Dear Parents and Prospective Students:

All men, said Aristotle, by nature desire to know. What we know, those ideas and images to which we give our minds and hearts, is who we are. And because though exists for the sake of action, what we know tells us how to touch the world and what the particular dimensions of the adventure that is our life will be.

Through its teaching of the Great Books of theology, philosophy, literature and the classical languages, through its community life and through its overseas interterms in Oxford, Rome and Greece, the College of Saint Thomas More offers you an opportunity to become a member of the tradition that has formed the intellect of the West.

The learning that comes from the books and conversation of the College, to be cherished in itself, will take each of us along a road that leads beyond ideas and books, into realms that are first political, making us good members of the city, and then personal, giving us knowledge of ourselves, of others who walk beside us and of God who made us.

We invite you to become a member of the College of Saint Thomas More.

With every good wish,

Dr. James A. Patrick
