PHILOSOPHY In one of his most profound and scintillating insights, John Henry Cardinal Newman enriched the pages of his Idea Of A University with a conclusive analysis and sweeping indictment of the techniques whereby godless professors thought that they might purge the uni- versity curriculum of theology. Their attack, involving a conspiracy of silence, a glorification of the imagination and a deification of material reality, was to be the height of subtlety. After all, they seemed to say in their heart of hearts, there is no God, no truth, no certainty other than that tentative variety which sense experience forces us to accept. With but few terms revised, the hopes and methods of the godless professors of Newman ' s time are the aspirations and procedures of the anti-intellectual professors of today. If this be not so, then how are we to explain the de-emphasis of true philosophy and the decline of sane philosophers on the contemporary educational scene? It is a sad fact that philosophy, the handmaiden of theology, has been so abused and undermined that many college graduates may never come to know that the answer to the question, Why? is infinitely more significant than the answer to the question, How? Boston College, however, has not been ensnared by the anti-intel- lectuals, nor has she ever renounced the heritage of Aristotle and Augustine, Aquinas and Suarez. Indeed, to the joy of faculty, alumni and students, she is erecting a Gothic temple of scholastic philosophy wherein The Truth Will Make You Free. fhilosophta

ARTS AID 8CIBHCES The official seal of Boston College leaves no room for doubt concern- ing the motives and objectives governing her foundation. For, com- plementary to her Homeric ideal of Ever To Excel is her con- secration to Religioni Et Bonis Artibus . . . Dedicated To Reli- gion And The Fine Arts. Since 18()3, the year of her birth, Boston College has kept faith with that trust and yet, in the pioneering spirit of Bapst and Fulton and Gasson, she has ever been ready to serve the vast community which looks upon her with confidence, admiration and respect. Although both arts and sciences have a common bond in their generic contemplation of truth, beauty and goodness, however dif- ferent their species may be, alma mater is one of the few colleges in the world to have seen to it that even her campus and buildings harmonize with the uplifting and liberating precepts of her Christian humanism. Who, indeed, can deny that the towers on the Heights suggest truth, bespeak beauty and inspire goodness? In steadfast execution and glorious manifestation of her role as Boston ' s Catholic University, Boston College has neglected no area of valid scholarship and true erudition. Thus, languages, classical and contemporary, sciences, natural and sublime, arts, liberal and fine, are not strangers to the classrooms on University Heights, but an integral part of the curriculum and a certain sign that the College of Arts and Sciences has kept inviolate her share in the great legacy of Catholic education. Christian civilization and Jesuit pedagogy. liofofria unratraru
