REWORD “ . . . there is a knowledge which is desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labor ” — Cardinal Newman. John Henry, Cardinal Newman, Victorian scholar and churchman, was called by the Irish hierarchy to assist them in organizing the University of Dublin in 1852. The advice that he gave to them in a series of lectures has been col- lected into his classic, “Idea of a University.” The men of Seton Hall College read these essays during their sophomore year. Upon reflection, they began to under- stand why they were studying subjects other than those preparing them for their careers directly. Utilitarians of the first half of the twentieth century have not seen as Cardinal Newman saw, that the “whole man” must be educated, but a recent trend away from specialization has been noted among some American edu- cators. It is an unmistakable harbinger of an inevitable return to Newman’s ideas, which Seton Hall has never abandoned. The mid-century graduating class is proud that its alma-mater is about to inherit actual title to that which she possesses. So, we have looked to Cardinal Newman and his treatise on the “Idea of a University,” to remind us of our past tradition, our present benefits, and our future progress.
