In Jonathan Swift's Cullivefs Travels, Gulliver visits the city of Lagado, which is greatly influenced hy an Academy of Projectors. Gulliver is surprised to find the houses and the people in rather ragged conditions. It is explained to him that the uPI'0j6Cll01'S7, spend all their time developing Knew schemes for building, planting, etc., and at the same time disregard past achievements, assured that what is new is best, seeking novelty for the sake of novelty. The one man, Count lVlunodi, who has held out against the new methods and continued to rely on tradition, is the one man whose land and home retain prosperity and beauty. Dominican College is not a 'cpoor ohsolete thing, in- substantial dream of an escapistf' Rather it is a real place, full of people like Count Munodi-people who build on the old, adding what is new to the hest ofthe old, and thus steadily progressing from a solid foundation. Which is more real-the writings of men which have survived the ages, or the latest book analyzing our c'sick society? Which is more real-a picket shouting for free- dom, demanding that all else be destroyed until this free- dom is giveng or a tree, which slowly, hut surely grows, quietly exercising its freedom, and quietly preserving thatfreedom?
