We reflected on the past, lived up the present, and anticipated the future. The past was a time of mistakes, fun and, mostof all, learning.

Architecture students are known to go into Crough Center and not come out for a day or two. phm by T Murphe\ As tradition willed it. The Catholic University of America, liberal arts institution extraordinair, provided as always a wide range of academic pursuits for its varied body of students. It was John Henry Newman who defined a University as a place of learning that must impart all branches of knowledge unto its students. ''The very name of University," Newman believed, "is inconsistent with restrictions of any kind." During the 1999-2000 academic year, many CUA English professors included in their first year classes Newman's most famous text The Idea of a University thus proving that faculty and staff believe in the importance of a broad academic experience where students may thrive. Besides this, CUA provided for its students an atmosphere in which all branches of knowledge were duly touched upon. CUA continued to offer courses in the fine arts, architecture, computer technology, history, ancient and modern languages, science, social science and theology, as well as many others. Students were able to fully cultivate their intellects and integrate a broad spectrum of knowledge through an interactive approach to learning. Faculty should be credited with CUA's reputation as an academic institution of exemplary standing. Academics have been, and will continue to attract students to CUA. story by Tiffany Murphey Left: Deke Polifka, a student in the Benjamin T Rome School of Music, spends a great deal of time practicing the piano so he can dazzle audiences in the future with his skills. ,./I,.IC.M T Murphey Far Left: With flute in hand and ready to play, this student studies the upcoming notes.
