdently say I am happy
to be here as well.”

When I began at
St. John’s, I had but a
blur of what it entailed.
I just knew I wanted
to read great books.
I thought I would be
prepared to start the
Program; yet the Program was more than I
thought, demanding me
to wrestle with myself
and nature at every
turn. Luckily the Pritzker Promise provided
amazing mentors, who
not only helped me understand the Program
but also introduced me
to the person I aim to
be: thoughtful, careful,
and with a sense of

—NÉSTOR ARANIBAR
CAMPERO (SF24)
�ST. JOHN’S IS
DOING MORE TO
ENSURE THAT
EVERY STUDENT
FEELS WELCOME.
The Pritzker Promise
breaks down the barriers
to frst-year success.
The college launched a
week-long summer bridge
program in 2020 for qualifed
freshmen who want additional preparation for the
form of study we do at
St. John’s. Now in its third
year, the Pritzker Promise
Summer Bridge Program
continues to evolve and add
new content tailored to the
specifc needs of eligible
students, whose backgrounds
and circumstances can be
obstacles to success at
St. John’s.
Fitting in and feeling
heard are among those
concerns, and Bridge Scholars
beneft from forging connections with a small cohort of
classmates and peer mentors
before meeting the larger
freshman body. Social growth
is consistently ranked as
one of the most benefcial
outcomes of the Bridge
Program, with nine out of
ten participants saying
the experience helped them
make friends, establish a
support system, and feel
11
more comfortable expressing
themselves.
Initial results indicate the
program is having a particularly positive impact on
students from lower-income
families. On both campuses,
88 percent of Pell students
who attended the 2021
Summer Bridge Program
returned as sophomores in
Fall 2022, which is 14
percentage points higher
than Santa Fe freshmen in
general and eight percentage
points higher than Annapolis
freshmen. ♦
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
New students enjoy a
more thorough introduction
to college.
New Student Orientation
is the frst real opportunity for
the larger freshman class to
learn about life at St. John’s
and for the college to learn
about new students. The
experience can set the tone
for a student’s academic
career, and yet many alumni
say their own orientation
did not lay a proper foundation for the journey ahead.
The college has responded
by greatly expanding and
improving the programming
offered during New Student
Orientation. In Santa Fe,
for example, the schedule
grew from 20 events in
2017 to 50 events in 2022.
Incoming Johnnies will hear
about the resources available
at St. John’s and receive a
warm, helpful welcome from
their deans, student assistants, and resident advisors.
They can also expect to
have candid conversations
with upperclassmen who
remember what it was like to
enter a very different world. ♦
Paracurricular activities
nurture a flourishing
student community.
Vibrancy and creative
energy are returning to
campus life after years of
pandemic-related disruption.
Santa Fe has seen the
emergence of many new
clubs and activities, including
the tutor-led weekly flm
series and informal study
group “Cinema as a Liberal
Art;” the parkour club, in
which the entire campus
serves as a gym; and Kunai,
an intramural team for
female and non-cis-gendered
students. Fencing has
also returned to Santa Fe and
is growing in popularity.
In Annapolis, the art
program and intramural
athletics are back at full
strength, with art classes
frequently reaching capacity
and more than half the
student body regularly taking
part in intramural sports. ♦

from St. John’s gave me the
opportunity to further my
interest in marine biology
at the Shoals Marine
Laboratory. The work was
hard, it was specialized,
and it was not for the faint
of heart. It also taught me
something about my love
for the sciences—and the
many career pathways
I can take.”

This summer I completed

job openings all require
some degree of formal
training. Last spring I took

When I applied for a summer fellowship, I was feeling the ‘what’s next’ dread
that comes with graduating
college. I just knew for
certain that I wanted to
point my compass toward
a career in art. An intensive course in the south
of France was the perfect
opportunity to step away
from that dread and discover what it means to live
for my craft. I learned how
to silence my inner critic so
I could push forward, and

Competitive awards are
an area of focus.
Both campuses are collaborating to assist students and
alumni who are interested in
nationally competitive fellowships, including the prestigious Gaither, Truman, and
Fulbright awards. In 2022,
St. John’s advised six applicants: one received a
Fulbright award for public

�CAMPUS LIFE
OUR TWO BEAUTIFUL
CAMPUSES
ARE INCREDIBLE
STRENGTHS,
BUT THEY NEED WORK.
YOUR PHILANTHROPY
IS MAKING
THAT HAPPEN.
Having postponed a long list of repairs
and regular maintenance due to
fnancial constraints, St. John’s faced
an impending infrastructure crisis—
until the Jay Pritzker Foundation
stepped forward with an extraordinary
gift. Facilitated by St. John’s board
member and parent Karen Pritzker
and inspired by her son’s time at the
college, the $25 million Pritzker
Challenge will contribute $1 for every
$2 gift made in support of campus
improvements, setting the stage for a
$75 million investment over a
ten-year period.
The gift is a game-changer for
the college and will allow St. John’s to
undertake projects that will greatly
enhance community life and provide
students and tutors with more
14
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
comfortable places to gather, read,
relax, think, and discuss.
None of these improvements will
be fashy, which would not be in
keeping with St. John’s commitment
to offering a rigorous education
rather than lavish amenities. They
will, however, meet modern standards of comfort and safety and
make the college a more attractive
option to prospective students.
FOLLOW OUR PLANS
AND GET INVOLVED
The Pritzker Challenge calls upon
alumni and friends to contribute $5
million each year, over a ten-year period,
to receive the Jay Pritzker Foundation’s
annual $2.5 million match. We met
our FY22 goal, and alumni and friends
have already pledged $4 million toward
FY23. The college has now received
a total commitment of $18 million,
with $32 million remaining to meet the
Pritzker Challenge.

�WHAT IS ST. JOHN’S
DOING TO ENHANCE
CAMPUS LIFE?
Creating interactive spaces.
The wait is almost over as
Mellon Hall completes its
multi-year transformation into
a social hub for the Annapolis
community. Key elements of
architect Richard Neutra’s original design remain intact, but
the lobby has now become a
spacious gathering area, a new
studio theatre awaits student
performers, and the muchloved Fishbowl offers a more
comfortable setting for deep
discussion. Some exterior
work will continue, but doors
to the newly remodeled social
spaces open this spring. ♦
Improving our student
residence halls.
With ages ranging from 18
to 185 years, our Annapolis
residence halls are cherished,
and often historically signifcant, spaces—but time has
taken its toll. Some of these
buildings are now in poor
condition and need to be
repaired and updated. We took
an important step in FY22 with
upgrades to Randall Hall.
Through the generosity of the
Jay Pritzker Foundation,
Campbell Hall is the next
residence hall to be revitalized
as part of a broader effort
to improve residential life and
attract new students. Work on
Campbell Hall will begin in
2023. ♦

Moving toward a carbon
neutral future.
Thanks to a gift from an
anonymous alumni couple
and an energy audit
supported by the Class of
2019, the Santa Fe campus
will run entirely on solar
power by the end of 2023.
The gift also funded a
campuswide conversion to
energy-effcient LED lighting,
a project that is now complete.
Future initiatives include
electric vehicle charging
stations and solar-powered
benches where students can
charge their phones and
laptops. ♦
Drawing students into
community.
The Pritzker Student Center
(formerly known as the
Peterson Student Center) will
undergo a full-scale renovation to create student lounges,
preserve signature pieces
by designer Alexander Girard,
and breathe new life into the
student-run performance
venue, the Cave. The project
will also expand the coffee
shop into a more inviting
space—complete with a
freplace and a connection
to the campus bookstore.
Construction is expected to
begin in 2023. ♦
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
�FINANCIALS
WE HAVE A
BALANCED
BUDGET,
BUT WE NEED
TO STAY
VIGILANT.
Over the past seven years, the fnancial
health of St. John’s College has
improved considerably. The college is
not fush with cash, but we are secure.
Our structural defcit, which peaked
at $12 million, reached zero in FY21;
and the college has now completed
a second consecutive fscal year with
a structurally balanced budget.
Balanced—but vulnerable. Some
elements of our FY22 budget that seem
highly positive are the result of unusual
circumstances. We have a modest
operating surplus of $1.5 million, but
this is due entirely to nonrecurring
federal relief funds, and our substantial
year-over-year increase in student-derived revenue can largely be attributed
to the reopening of our campuses
and the return of students who took
time off during the pandemic.
We do have cause to be confdent,
however. The success of the
Freeing Minds campaign has made it
possible for St. John’s to switch to a
16
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
philanthropy-centered fnancial model
in which gifts to the college play a
greater role than tuition. It is important
to note that St. John’s will beneft from
an estimated $90 million in deferred
gifts that will reach the endowment
in the near future. Because these gifts
will be invested for long-term growth,
they will infuse $4.5 million into
our budget each year—and this amount
will steadily increase over time.
Until then, the college must be prepared to face many of the same
fnancial pressures as our more tuition-dependent peers. Protecting
our budget will take the work of everyone who has a stake in the college,
from alumni and friends who make
the Annual Fund a priority to the staff
and faculty who make the college
a place where students want to be.
WHY PHILANTHROPY
MATTERED IN FY22
For the third consecutive year, cash
gifts and endowment income played
a greater role in funding the work of
the college than tuition.
As a result of philanthropic support,
students paid $15.1 million in tuition but
received $18.5 million in fnancial aid.
Credit rating agency S&P Global raised
their outlook for St. John’s from stable
to positive, citing our fnancial
stability and successful campaign as
important factors.

�FOLIO
OUR SMALL COLLEGE HAS
DONE THE REMARKABLE.
The Freeing Minds campaign was
launched in 2018 with the goal of
raising $300 million to strengthen
the college’s fnancial health and help
more students afford a St. John’s
education. These gifts would serve
as the foundation of a new fnancial
model in which gifts play a greater
role and tuition a lesser one.
THE RESULTS ARE
ALREADY BEING FELT.
Of the $320 million raised to date,
$173 million has been received and
put to work. Nearly half the funds
were invested through the St. John’s
Endowment, which generates a
growing stream of annual income
for the college to use. The other half
enabled the college to increase
fnancial aid, introduce more student
support services, expand internship
and fellowship opportunities,
and cover an operating defcit
from FY16–FY20.
Campaign fgures as of December 31, 2022.
19
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
It was an ambitious goal that was
not without skeptics, including those
who worried that St. John’s was
simply too small to raise such a lofty
fgure. Alumni and friends rallied
around the effort, raising $320 million
to date and leading our small college
beyond our goal—months ahead
of schedule.
THE IMPACT IS
FAR-REACHING.
The St. John’s Endowment consists
of permanently invested gifts that
provide lasting support for the
college. In addition to the $80 million
that has already been placed in
the endowment, $90 million in
deferred gifts will be added in the
coming years. Once these gifts
are received, annual income from
the St. John’s Endowment will,
under most market conditions,
cover more than a third of the cost
to educate our students.
WE HAVE A MEANS TO
SUSTAIN OUR STRENGTH.
Freeing Minds has heightened awareness
of the St. John’s Annual Fund as a way
for alumni and friends to regularly
support everything they love about the
college. More than 90 percent of the
5,500 gifts made to Freeing Minds in
FY22 were given through the Annual
Fund, and these gifts had an immediate
impact on life at St. John’s. Once the
campaign concludes, Annual Fund gifts
will remain a crucial resource for
meeting the needs of students while
maintaining a balanced budget and
keeping tuition as low as possible.
�LETTER FROM THE BOARD
DEAR ALUMNI
& FRIENDS,
It is immensely gratifying to conclude this annual report on
such a celebratory note. Surpassing our Freeing Minds campaign
goal is a monumental achievement that will help ensure the
continued strength of St. John’s College for generations to come.
This is also an occasion for refection because it marks
yet another pivotal moment for the college—one of many
we have witnessed in the past few years. Lowering our
tuition in 2019 and reaching a balanced budget in 2021
are two other important examples. The launch of the
Pritzker Challenge, which will provide the resources to
make much-needed improvements to our beautiful and
historic campuses, is another.
How is it that our small college can stand so tall?
How have we been able, in less than a decade, to accomplish
so much?
The answer rests with the passion that alumni and
friends have for St. John’s—for the kind of education we
provide and the ideals we value: Open, frank conversations.
A willingness to entertain a different perspective and
challenge assumptions. A frm conviction that the restless,
exhilarating, profoundly rewarding search for truth and
understanding should be a journey accessible to anyone
who seeks it, regardless of personal background. And a
strong belief that this journey should last a lifetime.
These ideals fourish in few places but they fourish at
St. John’s College—and gifts to the Freeing Minds campaign
serve as a collective statement that this education will
endure because of its eternal value.
Our campaign success also points to a strength that
cannot be overstated: the St. John’s community. They
are alumni, staff, faculty, friends, and students. They are
the parents who see frsthand the impact of a St. John’s
education in their children’s lives and in their own.
20
ST. J O HN ’S CO LL EGE — 2022 REPORT
They are our neighbors in Annapolis and Santa Fe who

Thank you for leading the college forward. St. John’s
is indeed a college distinguished by its many strengths,
and our community is the strength that sustains them all.

2019 Report
for Alumni & Friends
ST. JOHN’S COLLEGE
�You told us that you care deeply about St. John’s
College but that a lot needed to change. You said
that tuition was too high. You were concerned
about student support and worried that our
rigorous Program, which changes lives so
profoundly, was sometimes undertaken at the
expense of life balance or mental and emotional
health. You felt that students were too often left
to their own devices to assemble the pieces of
their post-graduation plans. You told us all of this
and more. We heard your concerns and we acted
to help fll the gaps that you identifed. And then
we took a leap of faith. We asked you to partner
with us so we could lift those goals from the
written page to the real world, a process not
unlike the one we demand of our students. You
accepted that partnership … and it is working.

Dear Alumni & Friends,
We learn by questioning deeply held assumptions.
That’s what history’s greatest thinkers did when they
put long-standing ideas to the test, often breaking
through boundaries that few dared to breach. It’s what
we encourage our students to do when we ask them to
challenge those very same thinkers.
A college that champions that kind of intellectual
risk-taking should be willing to accept its own share
of scrutiny.
We did; and we asked for your help in bringing clarity
to our challenges. You answered, and we listened,
revising many long-standing assumptions in the process.
And we are confdent that this partnership is taking
St. John’s to an even better place.
The annual report you have before you will therefore
be celebratory, and justifably so. We have made
signifcant progress. We’ve had to embrace changes that
were challenging in many ways. We’ve had to dig deep
and make sacrifces. It has not been easy. It has not been
comfortable.
But it is working.
Those of us who come to St. John’s every day see it
working. We see it in the surging number of applications
from high school students who want to attend Summer
Academy. We see it when students share the news that
their resumes are getting attention, that prospective
employers are eager and curious to know more about a
St. John’s education.
We see it when students share their excitement over
intellectual accomplishments, like surviving their frst
Don Rags or successfully presenting a senior oral. We see
it in their faces when they row down College Creek or
make it to the top of Atalaya Mountain.
Perhaps most strikingly, we witness it in the feedback
we hear from our colleagues in higher education,
when they tell us that our bold move to reduce tuition
is garnering signifcant new attention for St. John’s.
Look no further than the decision made by Education
Dive, a leading education news publisher, to name us
“Four-Year College of the Year.”
Now is not the time for complacency, however. We still
have much more to accomplish together. The headwinds
facing higher education are growing stronger. So let’s
celebrate—and let’s keep going.
Gratefully,

The 2019 Dive Awards recognize the top innovators
and disruptors in higher education. In particular,
St. John’s College was chosen because of the aggressive
actions we took to reduce tuition, implement the
new fnancial model, contain administrative costs,
and reduce debt.
Furthermore, Education Dive notes that by exhibiting
fscal restraint while maintaining our focus on
students, we have distinguished St. John’s from a
slew of institutions that have simply reduced tuition
without making structural changes.
Winners were chosen by the editors of Education
Dive based on thorough and independent research,
reporting, and analysis. This is important to note,
because it means they weren’t basing their decisions
on what we told them. They investigated for themselves.
They looked at what we’ve done, what we continue to
do, and what we’ve overcome. They scrutinized us as
diligently as we’ve scrutinized ourselves.
WHY WE WON
How did our nation’s third oldest
college become the most innovative
college in America?

You told us quite clearly what we could do to attract more students to
St. John’s: bring tuition back down to earth; place it within closer
reach of average families; make our cost structure clearer and more
transparent to families; and simplify the archaic and Byzantine
process of tuition discounts.
We acted on your concerns with a dramatic tuition reset that
reduced our price tag by one-third, and this fall we welcomed
the frst incoming class to beneft from this new model. Despite

WE STILL FACE
SIGNIFICANT HEADWINDS.
Beginning in 2026, the number of high school students
will start to decline as children born during the 2008
recession reach college age. The decline will be steep,
with an estimated 15 percent drop in the collegebound population.
Census information tells us that this cohort will
not only be smaller, it will also include more students
who are the frst in their families to attend college and
more students from fnancially disadvantaged
communities.
We know what is coming, and we’re taking steps to
deal with it. We took the frst step—a huge step—with
our tuition reset.
But tuition costs are still a roadblock for many
students. This makes the success of our capital
campaign, retention initiatives, and enrollment
strategies all the more important.
Through the Freeing Minds campaign, we’re growing
our endowment in preparation for the challenges
ahead. This will help us to create more affordable
pathways to St. John’s and keep our distinctive
education accessible to students from a wide variety
of backgrounds.

attend St. John’s in Santa Fe for four years. In
addition, one high school junior per year from each
participating school will receive a full-tuition
scholarship to our Summer Academy in Santa Fe.
Teachers at participating schools will also be
eligible for an annual half-tuition scholarship to
attend the Graduate Institute over the course of four
summers, and one teacher per year will receive a
full-tuition scholarship to attend Summer Classics.
These educators will then promote St. John’s and
serve as advocates for our distinctive pedagogy
within their own schools.
The Southwest Scholars Partnership is part of
a targeted effort to spend our admissions dollars
more wisely while assisting students in a region
that has traditionally been underserved by liberal
arts education.
Thanks to an anonymous alumni gift in 2019, students
who come to St. John’s through the Davis United
World College Scholars Program are guaranteed a
full-tuition scholarship.
Having already earned an International
Baccalaureate diploma at select high schools around
the world, Davis Scholars are intellectual adventurers—
at home in discussion-based classes and comfortable
with diverse perspectives. Classic Johnnie qualities.
This partnership is especially signifcant because
the number of international students attending
schools in the United States is declining precipitously.
We are already seeing signs of this emerging trend at
St. John’s. While our domestic applications were up
14 percent—a remarkable accomplishment considering
that applications were down nationwide—we saw
fewer applications from international students.
The partnership with UWC will not only aid in
our long-term strategy to attract more international
students, but will also yield immediate fnancial
benefts. Each Davis Scholar who enrolls at St. John’s
arrives with $10,000 in funding from the Davis
Foundation. Once we have enrolled 40 Davis
Scholars, that fgure increases to $25,000.
Already 20 schools have signed agreements to
become Southwest Scholars partners, which will
allow us to deepen our relationship with the faculty,
administration, and students at each of these schools.
We currently have 17 Davis Scholars enrolled at
St. John’s and are diligently reaching out to students
at participating schools.

LIFE OUTSIDE THE SEMINAR
A St. John’s education can only be realized face-to-face, among a
community of co-learners who support one another inside and
outside the classroom—and who feel equally supported by the college.
That means ensuring that each campus offers a safe and welcoming
environment: one where every student is valued; every voice is
heard; and mental, emotional, and academic challenges are treated
with the care and concern that they warrant.
This has not always been a priority for St. John’s, and alumni
voices alongside our student retention rates have long told the story.
Things needed to change.
Enhancing the student experience has moved to the top of our
priorities. Although much work remains to be done, we have taken
decisive steps to create a campus environment where students want
to live, study, work, play … and stay. For all four years.

Raising retention rates on both campuses is the
college’s newest strategic initiative, which, if successful,
will bring mutually reinforcing gains on multiple fronts.

Greater selectivity means incoming freshmen are
better prepared for the college’s intense academic
expectations. The odds that they will stay increase,
our tuition revenue grows, and we can focus our
investments on continued academic success.

STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE
Through a variety of initiatives on both campuses, we are preparing
students to carry the lessons of the Great Conversation into their
post-graduation lives.
We recognize that this is an area where we have not always
provided suffcient support and services.
So we have made this a priority. Resume workshops, mock
interviews, networking events, and other initiatives are helping
students to explore their options, assemble a plan, and convey the
richness and breadth of their St. John’s education in ways that
employers and graduate schools can understand and appreciate.
Students are telling us … it’s working!
Internships give students a taste of real-world work experience while fellowships enable
them to dive deep into areas of potential post-graduate study.

IN TWO YEARS,
OUR STRUCTURAL
DEFICIT WILL BE GONE.
IF WE HAVE A DEFICIT,
WHY IS THERE A SURPLUS?
As the chart below indicates, the college continues to operate with
a defcit.
It is important, however, to view this in perspective: In 2016 our
defcit stood at $12 million, the unfortunate consequence of increased
expenses and lower student-derived revenue. We acted aggressively to
forestall a worsening situation and reverse course. Today our defcit
stands at $2.8 million, substantially below our $3.9 million defcit
goal for 2019. The college remains on track to achieve a balanced
budget by FY2021, contingent upon our continued fscal prudence,
modest enrollment growth, and an improved rate of student retention—
as well as continued support for the Freeing Minds campaign.
Although our audited fnancial statements indicate a surplus, we continue
to operate with a defcit. The primary reason for this discrepancy is that
our audited fnancial statements include forms of income that are not
immediately available for use. Multi-year pledges to the Freeing Minds
campaign constitute the most prominent example. These commitments,
while exceptionally generous and important, do not directly beneft our
operating budget until the pledges are fulflled and cash is received.
Despite our existing (but improving) defcit, our fnancial statements
paint a much rosier picture for the college. Amid a nationwide trend of
declining student-derived revenue, we achieved a net increase. This
result is partly due to the boost in applications and enrollment resulting
from increased media attention and our tuition reset, along with a small
reduction in the number of students seeking fnancial aid. The increase
might be modest, but in the current climate, it is nevertheless a strong
indicator that our new philanthropy-driven fnancial model is steadily
moving St. John’s to a position of greater strength.

WHAT’S ON OUR MINDS NOW?
A message from the Board of Visitors and Governors
Dear Alumni & Other Friends,
Yes, we have come a long way.
As you’ve seen in this report, we’ve achieved remarkable
progress in several areas through innovative problem-solving.
Enough, in fact, to earn us the title of Four-Year College of the Year.
St. John’s College, the third oldest college in the nation, is now seen
as an industry disruptor!
But there are challenges ahead. In particular, demographic
challenges: we can no longer count on growth in the college-age
population to continue. It is estimated that by the year 2029 the
college-bound population will have shrunk by 15 percent.
Small liberal arts colleges are perhaps the most vulnerable.
Many of our peer institutions have already fallen by the wayside,
shutting their doors after decades, even centuries, of educating
students. Demographic realities are indifferent to tradition.
So what do we do with the wind at our face? How do we keep this
college on the path to success in the next twelve months? By focusing
our energies on fve primary areas:
1 Improved retention rates. Supporting struggling students and
enhancing the campus experience are among our most important
priorities. St. John’s will never be ideal for everyone. The Program
is not intended to be easy. Some students will leave. But we can and
will do more to maintain a supportive infrastructure. Doing so will
raise our retention rates and yield benefts for the college as well as
the students.
2 Admissions growth. To keep our enrollment up, we cannot assume
that those who need us will fnd us. We have to go to them. Southwest
Scholars and our partnership with United World College Davis Scholars
are important avenues of outreach and will become even more so in
the years ahead.
3 The Graduate Institute. We must commit to the growth of our Graduate
Institute, which is less dependent on a specifc demographic cohort.
This will be an area of signifcant focus over the coming year.
4 Campus improvements. Campus improvements must proceed,
along with deferred maintenance projects that, if left unaddressed,
will only worsen.
5 Endowment growth. Finally, we must continue to grow our endowment,
which is inarguably the bedrock of our future and the primary
means by which a St. John’s education becomes accessible to
students who cannot otherwise afford us.
How will we accomplish all of the above? We will communicate
regularly and honestly on our progress. We will continue to listen
to your input. We will need your support! Besides the obvious (your
generosity), we need your assistance to communicate the value of
the Program to prospective students, parents, and opinion leaders.
With your active support we can overcome the national demographic
decline by connecting with a few hundred qualifed new students each
year, ensuring our campus populations stay robust. We will continue
to push forward in partnership and with thanks to all our supporters.

Ron Fielding

2020 Report

�˜°˛˝˙°ˆ ˇ°ˆ ˘°˛�
Beautiful things are diffcult.
P L AT O, T H E R E P U B L I C
�H O LDIN G S T RO N G
Dear Alumni & Friends,
What a strange and frequently frustrating year 2020 has been.
It now feels quite surreal to look back on the opening letter to our
previous annual report, written almost exactly one year ago. We
were bracing for demographic headwinds that were (and still are) on
their way, but we were also feeling rather optimistic, having just
earned recognition as “Four-Year College of the Year.”
Little did we know how quickly the world would change.
There is simply no way to talk about 2020 without recognizing
the damage this change has inficted on the college. It was a year that
hit us fnancially, although we did far better than most other small
colleges. It was a wearying, stressful year for our staff and tutors and
especially for our students, who spent nine months engaging with
the Program remotely. While we believe we were successful at
making the best of the situation and that many of our online classes
were successful, we know that we did not provide the kind of college
experience our students dreamed of or expected. Many struggled,
and while we are optimistic that a vast majority will return to the
college, more than a few chose to defer their enrollment.
This is our reality, even if it isn’t the one we anticipated or wanted.
We cannot sugarcoat it but neither should we be overly dismayed.
Because although 2020 might have indeed been a strange year, it
was not a static one. It was a year in which we made considerable
progress toward a number of important institutional goals, and we
did so in spite of the challenges of the pandemic, and because of the
generosity and perseverence of alumni and friends who are
committed to seeing us through to the other side of this storm.
We have good reasons for thinking we can get there.
3
Our Freeing Minds campaign and, consequently, our endowment
continue to grow, providing a protective buffer that helps to safeguard
the college as we make our way through these challenging times.
Although pandemic-related expenses and lost revenue have been
painful, we were still able to meet our 2020 defcit reduction goal—
a remarkable achievement that positions us to better absorb the
challenges that are still to come.
We have also made great strides in our efforts to support and
care for students, and we are doing more to help them fnd and afford
St. John’s, to succeed at the Program, and to enjoy doing so.
The latter is especially important. Our Program is, after all, the
heart of who we are as a liberal arts college, and it is the reason and
the inspiration for all the goals we have set together. This part of our
work cannot be adequately conveyed in facts and fgures, so we have
tried to let our students and tutors tell this side of the story, to reveal
in their own words the strange year that was 2020 and the moments
of magic and wonder that could still be found within it.
We hope the thoughts they have shared leave you feeling
confdent that the college is on a promising path, one that remains
worthy of your involvement and support. No matter what 2021
brings, we must resolve to stay the course, to be vigilant, and to focus
on our highest priority: providing an education that transforms the
lives and frees the minds of all who seek it.
Gratefully,
Mark Roosevelt

We acted early and pivoted quickly.
AS°THE°
GLOBAL°
CRISIS°
UNFOLDED˛°
HOW°DID°
ST˜°JOHN’S°
RESPOND?
When it became clear in mid-March that the outbreak was spreading
globally, we swiftly transitioned to remote operations, with both
campuses open only to essential staff and to students who were
unable to safely return home to their families. Driven by our shared
purpose and a growing confdence in our institutional effcacy, we
pulled together as a community to ensure that the work of the college
would continue.
Within a two-week time frame, staff were connected remotely and
online classes were up and running—a rapid turnaround for a college
that has long been skeptical of the virtual world.
Our support systems sprang into action.
We immediately mobilized our support services to care for the health and
well-being of students who were forced to adapt to new circumstances
and unfamiliar routines while isolated from their usual peer support
systems.
In addition to maintaining open lines of communication, St. John’s
staff and faculty helped students to access mental health care, connect
with academic assistants, navigate changes to summer internships and
fellowships, and locate additional resources in their own communities.
Alumni and friends stepped forward
in generous ways.
As soon as the announcement was made that students would need to leave
campus, our St. John’s community rallied around students to ensure
that their needs, ranging from food and shelter to transportation
and moving supplies, were met. To provide additional support,
the college launched the St. John’s Student Emergency Relief Fund,
raising more than $77,000 to assist struggling students. Gifts came
not only from alumni but also from parents and friends, who in some
cases returned the refunds they received for room and board and
canceled events.
�H O LDIN G S T RO N G
We listened to and learned from our
students and tutors.
Throughout the crisis, we have done what Johnnies do best: ask questions.
Once we were confdent that our students were safe, our next course
of action was to survey our students and tutors to assess their
technological needs and their perception of our initial efforts at
delivering the Program online. What can be done to improve our labs
and tutorials? How can we lessen the impact of screen fatigue? These
are the kinds of questions we asked of those who are in the best
position to judge the quality of our work together.
“Jobs for Johnnies” helped
connect students with
potential employers.
The economic hardships faced by our current students
have also been felt by new graduates, who found
themselves entering the workforce at a time of rising
unemployment. Through Jobs for Johnnies, a new
initiative led by the St. John’s Board of Visitors and
Governors, more than 50 students from the Class
of 2020 were matched with 19 board members, who
are leveraging their connections to help these new
alumni fnd work in the toughest job market since
the Great Depression.
We took advantage of opportunities to
offset our revenue losses.
St. John’s was one of the frst colleges to apply for and receive federal relief
funds through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
(CARES) Act and Paycheck Protection Program. Funds totaling $5.6
million helped to mitigate the losses we incurred from room and
board refunds and the cancellation of on-campus programming and
events. We also entered into an agreement with the U.S. Naval
Academy to house approximately 380 midshipmen on our Annapolis
campus during the Fall 2020 semester.
7
We acted to protect our enrollment.
Before the announcement was made that online classes would resume for
Fall 2020, St. John’s was on track to meet enrollment goals. Interest
was especially strong in Santa Fe, where domestic applications rose
more than 20 percent, in comparison to a nationwide decline.
Following the announcement, many students sought to defer
enrollment to future terms, so we brought back a spring entry
term for Annapolis freshmen, parallel to the “January Freshmen”
experience already offered in Santa Fe. Of the 292 students we
expected to enroll in the fall, 59 opted to wait until Spring 2021 and
enter as “Febbies” in Annapolis or “January Freshmen” in Santa Fe.
Another 65 students chose to defer for a full year and begin their
St. John’s experience in Fall 2021, as members of the Class of 2025.
We engaged our
incoming freshmen
early on as Johnnies.
We are staying close to
students who withdrew
from the college.
Staff and student ambassadors provided
new Johnnies with opportunities to
sample the St. John’s experience during
the crucial summer months—when
admitted students are especially
vulnerable to the lure of competing offers
from other colleges and universities.
The Meno (complete with St. John’s
branding) and the Iliad got students
started on two of their frst Program
readings; the Summer Book Club series
added their emerging voices to the Great
Conversation; and “Goethe in a Box”
offered a sneak peek into freshman lab
and to the intersection of art and science.
Student withdrawals have increased as the
effects of the pandemic continue to hit
hard, prompting a vigorous effort to
keep these students involved in the life
of the college—and in their studies. This
fall we took the unusual step of allowing
students who withdrew for pandemicrelated reasons to retain their St. John’s
email accounts along with their access to
many of the college’s resources, including
our online platforms, study groups,
social activities, and support services.

The pandemic thrust all of higher education into a virtual world—
one where St. John’s has far less experience than many of our peers.
In doing so, the crisis has revealed much about our capabilities, our
resourcefulness, and our capacity to make dramatic shifts in how we
engage with the Program and one another.
The pandemic has not been the only author of these lessons,
however. Our students, tutors, and alumni continue to point out the
areas where we are living up to our reputation as the most rigorous,
most contrarian college in America—and the areas where we still have
work to do.

The transition to online learning has shown that many elements of
our work are still possible in a remote format. Seminars in particular
have gone quite well, with videoconferencing platforms serving as
an accommodating, if imperfect, host for spirited discussion.
But what of the chalkboard and the pendulum? Can the online
classroom still give rise to wonder or enchantment—or friendship?
Like many of the questions we ask in the classroom, defnitive
answers are likely to elude us.
What is more certain is that our students and tutors have not
shied away from the challenge. They continue to collaborate
creatively and earnestly to bring the magic of our seminars, labs,
and tutorials to life in the digital realm.

On the Great Books and a pandemic.
Who would have anticipated that a Great Books education could
teach students to cope with a pandemic?
I have come to appreciate Epictetus’ stoicism. It made me ask
myself, ‘What can I control?’ and ‘How can I make that work?’
Making the uniquely contrarian classroom experience work during
these times has been a team effort. I believe that every single
Johnnie understands this, so we are doing our part. We are keeping
the conversations going, we are translating our Greek, and we are
adjusting to demonstrating math props via technological options.
Johnnies will always be Johnnies, and aspects of the in-person
class have migrated over to this new frontier: the subtle interruptions,
the occasional eerie silence, and the quintessential Johnnie phrase
‘it seems to me …’ have all been a part of this virtual experience.
Perhaps our global situation is allowing us to put the philosophy
we discuss into practice, teaching us that we must be willing to
sacrifce and commit to whatever needs to be done in order to return
to our beautiful campus that we hold dear.

The Program is a deeply human experience because we get to talk
about ideas regardless of our own identities—to transcend our
locality, the limitations of our own bodies, gender, ethnicity,
sexuality, and enter the world of the author.
That we cannot be physically closer adds a barrier, but I am
starting to get over the newness of ‘cyber-relating.’ I have found
myself using technology to pore over Ancient Greek homework with
a couple of classmates every week; to joke and complain about my
children with a classmate who is also a parent; and to pray with
another. I appreciate that I could spill my anxieties over the
impending death of Antony in Shakespeare’s play with my literature
tutorial tutor. I love that my Politics and Society seminar tutor is
stoking in me a love for Ancient Greek harmonic chords. I appreciate
that my Kierkegaard preceptorial tutor took the time to get to know
me over a virtual coffee break.
I consider it a great privilege to be part of such a community, even
though it is not yet fully experienced in person.

We quickly discovered that video can be a quite useful tool: it can be
paused to point out a specifc detail, rewound to a crucial moment, or
simply played again from the beginning. Nevertheless, a video will
always be a poor substitute for hands-on experience. One of my
duties as lab assistant has been to encourage students to design their
own practica—something that many students have taken to with
gusto. So far, I have helped design practica that range from dropping
soccer balls off fre escapes to investigating relative motion involving
the use of a canoe!
Our laboratory director made sure that every junior received a
Newton’s Cradle, which will allow them to conduct their own
experiments on colliding bodies. To help freshmen with their
module on measurement and equilibrium, we are sending them
homemade baros kits, complete with a balance beam, a lump of clay,
and the baros weight itself.

On DIY labs for the at-home scientist.
Source texts provide the refective core of our labs, but physical
engagement with the phenomena plays an important role, whether
we are classifying pine needles or cowering in a Faraday cage while
electricity crackles overhead.
Interactive activities have allowed students to conduct
experiments, albeit through the thin channel of screen and camera.
Lab assistants are on site to offer commentary and respond to
requests. While an assistant measures the mass-to-charge ratio of
an electron, an online student might ask ‘Can you try increasing the
voltage on the Helmholtz coil?’ In many ways, this parallels the kind
of experience that students might have had in the labs.
Experimentation that can be done at home is supported with DIY
kits. For example, students used small college-provided microscopes
to re-experience some of the wonder that Robert Hooke experienced
when the frst microscopes changed our relationship with the
knowable world and with our own senses.

On keeping the seminar
questions going.
Avi
Kumar
St. John’s classroom requires a kind of intimacy—we speak to each
other directly, separated but related by the seminar table. In the
absence of this physical proximity, the quality of conversation was
bound to suffer, along with the connections and relations we would
build. To some extent, this has been true, especially because the
stake is reduced in an online conversation; people’s natural
reluctance to unmute themselves in a classroom has been multiplied
when it requires them to literally unmute themselves by a click
of the mouse.
That said, the culture created by years of learning how to speak
to each other and to ask meaningful questions has been our saving
grace. It is my unashamed conviction that I would do the St. John’s
program online over any other kind of in-person education. This is a
testament to the fact that the highest kind of education can’t be
destroyed by external constraints.
(A21)
On the Program’s power
to break barriers.
Brendan
Boyle
Online classrooms are quite unlike physical classrooms, and yet in
some ways similar. One by one, fellow students will pop into view like
stars and the screen adjusts for them, not too different from entering
a physical room and getting your chairs. The screen does have its
drawbacks, but the seminar can still shake up our heads, spark
insights, and bring us together.
The all-college seminar on Joseph Conrad’s ‘Amy Foster’ was no
exception. On and on we went, with our understanding gradually
growing underneath the banter. We were earnest but comfortable,
jokes were made, and yet it was serious, a sort of intellectual
communion. In fact, it felt like the barrier of screens made tutor and
student alike want to grasp the most from those feeting two hours.
At the end, we stayed a moment to talk and enjoy a glimpse into each
other’s lives that we might not have gotten otherwise. Who has a cat?
Where are they? What’s your favorite mug?
At best, the online experience makes it so much easier for those
who couldn’t be at St. John’s physically. At worst, it is a necessary but
temporary roadblock on our quest.
Annapolis Tutor
“
On making the Program a priority over
digital distractions.
When classes moved online, the biggest fear in my mind was the
possibility of being distracted. The almost-sacred experience of
discussing the Great Books was under threat of being desecrated by
a meme or social media post that was just another click or swipe
away. Hegel and Einstein had to fght with Instagram and Facebook
for my attention, and there was no ‘Johnnie bubble’ shielding my
rendezvous with history’s greatest thinkers. I had to articulate for
myself why the Great Books are worth reading.
Finding ways to demarcate that space for reading, thinking, and
discussing was tougher in the absence of physical classrooms, but
the reward was greater too. I developed a heightened awareness of
the importance of our liberal education to society and the fragility of
this experience in our age of distraction.

On fnding hope beyond the fatigue.
It’s been a hard semester. Conversation is the lifeblood of the college,
and conversation requires presence. No one actually thinks that
conversation can’t happen virtually; of course it can. But only
conversation of a sort—and it can’t go on indefnitely, if only because
it drains the conversation partners, without affording them the
renewal that comes from physical presence.
I think that more than anything else our students and tutors are
tired, literally and physically—which is all the more reason I admire
just how much extra work my colleagues have done. They are
creating videos to stand-in for practica, testing different kinds of
‘hybrid’ classroom technology, and accomplishing so much with
tools they probably never imagined they would be using.
I know that people often talk about ‘coming back better than
ever,’ and that’s a cliche which I would normally prefer to avoid.
But I actually think it will be true.

Through our Graduate Institute and community seminars, St. John’s
makes the Program available to intellectually adventurous adults
who seek to wrestle with questions fundamental to the human
condition and our shared pursuit of truth.
We have long known that our Program is attractive to lifelong
learners, but residential requirements can make it an unrealistic
option for adults whose circumstances tie them to a particular area.
The transition to online classes gave us an opportunity to test a
solution that could potentially expand our accessibility—with
surprising results: not only are adult students eager to engage with
the Program, but they are also willing to connect remotely.
Following the announcement that the Graduate Institute would
offer online classes for Fall 2020, demand for all degree programs
surged, with more than 40 percent of new students indicating that
the online option signifcantly infuenced their decision to enroll.
To ensure that these new students—many of whom live far from
Annapolis or Santa Fe—can complete their degrees at St. John’s,
our faculty approved an instructional proposal that will permit
online classes to continue at the Graduate Institute for at least three
more years.

The pandemic has ushered in a new college recruitment experience,
one in which traditional campus tours and college fairs have largely
ceased to exist.
In their place are digital tools that have the potential to dramatically
expand our reach in a highly competitive environment.
Our growing confdence with these tools is helping the college to
creatively leverage our strengths—our Program, small classes, and two
distinctive campuses—in ways that bring us into conversation with
future Johnnies who might not fnd us on their own.
OUR°VIRTUAL°RECRUITMENT°TOOLBOX
Although we assembled our virtual toolbox in response to the unusual
circumstances of the past year, many of these tools are likely to outlive this
moment and permanently supplement our in-person efforts.
Great Books Summer Seminars: This virtual twist on Summer Academy
exceeded last year’s record on-campus participation, attracting more than
330 high school students, almost all of whom signed up for multiple weeks.
School visits and college fairs: Our admissions team conducted virtual visits
with more than 900 schools over the Fall semester—some for the frst time
ever—and without the costs associated with travel.
Saturday Seminars: These online tutor-guided seminars enable future students
to go beyond classroom observation and dive right into the discussion. Our
frst three seminars attracted 60 students, with more seminars on the way.
Invitations to events and lectures: Families who are unable to visit our
campuses can still share in some of our most compelling moments together.
LiveChat: The admissions section of the St. John’s website is now a place for
real-time conversation as well as content.
Virtual campus tours: Future students can choose from quick tours that are
available 24 hours a day on our website or register for real-time small-group
sessions with a St. John’s admissions counselor and a current student.

MAKING°A°DIFFERENCE°
FOR°STUDENTS˜°
As stress and loneliness take their toll, students have told us how
deeply they miss our campuses, our cherished traditions, and the
closeness that comes with physical community.
They have also told us that shared discoveries are being made
even in separation, that they are fnding strength in persevering
together as Johnnies, and that our efforts to support them are helping.
Students, faculty, and staff have found
clever ways to build connections and
recreate the closeness and camaraderie
of campus life.
“At frst we were joking and acting giddy, then we delved into a
conversation about what the seminar truly is and means for all
students, especially underrepresented students. From awkward
chitchat to deep conversations, the virtual sophomore dinner
with the college president felt just like those wonderfully weird
Johnnie experiences I remember on campus.”
Running has emerged as a communitybuilding exercise for at-home Johnnies,
with more than 100 Annapolis students
participating in distance and time
challenges.
Ian Howell (A24)
Summer internships continued during
the pandemic, giving students the
opportunity to gain experience while
they explore career options.
“Older students spend hours online helping younger students
comprehend their seminar readings or prepare a Ptolemaic proof.
A student mentioned her quarantine birthday with sadness; days
later, flowers and stuffed animals appeared at her door.”
Johnnie Family Feud was one of several
online cross-campus competitions that
gave students a creative outlet and an
opportunity to win prizes.
“Johnnie Family Feud was exactly what students needed—to joke,
to play, to use what we have learned to have a good time. It’s
absurd that Aristotle can be both a Johnnie favorite and a least
favorite! With the world as serious as it has ever been, what better
way to relax than to make fun of the things we hold so dear?”
Tessa Wild (A23), resident advisor
Campbell Lozuaway-McComsey (SF22)
“I went into an internship with St. Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal
Church to begin my discernment process—and with that, fnd
faith. I have now been propelled into discernment and had my
understanding of faith redefned. This internship has helped me
wrestle with who I am and who I am meant to be.”
Christopher Campbell (SF21)
Aided by the Offce of Student Life, 21
international students and four resident
advisors spent the Fall semester living,
learning, and supporting one another on
a quiet Santa Fe campus.
Fellowships also continued during the
pandemic, enabling students to pursue
postgraduate study or gain new skills.
“We gather for takeaway dinners, go on hikes, and we’re planning
a ‘get to know someone from another residence hall’ event. We
are on our way to becoming a very close-knit community.”
Elsie Jang (SF23), resident advisor
“To study art with the old masters, you must retrain your eye, the
relationship between your mind and hand, and your mentality.

product. We come here to leave with hundreds of attempts.”
Rory Quinn Johnson (A22)
Bryn Frye-Mason (SF23)
The majority of St. John’s resident
advisors conducted their work remotely
over the Fall semester, but they remained
on the front lines of student support.
“My experience with isolation has led to a deep appreciation for
running with others, even if we are not running at the same time
or place. There is something about working toward a shared goal
that transcends geography. I have realized how important that
feeling is, what it does for my mental health, and how it can spill
over into other areas of my life.”
Across two campuses, more than 70
student academic assistants offer peer
to peer support. In true Johnnie style,
some have invested in their own
portable chalkboards.
From squat-jumps to mountain
climbing, intramural ftness challenges
helped students fght mental and
physical fatigue.
“Despite being online, our freshman study group bounced ideas
off one another with friendly energy. We even stayed an extra
hour, pondering whether Euclid was implying exponents. I came
away reinspired, confdent that the math culture from my own
freshman year was alive and well.”
Maebh Hurley (SF23), math assistant
“Encouraged by all the ftness challenges, I exercise outside
every day, and I join the online meditation classes regularly.
Doing so has kept me active during a diffcult time, helped me to
maintain a healthy mindset, and released the accumulated
stress of senior year and staying inside too long!”

The lessons of the past 12 months have been a reminder that change
need not be unwelcome. It can instead be an impetus for progress as
well as a lens that allows us to see more clearly where progress needs
to be made.
That is the approach that we as a college community have taken
over the past few years as we looked to the horizon and saw the
potential consequences of evolving student demographics and our
rising structural defcit.
Because we made changes when we did, the pandemic found
St. John’s in a position of relative strength—and we have reason to
believe it will leave us even stronger.
But now is not the time to let down our guard.
The challenges that preceded the pandemic have
not gone away. To be ready, we must hold strong
to that which defnes us—our commitment to a
transformational and accessible education centered
on discussion of the Great Books—and we must
remain open to changes that help us to do so.

Throughout the crisis, Annapolis has continued to provide
a full range of medical services, including individual,

In Santa Fe, licensed therapists are available for private
counseling sessions through videoconferencing.
Both campuses are collaborating to
provide students with access to a
variety of online wellness workshops
covering topics ranging from suicide
prevention to healthy eating.
As the most rigorous college in America, St. John’s will never be easy,
nor do we want it to be. What we do want is for St. John’s to be a place
where students who are struggling to balance the demands of the
Program with other areas of life can fnd the support they need.
Over the years our alumni and students, including those
students who ultimately withdrew from the college, have spoken of
the diffculties they faced when seeking help—help that, for some
students, might have enabled them to remain at the college.
Both campuses have responded by substantially expanding the
scope of their health and wellness services and have taken steps
during the pandemic to make them accessible to students who are
connecting remotely.

In summer 2020, the college convened a board-led Diversity and Inclusion Task
Force as part of our continuing effort to learn how life at St. John’s is experienced,
particularly by students whose racial or ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs,
or political views are underrepresented at the college.
The frst phase of this effort involved surveying our community and conducting
interviews on both campuses. The 23 percent survey response rate was well
above the norm, and 20 percent of completed surveys came from respondents
who identify as Black, Indigenous, and other people of color. The next steps
include analyzing the data and making recommendations aimed at creating a
healthier campus culture.
Community input is welcome at any stage of this process. Reach out to the
task force at taskforces@sjc.edu
The board is closely monitoring the
effcacy of these and other initiatives
using software that allows the college
to track student withdrawals and
identify emerging trends.
A new student support coordinator
serves as an additional resource for
students, with a special focus on
supporting our international, Pell grant,
and UWC Davis Scholars.
Both campuses are also supporting students in their
efforts to support one another. In Annapolis, an
LGBTQIA support group helps students cope with
issues surrounding gender identity and sexual
orientation. In Santa Fe, the SJC Student Circle gives
students an opportunity to build relationships across
grade levels and share coping strategies.
In addition to these organized efforts,
tutors, resident advisors, and student
assistants have maintained extensive
offce hours throughout the pandemic,
often making themselves available for
virtual coffee and conversation at all
hours of the day, every day.

STUDENT°SUCCESS˜
I survived St. John’s … barely.
For many alumni, these fve words constitute a familiar refrain—
and for the college, an unwanted one. Graduating from St. John’s
should be an accomplishment, not the matter of survival that our
alumni feel it has too often been.
Surveys of graduating seniors reveal the depth of the love that
students have for the Program, for our tutors, and for the lasting
rewards of the St. John’s experience. They also reveal that more than
half of our students have, at some point, felt so unprepared for the
unique demands of that experience that they gave serious thought to
leaving the college.
We have listened; we have made improvements; and as a result of
support for the Freeing Minds campaign, we are making even more.
In summer 2020, St. John’s launched the Pritzker Promise Bridge
Program, a cross-campus initiative aimed at equipping new students
with the tools, skills, and resources they need to succeed at the
college. Funded through a generous campaign gift from the Jay
Pritzker Foundation, the program—the frst of its kind at St. John’s–
is part of a collegewide effort to improve retention, particularly
among students who have limited sources of outside support.

How the Bridge Program works
In its inaugural year, the program consisted primarily of faculty and
staff-led virtual workshops, with content and availability tailored to
meet the needs and distinctive demographics of each campus. In
Annapolis, the sessions were open only to Pell-eligible students, who
are among our most fnancially vulnerable students. Santa Fe made
most of its workshops available to all incoming freshmen but
reserved some sessions exclusively for particularly high-risk groups,
including frst generation students and international students.

Through our board-led Jobs for Johnnies program, volunteers helped new
graduates to polish their job-search toolkits and prepare for one of the
toughest job markets in decades.
The inaugural Johnnies in Tech+ panel discussion, led by four accomplished
Johnnies in tech-related felds, brought students and alumni together
for a conversation on the benefts of a St. John’s education in a rapidly
evolving industry.
Despite the disruption caused by campus closures, Career Services in
Annapolis and the Offce of Personal and Professional Development in Santa
Fe continued to host—albeit virtually—a full suite of workshops, with sessions
on writing resumes, applying for internships and fellowships, and researching
graduate schools.

WE°CONTINUE°TO°PRIORITIZE°
AFFORDABILITY˜
Consistent with
our commitment to
accessibility and
affordability, tuition
will remain frozen at
$35,000 for the third
year in a row.
Our percentage of Pell-eligible freshmen, whose
families are typically in the lower and middle-income
brackets, rose to 28 percent in Fall 2020, up from
23 percent, as the result of a transformational
campaign gift—the Pritzker Promise—that allows us
to match 100 percent of a student’s Pell funding.
Unlike the pandemic, which swept across higher education with little
warning, affordability is a crisis that has been staring small colleges
in the face.
At St. John’s we saw the writing on the wall, and we acted to keep
the college within reach. We took the frst big step in 2018 when we
lowered our tuition by one-third, reversing a decade of increases and
returning our sticker price to a level that better refects reality.
Two years later, our lower and more reasonable tuition remains
in place—but so too does the growing chasm between those who can
and cannot afford to pay.
The pandemic did not create these conditions, but it has greatly
exacerbated them. As is often the case, the fnancial impact of the
global crisis has been an unbalanced one, with lower-income and
working-class families experiencing the brunt of the economic pain.
Against this backdrop, we are intensifying our efforts to keep
St. John’s accessible and affordable to students from a wide variety
of backgrounds.
St. John’s is now partnering with 21 high schools through the Southwest Scholars Program, a donorfunded initiative aimed at recruiting more students to our Santa Fe campus from the American
Southwest. Applications from students at participating schools rose 33 percent in 2020, a strong
indication that the program is extending our reach.
Prior to the pandemic, 18 partner schools were represented at our frst fly-in event, which brought key
school personnel to campus for an immersive three-day experience. These educators will serve as
ambassadors who help students learn about the college and the resources, including $5,000
scholarships for eligible students, that can make us an affordable option.
One of our most reliable pipelines for international students is the global network of high
schools that make up the United World Colleges. This proved to once again be the case in
2020, with the number of UWC admissions up 50 percent.

are able to join us and our current students are able to remain, we are moving closer to
our target of 40 UWC students at St. John’s. At this point the funding we receive from the
Davis Foundation will more than double, rising from $10,000 per student to $25,000.

Structural Defcit ¹ ²
(in millions of dollars)
FY 16
First, the good news. As a result of solid enrollment, strong support
for the Freeing Minds campaign, and funding from the CARES Act and
Paycheck Protection Program, we met our FY20 defcit reduction
goal. The graph to the right illustrates just how far we have come
since 2016, when our defcit peaked at $12 million. To have put the
bulk of our defcit behind us in the midst of so much turbulence is a
remarkable achievement.
That makes it all the more disappointing to report that the
college will not meet our goal of a balanced budget in FY21. We now
anticipate a relatively small FY21 defcit of approximately $1 million,
although that fgure could rise to $3 million if we are unable to open
one or both campuses.
As disappointing as these revised expectations might seem, it is
important to remember that we entered this crisis with a greatly
improved fnancial picture—a claim that not many small colleges can
make. When the year began, we were on course to achieve our
balanced budget, and had the pandemic not intervened, we would
have done so.
We also possess competitive advantages, including a philanthropycentered fnancial model and an unwavering commitment to our
distinctive academic Program, that position us to reach a balanced
budget in the very near future.

WHY°DO°OUR°
FINANCIAL°
STATEMENTS°SHOW°
A°SURPLUS?
Although our audited fnancial
statements indicate revenue of
$75 million for FY20, our actual
operating revenue was only
$44 million. Our Freeing Minds
campaign is largely responsible
for this discrepancy. For accounting
purposes, multi-year pledges are
recorded in the year in which the
commitment is made. These gifts,
however, are not available for the
college to use until the pledges
are honored and cash is received.
This makes pledge fulfllment
an important part of the
campaign and of St. John’s
fnancial health.

A message from the Board of Visitors and Governors
Dear Alumni & Other Friends,
In bringing this 2020 annual report to a close, we ask that you return
for a moment to the frst page and to this passage from Plato’s Republic:
˜°˛˝˙°ˆ ˇ°ˆ ˘°˛�. Beautiful things are diffcult.
Every year our freshman encounter these words, critique them,
wrestle with them. This year, more than any other in recent memory,
they have been asked to live them, to turn diffcult circumstances
into something beautiful. As the stories in this report reveal, they
have performed admirably.
Over the past 12 months, and indeed for the past few years,
our larger college community has been asked to do something very
similar, and we too have risen to the challenge. We have struggled
our way through reducing an operating defcit that peaked at
$12 million in 2016. Without the loss of revenue due to the virus,
we would have achieved a balanced budget in this fscal year.
We have listened to the struggles of our alumni, many of whom
told us of the diffculties they faced in transitioning to St. John’s—
how unprepared they were for our discussion-based classes and
how unsupported they felt—and we responded by building new
support systems.
This is heartening, and we can rightly be proud of all that has
been accomplished in the midst of global upheaval. But Plato’s words
do not live only in yesterday. St. John’s is not done with diffcult times;
and we are not done listening to the diffculties faced by others,
especially our frst generation students and our students of color.
So what does this mean for the year ahead and for the years to
come? What will keep us holding strong … and moving forward?
Our Program, sustained by the generosity of those who love and
value it, will keep us holding strong. It is the indisputable core of
who we are as the most rigorous, most contrarian college in America.
It is why we build more support systems for students—so we can
maintain the rigor of the Program while also increasing the number
of students who can meet its demands.
What will keep us moving forward is a continued openness to
changing what needs to be changed. The Diversity & Inclusion Task
Force that the board convened this summer is just part of our
continuing effort to reach out to our alumni and students to fnd out
what we do well, what we can improve, and how we can ensure that
our students have a life-changing experience, regardless of
background or gender.
Our work over the past few years has already resulted in many
changes, but we have more to do. Completing the task of strengthening
the college’s fnances and the scaffolding that supports the Program
will take time and effort; it will take generosity; and it will take all of
us: every board member, every tutor, every alum, and every friend.
We must continue to work together, and give generously together,
with the understanding that a stronger future for St. John’s College
will be a beautiful reward.
Gratefully,
