Frohe B.A. History B.A. History Like most American colleges founded in the last century, Canisius is the resul- tant of historical vectors long since played out. For reasons economic and ideological its trustees have - pious pro- testations to the contrary notwithstand- ing - repudiated its Catholic and authori- tarian past and parts of its liberal arts tradition, and have embarked on a cir- cular quest for redefinition, and excercise in futility in which trying to get there is billed as all the fun. Having prudently abandoned their ancient, untenable claims of pursuing excellence or edu- cating the whole man, the administrators have settled for insuring institutional sur- vival, staging reportable events, projecting newsworthy profiles, and beating off power grabs from below. Adequate enough within their special areas of com- petence, the teachers, by occasionally 123 Teresia B. Jovanovic B.A. History-French John F. Krahling B.A. History grasping at governance, playing politics, and slighting research and instruction, have set their auditors a model of the meaningless maneuvers in which they themselves will soon engage the commu- nitv at large. Young, vibrant, somewhat unlettered, mostly uncomplicated, and in- sufferably selfish and amiable, the stu- dents, by ambitioning marks rather than wisdom, have often associated themselves unwittingly with the majority of their progenistors and foreseeable progeny. But, for all its warts, grimy urban Cani- sius, better than its ivy-encrusted, greens- warded, or statebankrolled competitors, has introduced its burly, beer-swilling, free-loving Buffalonian clientele to the realities sordid and otherwise of Ameri- can in these depressed and slovenly seven- ties. - Edward T. Dunn, S.J.
