Garvey on "The Idea of a Catholic University"

Here's my friend and former colleague, John Garvey (now President of the Catholic University of America), writing in First Things, on the "Idea of a Catholic University."  I like the conclusion especially:

At Catholic universities we strive to provide students with the full intellectual harmony Cardinal Newman referred to – to teach them that knowing, loving, and serving God are part of the same enterprise. They represent not just one option in a universe of equally good ideas, but our fulfillment. As Saint Augustine ultimately discovered, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
