  • Academic Faculty Address-2017
    A Ressourcement Vision for Graduate Theological Education Academic Faculty Address-2017 Thomas A. Baima Mundelein Seminary August 11, 2017 I want to welcome everyone to the first of our Academic Faculty meetings for the 2017- 2018 school year. I hope all of you had a refreshing summer. This meeting is the result of comments by some of you that the academic department did not have the same opportunity as the formation department for planning and interaction. It is for this reason that I added this morning to the meetings at the opening of the school year. We do need time to work together as a group on the common project of seminary education. Those of you who are more senior will remember that we used to meet for two full days at the opening of the school year and again at the opening of the beginning of the new year. Without those meetings, we have lost much of the time we used to work together. So, I hope this morning will restore some of that, and at the same time not wear everyone out. Here is my plan for the morning. First, I’m going to do some introductions of our new members. Next, I want to offer some remarks about the vision of higher education. I do this because the academic department is entrusted with the responsibility for the intellectual pillars and shares responsibility for the pastoral pillar 1 with Formation. As such, we are part of the larger higher education enterprise both of this country and of the Catholic Church internationally.

  • Melas, I & R Platoon, Hq
    Recorded Interview Nashville 2009 _____________________________________________________________ Nicholas J. Melas, I & R Platoon, Hq. Co. 411th I was born and raised in Chicago and I am still living there. I am commonly known as Nick. I graduated from high school in June of 1941 and entered the University of Chicago in September. By December the quarter was ending and we were getting ready for the quarterly exams. I probably heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor at home over the radio. A couple of days later, along with two of my school friends, I decided to enlist in the U.S. Army. We felt that we had to do something. At the enlistment office they asked us what we were doing currently. We were told to stay in school and that we would be put in the ERC (Enlisted Reserve Corps). They told us, “When we need you we will call you.” So, we signed up in early December and went back to school. I had gone to the University of Chicago from an inner city high school, and was given a 1/3rd tuition scholarship. I had been on the high school wrestling team and had done pretty well in the Chicago area, so I became a member of the University’s wrestling team.
