Guin, 1940 John Franklin Hazelton,1944 Duff McGovern, 1950 Robert F. Kastelberg,1958. James C. Kuykendoll,1971 (DR. PRESTON, From Page 5) Christian mind may achieve, as it were, a public, persistent, and universal presence in the whole enterprise of advancing higher culture, and that the students of these institutions may become men truly out- ' standing in learning, ready to shoulder society’s heavier burdens and to witness the faith to the world. What I have said so far applies to every Christian College. But I indicated previously that over and above certain common characteristics there were specific characteristics that were proper only to a Catholic college. Within the historical development of Christianity there is a clearly discernible tradition which is Roman Catholic. A college which is aligned with the Catholic Church must be committed to the continuation of that tradition. Basic to the tradition, in my opinion, is a definite intellectualism, by which I mean that the Catholic tradition has always emphasized the importance of knowledge as a basis for faith. It is the position of St. Anselm of “faith seeking understanding” that harmonizes with the Catholic tradition rather than the “blind leap” of Kierkegaard. Thus the Catholic college must be committed to the truths of faith as taught by the Church and it must support the view that these truths and those of science are compatible because all truth is one. The Church’s historical support of education and scholarship springs from this tradition of intellectualism. We find it reem phasized again in the Declaration on Christian Education: Since the sciences progress chiefly through special investigations of advanced scientific significance. Catholic colleges and universities and their faculties should give the maximum support to institutes which primarily serve the progress of scientific research. This sacred Synod strongly recommends that Catholic colleges and universities and their faculties...be accorded the kind of support which will distinguish them for their academic pursuits rather than for the size of their enrollment. It urges that their doors bo open readily to students of special promise... Even though the Catholic college does have a special relationship to the Church, it is not a teaching arm of the Church, nor does it come within the juridical ambit of the church; i.e., it is not subject to the Church’s discipline. In other words, it is not a seminary with all the special responsibilities of preparing men to serve as ministers of the Church. A Catholic college is first of all a college with its own responsibilities to prepare men and women to live in the world. As a college which is Catholic it has the corn- mitment to provide for its students a knowledge of the Catholic tradition of Christianity with its special values. To provide, however, is not to require. The Catholic college should make available knowledge of the Catholic tradition and it should give ' institutional allegiance to the Catholic faith. But to say this is not to say that courses in Catholic doctrine should be mandatory. However, a concern "for the truth, both of faith and of science, must lead us to state unequivocally that a Catholic college cannot tolerate an atniosphere on its campus which is inimical to the Catholic faith or hostile to religious views. We have a respon sibility to develop students who are critical, not to students who are skeptical. There are truths of the natural order and there are truths of the supernatural order and our obligation is to open the students’ minds to the acceptance of each according to the evidence and grounds for each. Let me conclude these remarks, for my purpose is not to be definitive but to start discussion and argument, by. returning to the distinction between Christian and Catholic. I think Fr. John was right when he wrote that “...I find it logical, consistent, imperative that (our) relation to Christianity is in the Roman tradition.” Those who knew Fr. John will understand that he was not advocating a return to a narrow, sectarian view. Rather he was advocating a move forward to meet the times in which we live, to bring to bear on this confused age and to pass on to our students a heritage to which they are entitled and which alone the Catholic college can supply. To do less is to cheat our students of their inheritance and to fail in fulfilling the obligations to which the Catholic College must be committed.
