Credentialed rather than educated...

Glenn Reynolds has found a phrase applicable to our culture. Russell Kirk warned decades ago that our universities were turning into "certification factories." Does anyone study the breadth of Western languages, literature, history, and science today? (Better start with Latin and Greek.)

"Does anyone study the breadth of Western languages, literature, history, and science today?"

The mere fact that this question is being asked regularly, gives hope that the reestablishment of the tradition beginning 30 years ago with TAC, Christendom and St. Thomas More give hope that the movement will continue to spread.
