Abstract
Here is what we got. The people in charge -- faculty, college administrators, trustees, other intellectual elites, and (judging by what they do) the bishops -- do not believe what they need to believe to restore Catholic education to the colleges: that a Catholic education is better because the faith is true. This I call the Indispensable Conviction. It is the pearl of great price. Our leaders no longer possess it. And, without a Catholic education, our magnificent campuses are like whited sepulchers.
Is the status quo really so dire? What does the next generation portend? Can demand for Catholic education be stimulated? If so, what delivery systems are best suited to meet it? Is the hugely capitalized, stand-alone Catholic campus fading away? What might take its place? What can the Fellowship do?
To these questions I turn.
