In the fourth book of this award-winning series, author Richard Konicek- Moran explores 15 new mysteries that children and adults encounter in their daily lives. Relating the mysteries to experiences familiar to elementary and middle school students—“Party Meltdown” examines ice cubes melting at different rates; “Baking Bread” explores the importance of yeast; “Stuck!” uses a playground sliding board to explore properties of friction—the stories show how science is part of everyday life and initiate inquiry-based learning by leaving each mystery without an ending. Students identify the problem

to be solved, formulate questions, form hypotheses, test their Cover Publishers Illustrated Nonprofit ize ideas, and

come up with possible explanations. The mysteries cover scienceS concepts such as periodic motion, thermodynamics, temperature, friction, and astronomy. Students may read and discuss the stories in small groups or take turns reading the stories aloud for whole-class discussions. Each story also includes strategies for teaching the lessons to younger students, lists of related ideas from the National Science Education Standards, and related books and journals that can be used to continue the discussion. The author also includes a chapter on using the stories to emphasize the importance of both science and literacy.

“ Instead of a Constellation . . . a Few Unfledged Bodys . . .”

The college has not ten boarders, the ablest & best professors they have had among them have abandoned them year after year and they have not at this time a single member distinguished for literary or scientific attainments—there must be fault somewhere.

RICHARD McSHERRY to WILLIAM McSHERRY to George Town from Martinsburg, November 27, 1828

Natives versus Continentals

If the decades of an institution’s history were reckoned like the seasons of an athletic team, the 1820s would be counted a lost one for Georgetown. In 1817, everything—rising enrollment, growing reputation, brilliant faculty, a federal charter, financial stability—seemed to point clearly to a coming of age for the college. Yet, before the end of the next decade the institution was barely surviving. “The college has not ten boarders,” an alumnus wrote in a pessimistic summary in 1828, “the ablest & best professors they have had among them have abandoned them year after year and they have not at this time a single member distinguished for literary or scientific attainments— there must be fault somewhere.”1 Precisely where the fault lay was a matter of sharply divided opinion. The economic depression that followed the War of 1812 was one obvious factor.

Fagan’s report brought no pressure from to change the provincial attitude toward Georgetown and to begin treating it as the special Jesuit insti- tution in which public opinion held it. Gradually there was a downscaling of the graduate program at Georgetown. The number of students doing graduate work unsurprisingly plummeted with Richards’s departure, from 41 in 1897 to 14 in 1901. In 1905, David Buel dropped all graduate scholarships. By 1906 seven students registered for courses. The following year the president’s advi- sors recommended that the program be limited to a few courses supplement- ing “Senior work in the College.”57 That same year a new superior general, Franz Wernz, advised that they simply discontinue graduate studies.58 Wernz had a vision of establishing one great Jesuit university in the United States, to rank with Jesuit institutions in Rome and Louvain. Unfortunately for George- town, Wernz thought that this major university should be, not in its political but its intellectual center, which meant New York—thus not Georgetown but Fordham. Wernz wanted Fordham to become “a great center of studies and publications,” housing the Society’s periodicals in the United States as well as a full range of graduate faculties, including the theologate.59 Fordham, which Francis Tondorf, SJ, at the had been struggling to survive as a college since the late nineteenth century, Observatory.

CHAPTER 1

Into the Groves of Modernity

Tradition, however glorious, is useless, even detrimental, if it serves as an anchor; it is of inestimable value as a rudder. And the first to rise up and condemn us, should we keep our gaze anywhere but forward, would be those very forebears whom we would dishonor by resting on their laurels. For if we are heirs of the past, we are no less the trustees and brokers of the future. . . . She has to adapt, to examine, to restate, to alter her methods and her machinery, while holding fast to fundamental principle and purpose.

GERARD CAMPBELL, SJ, APRIL 9, 1967

“A New Breed of Jesuit Priest”

In many ways the Bunn presidency laid the groundwork for the extraordi- nary rise of the university during the next generation. But in some ways, by its 175th anniversary in 1964, the university had outgrown itself while still exhibiting the strong strains of paternalism and familialism that, as one criti- cal observer—Andrew Greeley—thought, were not disappearing nearly fast enough as Jesuit schools became more professional and collegial. Indeed, Georgetown was not above Greeley’s charges of lay faculty that were valued as auxiliaries rather than colleagues, of a theology department that was cause for embarrassment, and of students who were heavily censured and con- trolled in their social and religious lives.1
