“Education should not be based on the substitution of one idea by another, but on the deepening and widening of a single body of knowledge and understanding.  Education does not mean the substitution of Freud for James.  Rather, knowledge is like life, which grows from unity to multiplicity, just as the oak unfolds the mystery of the acorn.  College courses should be so constructed as to give those basic principles and disciplines which will unfold and deepen all through life.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is Worth Living)
