The following rema rks sake. on the topic a re taken from Dr. Other explanations have been offered; for example, the fact Baker's address at the commence­ that Catholic schools, in comparison with those supported by ment ceremonies In Janua ry. the State, have not had the financial resources to provide the costly libraries, laboratories and other equipment so necessary for modern scientific research. I am sure that there have been many causes contributing to this shortage of Catholic scholars, that no one of them is the complete and final explanation. For what it is worth, I would MOST OF YOU, I am sure, have read, or at least heard about, like to offer my own theory on this subject. It is an explanation the charges recently made to the effect that there is a relative based on what could be called the defects of the virtues of some scarcity of American Catholic intellectuals, that the number of Catholics. My opinions are not wholly original, nor are they the American Catholics who have achieved eminence in the domain result of extensive surveys. They are, however, conclusions that of real scholarship is much lower proportionately than that of I have reached after over twenty years of teaching college stu­ their fellow-American non-Catholics. Although there have been dents and of endless discussions with many college teachers. some who have denied the truth of these charges, and others I think that a cause among the many others for this relative who have questioned the accuracy of specific figtues, I believe scarcity of American Catholic scholars is a misconception of the that the proposition is basically true, namely, that the number of role of faith and its relation to reason. Many young potential eminent American Catholic scientists and scholars is not what Catholic intellectuals never become actual because from their it should be in proportion to our Catholic population. earliest years they have mistakenly looked upon their faith as a Now several reasons have been advanced to account for this substitute for reason, i.e, they have simply accepted the articles phenomenon. For instance, Father John Tracy Ellis of the Cath­ of faith as the complete answers to the ultimate questions about olic University of America has tried to explain it by historical the nature of man, the nature of the universe in which he lives, reasons. He points out that most of our Catholic colleges and the nature of his ultimate goal and of the means of getting there, universities were established at about the same time that most of and have not bothered to think much about these things. Their our Catholic population was composed of an immigrant working native curiosity and wonder becomes dulled by this complacency, class; that consequently, the educational goal of the typical Cath­ and I am afraid that the consequent disinclination to exercise any olic student coming from such a class was not pure knowledge intellectual effort for a greater understanding and a more mature for its own sake, but rather vocational and professional training as a means of improving his economic and social status.

He is a University of Notre Dame g raduate. cestor, is imbued with the same motive in pursuing his studies. He wants an education that will enable him to make or to do something of a practical nature, not as a preparation for the life of a scholar. Parenthetically, it is significant to note that the number of eminent Catholic doctors, lawyers, engineers and members of other practical professions is representive of the Catholic population. Another explanation has been offered by Father Gustave Weigel of Woodstock, Md. Father Weigel blames the shortage on what he calls an over-emphasis of the "apologetic" spirit. In other words, many Catholics who do engage in scholarly re­ searches do so not in the spirit of pure scholarship, but primarily as a means of acquiring the knowledge useful for defending traditional doctrine against those who would attack it. They regard knowledge as merely a weapon to be used to combat re­ ligious and moral errors. This apologetic spirit does inspire mean this. Many Catholics, rightly convinced as they are of the fact that they have a supernatural destiny, an ultimate goal that transcends this world of time and space, and that this world is a place of a temporary preparing for the next, have the tendency to look upon this span of earthly existence only as a sort of nec­ essary i~terim which must be endured for a while. They look upon thts world and the things of this world, if not as evil, at least as unimportant -and unworthy of any serious attention for their own sake. With their gaze fixed on their heavenly goal, they have little or no interest in earthly things or affairs. Con­ sequently, such Catholics have not even the desire, much less that enthusiasm, so necessary for success in so-called secular studies. Of ~h.a t ultimate importance, they say, is the knowledge of the phystmt, the chemist, the biologist, or the mathematician? For that matter, they think, what do political and economic theories have to do with eternal salvation? grasp of these great truths reaches out to other realms of knowl­ Do not succumb to these deceptions, or if you have, try to edge as well. eradicate them.

You should know what the immortality of the human soul, the freedom of the will, etc., it is that you believe. In the area of those articles of faith which only to have as a general reaction, "So what, we knew it all the are also accessible to natural reason (existence of God, immor­ time."

8 The UD ALUMNUS The University of Dayton

Located on a 77-acre campus in southern Dayton, 0., one of the fastest-growing areas in the .coun­ try, the University of Dayton is a fully-accredited co-educational, private institution embracing the college of arts and sciences, the college of engineering and the technical institute.

Founded in 1850 and conducted by the priests and brothers of the Society of Mary (Marianists) • Coeducational • Full-time enrollment (September, 1957): Men: 2,768 Women: 620 • One of the only seven accredited Catholic engineering schools in the United States • Only Catholic university in the United States with technical institute • ROTC (Branch General) allows student to select preferred branch of U.S. Army • New science building, for physics, mathematics, biology, psychology, nursing, home economics now under way • Excellent counseling and guidance services • Moderate total costs: tuition, room, board laundry, fees, etc., approximate $1,250 for non-engineer; $1 ,350 for engineer • Highly qualified faculty (364) of priests, brothers, laymen • New building recently opened includes latest facilities for chemistry, chemical engineering, geology • Excellent opportunities in City of Dayton for part-time employment • New student union building being planned The University of Dayton proposes as its general objective the complete and har­ monious development of all the capacities of man's nature-religious, moral, in­ tellectual, aesthetic, social, and physical. Participation in the widely-varied college activities induces the student to exercise all these powers of soul and body. Moral instruction and adequate campus discipline emphasize the importance of personality development and character formation, while a comprehensive academic program furnishes ample fields of study. Thus college becomes not only a preparation for life, but an integral part of life itself. The particular objectives are threefold: (1) to give the student a liberal education in philosophy, in the natural and social sciences, language, and literature; (2) to prepare for prospective careers in business, art, music, for the professions of teach­ ing and engineering and for professional schools of law, medicine, and dentistry; (3) to develop, in all divisions, a strong sense of social responsibility, to foster lead­ ership both by the theory and the practice of sound principles of religion, philos­ ophy, sociology, economics, and political science.
