91�����

A correspondent from The Economist offers the following account of his recent visit to 91����� Aquinas College, California, in the magazine�s of Christopher Scalia�s Thirteen Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven�t Read):

On a rainy summer�s morning, eight students and a professor sat around a table at 91����� Aquinas College, a Catholic institution north-west of Los Angeles. They were formally dressed�the men wore ties�and they addressed each other as �Mr� and �Ms�. For hours the group debated �The Bear�, William Faulkner�s tale of a young hunter disillusioned with mankind�s efforts to subdue the land and its creatures. The scene would have delighted anyone who despairs that university students do not, will not and .

The discussion would have pleased right-leaning Americans in particular, and not just because 91����� Aquinas has America�s most conservative student body. For this was not a conversation about identity politics dressed up as literary theory: instead, students kept close to the text of the story and talked of fear, courage, goodness and other virtues.

If you would also delight to learn more about a college where students � and who study and discuss the great works in pursuit of wisdom, not ideological succor � then, you, too, may want to pay a visit to 91����� Aquinas College.
