"This book is a time machine. It is charmingly and fascinatingly out-of-date and therefore relevant and contemporary. It is a eulogy for a beautiful thing (liberal education), which at the time of writing (1961) was already threatened by the many-headed monster of relativism, skepticism, materialism, pragmatism, and naturalism. Today that beautiful thing has been almost completely swallowed and digested in the monster's stomach."
— Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Boston College
"This book is not just a sentimental look back at once was. It is a reminder of what can be, for anyone willing to undertake the right kind of studies."
— Fr. Joseph Koterski, S.J., Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University
"It is well, in these days of multiculturalism and relativism, that a book like this one is republished. It contains many things most students or professors never heard of or dare speak in public."
— Fr. James Schall, S.J., Professor Emeritus, Georgetown University
"There are many perspicacious insights here for modern educators, parents, and students striving to understand and restore excellence in higher education."
