Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Abstract</strong><br />The scope of the materials in this collection is focused on St. John’s College, Annapolis, particularly related to its functions, activities, and perceptions of St. John’s College in the news media. Records include items such as correspondence with public figures, planning notes for public activities, newspaper clippings about the College, essays and published materials, along with some assorted ephemera. While the bulk of the materials are from the 20th century, some items date back into the 18th and 19th century. Because of the breadth of time covered by the collection, many important cultural and educational milestones are represented in the materials. It is also worth noting that the St. John’s College Santa Fe campus is occasionally mentioned in these records, though it is not the focus of the collection.<br /><p><strong>Arrangement<br /></strong>Items are arranged in series by type of record (such as Correspondence) or subject matter (such as 275<sup>th</sup> Anniversary).</p>
<p><strong>Related Material<br /></strong>Almost all of the materials pertaining to the history of St. John’s College prior to 1900 are housed at the Maryland State Archives. For permission to access to these collections see the Director of the St. John’s College Greenfield Library. The St. John’s College archives collections also include materials related to: commencement; admissions; Dr. Richard Weigle; Hector Humphrey; other college officials, etc. These materials are housed in separate collections but may also be useful to consult. </p>

INAUGUR~l
ADDRESS
PRESIDENT JOHN SPANGLER KIEFFER
Governor Lane, Mr. Chairman, Dr. VanDusen, distinguished
delegates from our sister institutions, honored guests, ladies and
gentlemen:
A sense of privilege fills me today as I assume formally the
office to which the Board of Visitors and Governors of St.
John's College elected me last April. It is the privilege of heading the administration of the St. John's program, in the beginning of which I shared ten years ago, and in the development of
which I have had a part ; and the privilege of being president
of St. John's College, where I have spent eighteen years of my
teaching life.
Eighteen years is a brief time in comparison with the two
hundred and fifty years of St. John 's College, but it is nearly
half of the years of active teaching a teacher may expect. It is
long enough to have seen four and half college generations pass
through these halls. In eighteen years I have come to know as
students and friends alumni of the college who are now established
in their careers, as useful and distinguished citizens. I have come
to feel myself an Annapolitan, and to have a sense of pride that
my life has been lived in the capital of my native state. My pride
is multiplied many times by my association with this institution
which has since the early days of the colony been engaged in teaching th e liberal arts and training young men to become useful to
the society in which they live, and ornaments to their community.
Times have changed since those days of post war confusion when King William's School, the old colonial institution
of the liberal arts , was being rechartered as St, John's College.
The first classes o f what George Washington lauded as an infant
seminary were soon to meet in Annapolis at the time that the
delega tes from the sovereign states were coming together at the
Annapolis convention-the convention which , abortive in itself,
was glorious as the forerunner of the Philadelphia convention.
Then St. John 's was conceived as serving not even all Maryland
but the W estern Shore as our sister Washington College served
the Eastern Shore . Those days of slow communication have given
place to this day of almost instantaneous transport from place
to place. The little college for the local MaryLmd community
has become an institution to which students from far-away California come more quickly than did boys from St. Mary's county
a century and a half ago.
Communication is, however , not merely a matter of oxcart
and aeroplane. Though the students of a century and a half ago
traveled longer to Annapolis than do those today who travel
farther, they came to study under a curriculum that brought them
�into immediate communication with their fellows at Harvard
and William and Mary, at Dickinson and Franklin and Marshall,
as well as with their fellows a0ross the water and across the ages
back to the legendary beginnings of the European universities.
Under the classical curriculum of that time the liberally educated
man had a sure basis of communication with all educated men.
H e had an insight into the best that had been thought and said
by previous generations and he would be understood by his peers no
matter what their college.
How different is ed ucation today! Our colleges not only
pursue diverse aims and separate into schools that stress one subject or another, but within any one college departmental lines
and the special Languages of special subjects h ave all too often made
it impossible for men who hold the same degree from the same
institution to talk to one another.
To· meet this situation St. John's College instituted the
so-called Great Books curriculum ten yea rs ago. It is this program
which we are carrying on despite the change in administration
which today's exercises mark. As I assume the presidency of St.
John's College I make no proclamation of new p olicy. The program that Stringfellow Barr and Scott Buchanan began ten years
ago has so .taken hold of Board , of faculty and students that to
every one of them it is unthinkable that we should be doing anything other than we are. It has awakenend a response so widespread
among other teachers, among parents and amo ng people generally
that we could not if we would, depart from it. To a nation
desperately in need that communication be reestablished among
its citizens, St. John's has offered a way to recover our common
tongue.
By recovering our common tongue I do not mean reverting
to the idiom of the past. The noble words of the D eclaration of
Independance and the Preamble to the Constitution still have
the power to move our souls ; but the revolution that began then
and is rising now to the intensity of a hurricane has swept away
most of the intellectual foundation of their language. We have
set ourselyes -the high purpose of translating that language into
an idiom appropriate to today.
The St. John's curriculum presupposes that there is a unity
of knowledge· which informs men's efforts to understand their
world, and ·that in the Great Books of Western Civilization
men 's successes and fruitful failures from .Homer to the present
day haye been recon;led . Until classical equcatjon shriveled into
i "clo.sed and sterile classicism its tradition, pl.ade oJ many strands,
allowed ~he m~nds of successive gen~rations" by reflection . and by
ex per~ment tq -~ake for tp~mselve~ forms ·for understanqing_their
expenence.
�The natural sciences, like Napoleon ·shattering the Holy
Roman Empire, shattered with the full vigor of their crude new
power, the empire of the classics. The classics continued in the
curriculum on sufferance, a Vienna venerated for its architecture
and ancient culture. Meanwhile the imperium of the mind was
Balkanized. A balance of power among sovereign states came
into b eing as the elective system. The later attempts to alleviate
the faults of free election by schemes of concentration and distribution are leagues of nations keeping the fallacy of the League,
the dogma of separate sovereignty. Under this dispensation the
separate departments encroach on each other's sovereignty, flout
the league when it pleases them, and sometimes set themselves
up as pretenders to sole power over the mind.
At St. John 's we reassert the right of the common intellect
to sovereignty over its separate parts whether practical or speculative. We deny that there are mathematical minds, linguistic
minds or minds at home only with things. Whatever special
interests a student ultimately pursues he first must grasp the principles that are the basis of the mind 's sovereignty and learn the
common language that they speak.
The Great Books are the dictionary and grammar of this
common language. Dictionary, because they contain the myths
that are as it were the words of the language. Like words these
myths mean concrete things and again like words they have a
general reference. Helen is the daughter of Zeus and stolen bride
of Paris : but she is also the gift of Aphrodite, or the cause of war.
And so of Hamlet, of Apollonius' Cones, of Darwin's changing
species, the elements and atoms. Grammar, because the ordering
relations by which men rationalize experience are contained in
them : tragedy and comedy, Socratic dialectic, Thomistic commentary, analysis and synthesis, experiment and hypothesis , the
periodic table of the chemists. The Great Books teach this grammar by example and by explicit exposition.
The marks of a great book are first , excellen<:e. It is a work
of fine art and its surface, the immediate impression it makes ,
shows the reader that much is contained in it. Second, range, the
fact that the authors of the books do not treat a subject matter
in isolation, but imply other subjects, furnish analogies with many
parts of experience. O edipus' t ragedy may be seen in terms of
character and ethics , or of fate and reason. As a tragedy it is
a pattern for complication, crisis and denouement which may be
seen in Hippocrates' medical works, in Thucydides' History, or
in an Euclidean construction. The range of a dialogue of Plato is
almost unlimited. The third mark of a great book is implicit
in the illustrations I have given for the second. It is contact with
other great books . Aquinas comments on Aristotle. Ptolemy,
Virgil and Aquinas meet in Dante. Shakespeare may be contrasted
with Aeschylus in terms of Aristotle's Poetics. Darwin, Marx
�and Freud, who dominate our present world, are read with better
understanding by those who have read Sophocles, Plato, Cervantes and ~ Calvin ; The fourth mark is infinitud e. The questions
raised by the great books are continually being answered only to
refute their answers, and to lead further towards answers that
may n ever be attained , though manifestly they are there. If n ot
there would be no questions.
Two points are clear: first that we do not make the Great
Books an authoritative source of any dogmatic Truth. They tell
truth but the student must have the wit to find it; the truth they
tell is not truth because of their authority. One learns from them
how to assent to truth, as one learns frotm his mother tongue to
construct a meaningful sentence. Secondly, it is clear that the St.
John 's curriculum is not wasted in sterile verbalism. The langu age
of the Great Books is the language of ideas . Under the sovereignty
of ideas words and opinions do the bidding of the mind, and do
not dare set up p etty tyrannies of their own .
•
At St. John 's we do not " teach" the Grea t Books, we learn
from them. Learning is not committing to memory other people's
opinions. The heart of our teaching is the seminar. Here in biweekly discussion of assigned po rtions of the books, the play of
questio n and answ er enlightens the student by showing the ignorance surrounding his opinions. Reduction to absurdity makes
him know that h e doesn't know , and starts him o n the way to
knowledge. The list of books contains within itself on a grand
scale the same struggle with the ignorance of the race. As the
student reads for seminar during his four years in college, poetry
and history record and generalize experience of human action;
the works of natural scie nce and of mathematics construct the
stage on which the drama of human destiny is played and reveal
its conventions. In metaphysics and theology the principles of
man arid nature are analyzed and th eir analogical bonds m ade
clear. The seminar read ing of the list is strengthened and ind eed
made possibl e by scientific and artistic. practice in daily classes in
language and mathematics and in the laboratory. Here are used the
sy mbols men have devised to organize and communicate what
they have learned and to find ways for further learning. In this
.age of science the four years of laboratory we require gives a
comprehension of the scientific revolution and a speculative and
practical grasp of the instruments, m easurements and hypothesyzing that is the intellectual grounding of the sciences.
As I have implied, we are determined to give science its proper
place in the traditional education of our culture. We do not agree
with those who would use the experimental method in all learning. Those who attempt this find themselves holding unexplained
or unacknowledged dogmas wherever they try to be scientific in
fields whose content is not physical nature. W e do not agree,
either, with those who would humanize science by saying that
t
�scientists should read poetry, study ethics, or become Christians.
Of course they should! But not compartmentally. Science is a
way of knowing, and because of the unity of knowledge has an
identity with other ways of knowing. It differs in a secondary
way from other ways of knowing in its direct dealing with natural
phenomena; uses devices such as the calculus or the balance, appropriate to its objects. Though the mass of accumulated data
frightens all who would find a place for science in the liberal
curriculum, a teaching that deals with the rational basis of its
symbols and instruments, and the rational basis of its recognition of truth , while anchoring itself firml y in the manual arts
of the laboratory , can offer a clue through the maze. The ultimate
solution to the teaching of science is far off. We are seriously
attempting to reach this solution, standing on the principles of
liberal education. We neither surrender to science, nor try to soothe
the beast with Orpheus' lute.
·
Such, in outline, is the St. John 's program. Since culture
and education are creations of the mind , the first business of a
college is intellectual activity . The intellectual activity of the
college rests on good habits and emotional maturity , which are
the responsibility of the family. It is spurred on by love of the
good , which is the responsibility of religion. In college the formative power of the family over physical development must continue ; the college must fulfill its intellectual responsibility to the
signs of faith. A college however, is neither a parent nor a church.
Habits are preparatory to understanding , and understanding is
clarifying for faith , but the college's main business is understanding.
It is always an individual who understands. Therefore the
individual is, for the college as for society , an end in himself.
There would however be no colleges had not the human race of
rational and political animals formed itself into communities
rather than congregating into herds. Education perpetuates the
community , just as birth, which is the original meaning of the
Latin educatio , perpetuates the herd. Culture and education are
a
the same thing and college is but a segment in - continuing
process. Through culture and education the individual finds his
place in the community by finding himself and the common good.
The educated man 's responsibility is to be a workman, a citizen
and a man. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are the terms
in which the Declaration of Independence states this responsibility
as man's God-given right. The St . John's program of study under
the great teachers of Western Culture gives a man the wholeness
of culture by which to realize the inter-relation of the individual's
being with the community'~ as he learns the inter-relation or his
learning with transcendent truth. From them he learns to choose
wisely his vocation in the community and to grasp the principles
of science and art that underlie the special skills of every profession
or trade ; he learns to choose wisely in deliberations about the
�common welfare and in choosing wisely to help preserve our
common liberties : he learns finally to face his destiny as a man,
on which depends his happiness.
The college, then, in contrast to a factory or farm , whose
products are external goods , produces the fabric of which society
itself is made. It is at once a miniature society, a small community
within society and also a member of a community larger than
the state. A free nation is a community of men who live in a
greater community which is temporarally actualized in the whole
of history , idealized by the myth of the Garden of Eden or the
Golden Age, and finally realized in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Its rulers are ideas. Membership in this greater community guarantees a free political society. It enables us to know ourselves, to
learn our difference from mere members of a herd . It enables us
to question and justify the principles enunciated in the Declaration
of Independence and frees us from having to accept them merely
as hypotheses. The totalitarian state enslaves its subjects by the
very fact of recognizing no greater community.
A college is the guardian of freedom for its nation if it
naturalizes its citizens in this greater community through reading
beyond words to ideas. The republic of letters is democratic . Ideas
keep no Blue Book of acceptable friends , exercise no tyranny,
join no cartels. The Great Books keep open house. A democratic
society is incomplete if it denies liberal education to anyone prepared to receive it. It will be ineffectual if the majority of its
citizens have not entered the republic of letters. Education plays
democracy false if in the name of democracy it offers the majority
a partial education and lets our schools turn out graduates who
lack acquaintance with excellence. It strangles democracy if in
the name of democracy it denies that there is any standard of
truth except opinion.
The crisis of the modern world has long been evident in
the crisis and confusion of its education. It has become appallingly
evid ent to every citizen that we are threatened with the breakdown
of civilization. Since civilization and civil institutions exist in
the minds of men, we are failing as citizens and as m en. We
cannot look to somebody else to save us or hope that emotion
will carry us through . Nothing but hard thinking about fundamental matters, eternal verities if you will, can avail. The Great
Books are the guides to such thinking, not, let me repeat , because
the answers are in the back of the book, but because they illuminate
the questions and help us find our own answers. We are being
challenged from the outside because we are weak within ourselves.
When we discover the principles on which our civilization is
built and recover our common language, we will withstand all
assaults of our enemies. It is the privilege and determined duty
of St. John's to join with all our sister institutions in this
discovery.
�EDUC~TION
IN CRISIS
THE REVEREND HENRY PITNEY VAN DUSEN
My first word must be one of brief but cordial congratulation to St. John's College on its new president, and of felicitation
and good wishes to President Kieffer as he takes up his new
office. And in this, I am sure I speak for all, and especially for
the academic representatives, who are gathered here this morning.
To suggest that American education stands today in crisis
is a statement which evokes neither surprise nor interest. It
strikes our ears less as the proclamation of news than as the
reiteration of an old and hackneyed refrain. The very word
" crisis" is a verbal coin whose faces have been worn flat by
excessive handling. And nowhere more than in discussions of
education. A penchant for self-scrutiny is a familiar feature of
the academic mind, a sign of health as well as of disease.
But there is reason to believe that today's self-criticism is
more than the latest expression of a perennial mood. It is usually
assumed that the current crisis in education is one expression
of the world 's crisis. It might be argued that the causal relation is the reverse . Rather , we are witnessing th e sudden precipitation-in both society and the schools-of a solution which
has been slowly forming over many decades.
II
Let me refresh your memories of the historical background.
As is well known, higher education in the United States
was initially almost exclusively under religious auspices. Colleges were mainly of two types . Earliest were those along the
Atlantic seaboard which have since developed into the privately
endowed institutions, most of them founded as training-schools
for leadership in church and state-like Harvard College, "lest
New England be cursed with an illiterate ministry !" Among
these, St. John's holds an ancient and honored place .
Somewhat later in appearance were the so-called "Church
Colleges,'' scattered in every state of the Union, founded by
particular religious Communions, in order that their youth
might have the privileges of the higher learning, to be furnished
them in an avowedly and vigorously Christian setting.
Only at a much later period did secular higher education
attain significant proportions. Until less than a half century
ago, the relation of relig'i on to ·collegiate training in America
was two-fold. The Ch~rch was prevailingly the parent and
sponsor of educatio n. And religion was the keystone of the educational arch-the controlling factor in both theory and practice.
�This was precisely as most Americans wished. The role of
religion in the instruction of their children exactly mirrored the
importance they professed to give it in their own l_ives.
Courses were few and fundamental. Students' programs
of study were, for the most part, uniform and required. The
aim of education was conceived as the preparation of the total
person for all of life ; therefore, training of intellect and character claimed equal priority.
III
A new epoch dates roughly from the turn of the last
century. Its twin features were multiplication and secuiarization .
As recently as 19 0 7, college students in this country
totalled only 300,000. Thirty years later, their number had
multiplied four-fold; today almost ten-fold. Such rapid increase in clientele could be cared for only by a mushroom
growth and multiplication of institutions, of diverse sizes and
types , under a variety of sponsorships, in every corner of the
land .
However, multiplication was not only in students and
institutions, but also in subject matters. These were the decades
of the most rapid extension and diversification of knowledge
in human history. A ccommoda tion in the structure of education was inevitable. The larger universities multiplied schools
and divisions ; the smaller colleges multiplied departments ; all
multiplied subjects and courses within almost every department .
This development bas flourished all along the line, but with
most jubilant unrestraint in the so-called " practical" and vocational fields , rather than in the traditional and humanistic disciplines. Not only have the dimensions of the typical curriculum
swollen almost beyond recognition ; the traditional balance has
altered even more drastically.
Diversification in knowledge and subjects has had its
parallel within faculties in the familiar advance of specilization
in scholarship and a corresponding narrowing of the area of
competence of each instructor, a development which led Professor Whitehead to the considered declaration: "The increasing
departmentalization of universities during the past hundred
years , however necessary for administrative purposes, tends to
trivialize the mentality of the teaching profession. "
It has found expression among students in the invitation to
"free election," what has been not inaptly described as " the
bargain-counter theory of education." Indeed , the present-day
university curriculum reminds one of nothing so -much as a
cafeteria , where unnumbered tasty intellectual delicacies are
�strung along a moving belt for individual choice without benefit
of dietary advice or caloric balance. And the result in the mind
of the student? All too often, obesity or mental indigestion ; or,
it may be, malnutrition and even pernicious intellectual anemia!
Finally, multiplication has been parelleled, as both effect
and cause, by progressive sewlarization. No longer is religion
a dominant factor in education , either its theory or its practice.
No longer is religion the keystone in the arch of truth , but
rath er one brick among many , and a brick for which no very
logical or satisfactory place within the main structure has been
discovered. Thus, American education has sloughed off its
traditional principle of organization , of coherence and cohesion.
IV
In the past few years, something which may not unfairly
be characterized as a revolution in the underlying philosophy
of higher education in America has quietly been taking place.
It was foreshadowed short! y before the recent War in
a number of institutions, most notably in this College which
today we delight to honor, less boldly and consistently at
Chicago, Harvard, Princeton and elsewhere. Those first revolts
against the long-dominant drift , then often derid ed and dismissed as quixotic or reactionary , are now seen to have· been
early anticipations of a tidal movement which , under the solemnizing impetus of wartime self-examination, has brought most
of higher education in America under its power.
A recent survey revealed that , of some thirty leading
colleges and universities of every type and in every part of
the country which were projecting radical curricular revision,
over three-fourths were instituting changes at these points:
Increased emphasis on general education with decreased opportunity for specialization;
Increased requirement of specific courses or subjects with
decreased privilege of free election;
Increased insistence upon distribution of the student's program of study among all the major areas of human knowledge.
Thus is revealed a trend which is nation-wide, which
embraces institutions of every size and type, which is nearly
universal. This deliberately determined trend is a direct reversal of the drift which had ruled higher education in America
for half a century. We have called it a "revolution." It might
equally appropriately be defined as a "conversion"-an aboutface in the orientation of educational philosophy.
�v
How are we to explain this extraordinary revolution?
What are its motives and its principles, whether avowed or
covert?
The most generally acknowledged motive is expediential.
The Harvard Report on General Education in a Free Society
voices the widespread concern over the prevailing chaos in
American culture. It points to the "supreme need of American
education for a unifying purpose and idea." It proposes to overtake the present lack by introducing each undergraduate to
"a common body of information and ideas which would be
in some measure the. possession of all students." (We seem to
detect here the direct influence of St. John's, which the Harvard
Committee freely confesses.)
But one must point out that this motivation, however
legitimate, is merely pragmatic. To turn forth a generation
of national leaders possessed of a " common universe of discourse" through acquaintance with the same subject-matter,
and thus to prepare a seedplot for the reintegration of American
culture, is a counsel of expediency, and possibly of despair.
The allegiance of learning, when true to itself, is not given to
national need, however urgent, but to TRUTH as its regnant
liege-lord.
Beneath almost all the current proposals for reform , with
all their variety in detail, lie two assumptions , covert when
not avowed, regarding the two basic factors in the high art
of schooling-the nature of truth and the nature of man. It
is these two usually unconfessed assumptions which require
to be brought forth and placed under the white light of critical
examinati(Jn and appraisal. It is to them that I invite your
special ·attention.
VI
The first assumption is the organic unity of truth . This
is openly. avowed by Yale which affirms that " knowledge for all
its convenient compartmentalization is essentially one piece, as
is the life which supports knowledge ;" and by Princeton which
grounds i" n ew course of study firmly on the " twofold belief
ts
in the unity of knowfedge and the diversity of human beings."·
Th e organic unity of truth--each several part being what
it is by virtue of its place within the Whole. This carries the
corollary of the co herence of knowledge, which is man 's apprehension of truth. To b e sure, no human mind, or all together,
ever succeeds in encompassing .the Whole of Truth . But, by
the same token, no human mind rightly grasps any fragment
of truth without at least some dim awareness of the Whole
�which gives each fragment its existence and its meaning. Moreover, if truth be an organism, then every reflection of truth in
man's knowledge-every subject of the curriculum and all
its subdivisions-ought to be so presented as to suggest that
ultimate unity. Knowledge which i§ portrayed without conscious recognition of its interrelatedness to all other knowledge
is inadequately, falsely presented. In the most literal sense, it
is not TRUTH which is being set forth. And that is unsound
learning. A first task of education is to bring home to the student, through its underlying philosophy and through every
aspect of its teaching, a steadily deepening and controlling
awareness of the organic unity of all truth.
Parenthetically, I may be permitted to point out that this
is an assumption with immense significance for religion. It
forces the question: If truth is an organic whole, how does
it come to be so? Whence springs the interrelatedness and coherence of knowledge? What do these imply regarding the nature
of reality? We are driven hard up against the ultimate issue,
for learning and for life-the question of God. The fact that
few educators thus far have had the perspicuity, or more probably the courage, thus to define and face the issue four-square
does not alter its essential character.
VII
The other assumption concerns the other basic factor in
the educational process-the student. Stated quite simply, it
is that the youth of seventeen to twenty years of age is not
competent to decide the essentials of his own education. The
college must accept responsibility. to determine, in considerable
measure, his choices. And, in an age lacking coherence and in
a culture crying for cohesion but under the domination of
specialized interests and fragmentary loyalties, it must introduce
him to the great disciplines of learning which together constitute the foundations of an educated mind.
Through all the current analyses of civilization's sickness , which shadows most men's minds with apprehension
and some with desperation, there runs a single thread, like a
persistent and wearisome motif: The knowledge and skills
of modern civilization have outrun the moral and spiritual
resources for their direction and control. The imperative need
today, overshadowing all the other unnumbered and urgent
needs , is-firmer character, higher integrity, larger spiritual
vision, unimpeachable and unshakable fidelity, fuller devotion,
and what one of our foremost American statesmen keeps pleading for-a righteous and dynamic faith.
Here , again, the motivation is largely expediential-the
desire to produce more useful public citizens. But the assump-
�tion whic;h underlies the motive is here, likewise, more thar:..
pragmatic. It concerns the nature of man and his needs.
In this sphere also, we are being led ba.ck behind a conception which has largely dominated- education in the recent
epoch, that man is primarily an intellect to be instructed and
trained , · to the conception which guided our forebears who
first planted schools on this continent, including the founders
of this College, and which led them so prevailingly to place
higher education firmly under religious auspices-that human
nature is bipolar-mind and soul , and that the concern of
learning is with the whole man as with the Whole Truth, to
lead forth his mind into an apprehension of that Truth and
his soul into a disciplined and obedient loyalty to its imperious
commands. The task of education is both to fill the mind
and to form . the soul.
VIII
The desired ends can be achieved, but only on true pre.suppositions and by necessary means . What is required is noth ing less than an about-face, "conversion," in both the assumptions and goals of our living ; and also of the training of our
youth. Not the curriculum only, but every aspect of philosophy
and structure and spirit in education, cries for radical remaking .
The great new secular institutions, themselves so largely uncritical products of that which must be recast, appear almost
beyond the possibility of reclamation. But the more ancient
and smaller colleges, planted initially on sound foundations,
still bearing in their being something of their original heritage
-here there is hope! Perhaps this is the challenge to St. John's
-on the threshold of a new advance.
