I thought this was interesting. Bill Cork has a link to an article wherein an academic stumbles on to the fact that books by the great Catholic intellectuals are apparently not being read by students at a Catholic university. I wonder if this isn't simply part of the "closing of the American mind" phenomenon that has been noticed in other contexts. Is this is a bad thing? After all what is the relevance of a "dead white male" to the issues facing a modern college student? Every generation has to come up with its own answer.
