Legacy PRESIDENT’S COLUMN L Ight up the Tower, Light up the World TOWER UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS MAGAZINE FALL 2010 our Fulbrightlegacy PRESIDENT’S COLUMN L ight up the tower, light up the world. f you happen to be driving down the highway in Dallas at night you might notice the Braniff Memorial Tower bathed in light on the horizon. Over the summer, new lights have been installed and for the first time since Reagan was president, our Tower shines out over the Dallas horizon. Our newly lit Tower is both a sign to the Dallas metroplex that we are here and a promise to all our alumni, parents, students, and friends that we are not going to beI content to blend into the skyline. The University of Dallas is different, and we are proud to be different. Our focus on Western civilization is unique and a source of great pride for all those who love the University. Western civilization is the origin of our culture and we believe it to be worthy of a singularly focused curriculum. It is a distinction which we proudly acknowledge poses certain limitations. In an age where more universities are trying to be everything to everyone, we have intentionally and unabashedly limited our subjects to those in which we have acknowledged expertise. We are deeply committed to our Catholic identity. Our Catholic identity is manifest- ed in our mission, vision, and values and is part of the everyday life of the campus. We publicly and consistently adhere to the Church’s encyclical on higher education, Ex corde ecclesiae. Our Core curriculum is becoming more and more unique. Not so many years ago a series of required classes in different disciplines was the standard for virtually every liberal arts university’s curriculum. Now, according to a recent study by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, the University of Dallas is one of only 16 schools in the nation with required classes in six subjects—literature, U.S. history, mathematics, science, economics, and a foreign language. Over and above what ACTA has included in their core curriculum, the University of Dallas also requires classes in five other fields—art, politics, philosophy, European history, and theology. Every quality university has a study abroad program. Again, the University of Dallas Rome Program is distinctively different. UD students go over to Rome as a cohort and take intellectually challenging Core classes on the Western tradition just kilo- meters away from Rome—the heart of the Roman Catholic Church and one of the centers of the classical world. This is what we mean when we say that we are a distinctive university. We are not eager to blend in—our singular distinction is our greatest asset. I believe with all my heart and soul that UD is indispensible to the world. If UD were not in existence, it would be necessary to invent a school like UD. The education that we provide is very important—it is essential. UD is a treasure. It deserves to be nurtured. Every alumni and current and former parent knows the special contribution the University of Dallas brings and, I hope, wants to ensure its continued viability. Our unique con- tribution should be celebrated and should shine as brightly as the Tower in the night. Thomas W.

UPDATES 5 UD One of the Best Schools in the Nation he University of Dallas was honored again this year by a number of organizations that closely study colleges and universities across the United States for their annual rankings. UD found itself consistently ranked in the top tiers among its peers and other schools across Texas. Princeton Review The Princeton Review named UD one of the country’s best institutions for undergraduate T education in the 2011 edition of its popular guidebook The Best 373 Colleges. UD was also among 120 colleges and universities included in the “Best of the West” list this year, one of 38 schools listed as a Great School for Biology Majors, and voted the #5 school in the Most Religious Students category. Forbes Forbes magazine named UD one of America’s Best Colleges in the annual rankings. UD was hon- ored with the #153 spot on the list of 610 schools. Additionally, UD was one of the top five schools in Texas among the 27 included in the rankings. U.S. News and World Report U.S. News named UD one of America’s Best Colleges in the 2011 edition of Best Colleges. The University ranked 15th out of 115 schools in the Western region and 2nd out of 32 schools in Texas included in the same region. UD was also recognized as one of 15 schools in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category for the West region and one of 16 schools in the region’s “A+ Schools for B Students” category. PARADE The University of Dallas was named to the PARADE College A-List in their survey comprised of feedback by high school counselors across the United States. The magazine recognized UD’s liberal arts program, and named the studio arts program as one of the top programs in the nation. American Council of Trustees and Alumni UD received an “A” in the second annual “What Will They Learn” college ratings announced by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, which bases its ratings on how many of seven specified core course requirements an institution requires in its curriculum. UD was one of only 16 schools in the nation that included six of those categories in their general requirements, and one of only three schools in Texas. Read more about these rankings at udallas.edu/aboutus/about/rankings. 6 UPDATES UD Recognized as Top School for Biology Majors his year the Princeton Review named the University of Dallas as one of 38 Great Schools for Biology Majors. And it’s not hard to see why. “It is an honor for the UD biology department to be listed among the top 38 programs,” said Dr. Marcy Brown-Marsden ’91, associate professor and chair of the biology department. “The biology program at the University of Dallas is so distinctive because we offer a strong Catholic liberal arts education with a strong science education together in the same program.

  • Pope Names Bishop Kevin Vann to Orange, California; Accepts Resignations of Bishops of Orange, Rochester, N.Y.; Names Apostolic Administrator for Rochester
    POPE NAMES BISHOP KEVIN VANN TO ORANGE, CALIFORNIA; ACCEPTS RESIGNATIONS OF BISHOPS OF ORANGE, ROCHESTER, N.Y.; NAMES APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR FOR ROCHESTER WASHINGTON—Pope Benedict XVI has named Bishop Kevin W. Vann of Fort Worth, Texas, 61, to be bishop of Orange, California, and accepted the resignation of Bishop Tod D. Brown, 75, from the pastoral government of the diocese. The pope also accepted the resignation of Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, New York, 75, from the pastoral governance of the Rochester diocese and named Bishop Robert J. Cunningham of Syracuse, New York, 69, as apostolic administrator of the Rochester diocese until the appointment and installation of a new bishop there. The appointments were publicized in Washington September 21, by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, apostolic nuncio to the United States. Kevin Vann was born May 10, 1951, in Springfield, Illinois and was ordained a priest for the diocese of Springfield in 1981. He earned a doctorate in canon law in 1985 from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas (Angelicum) in Rome. In the Springfield Diocese he served as associate pastor, pastor, and on the staff of the diocesan tribunal. In 2005, he was named coadjutor bishop of Fort Worth, Texas, to succeed Bishop Joseph Delaney, who died one day before Bishop-designate Vann was ordained bishop. Bishop Brown, a native of San Francisco, was ordained priest of the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno, California, in 1962. He was named bishop of Boise, Idaho in 1988, and Bishop of Orange in 1998. Bishop Clark, a native of Troy, New York, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Albany, New York, in 1962.

The most significant of its restrictions is that “Places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. This limitation will be in effect for the first 21-days of a county public health department’s approval of religious services … at places of worship within their jurisdictions.”.” In subsequent weekly meetings with the Pastors and Business Managers of the Parishes of the Diocese, our Bishop, Most Rev. Kevin Vann, has made it abundantly clear that his over-riding interest is in protecting the Common Good, that is, in the health and welfare of our parishioners, especially “the weakest among us,” our Seniors and those with underlying health conditions. Further, Bishop Vann has made it clear that he is not being guided by politics of any kind, but rather and above all by the medical experts at the world-class St.
