Free at Last: From Dominican ‘Catholic’ College to a True Catholic College

. . .I’ve been in “the academy” since I arrived as a freshman at Princeton in 1977.  It’s more than forty years now, & in that time I’ve come to see how big a swindle most of the college system in the United States has become, how far removed from reality, the common good, the intellectual life, & the development of moral citizens out of the raw young stuff of passions & folly. . .
