Institute Carries on Studies of Tradition of Christian Culture

Last year the University of Notre Dame established on its campus, an institute for higher studies and research known as the Mediaeval Institute. In spite of its rather awesome name, the Mediaeval Institute has a ver)- simple and straightfonvard purpose. It aims to make a thorough study, ac­ cording to the best modern methods, of the long tradition of Christian culture which is still, consciously or unconsciously, the vital factor in the day-to-day living of thousands, nay, millions of good Catholics.

THE GRE.\T BOOKS MOVEMENT is thriving on the campus. The seed was planted here two years ago by Judge Roger Kiley, '23, who became acquainted with the program through Dr. Robert Hutchins and Dr. Mortimer Adier at the University of Chicago, where the foundation was started. Judge Kiley, Father John Cavanaugh, and Dean Clarence Manion began to meet reg>@ larly here, in October, 1945, to discuss se­ lected works of Plato, .•\ristotle, St. Thomas Aquinas, and other great minds. Several such groups have since sprung up on the campus.
