Description

Responds to the critics who see the teaching of religion and values as a hindrance to institutions of higher learning: "No university is truly a university unless it is catholic, or universal" in the sense that it "moves every scholar to look beyond his immediate field of vision to the total landscape of God and man and the universe." Why values in education? "Because wisdom is more than knowledge, man is more than his mind, and without values, man may be intelligent but less than fully human."
