"Provides a comprehensive history of Jesuit higher education in the United States, weaving together the stories of the fifty-four colleges and universities that the Jesuits have operated (successfully and unsuccessfully) since 1789. It emphasizes the connections among the institutions, exploring how certain Jesuit schools like Georgetown University gave birth to others like Boston College by sharing faculty, financial resources, accreditation, and even presidents throughout their history. The book also explores how the colleges responded to common challenges-including anti-Catholic prejudice in the United States, the push from government authorities to modernize their shared curriculum, and the pull from Roman authorities to remain loyal to Catholic tradition. It covers themes like the rise of the research university in the 1880s, the administrative reforms of the 1960s, and the role of Jesuit colleges in racial justice, women's education, and other civil rights issues"--

« Ce livre devenu un classique », selon Owen Chadwick, comprend deux parties dont seule la seconde est traduite ici, la première ayant déjà fait l’objet d’une traduction en 1968. John Henry Newman, nommé recteur fondateur, en 1851, d’une université catholique à Dublin, réfléchit aux objectifs d’une telle institution. Il met au premier plan la formation de l’esprit tout autant que l’acquisition du savoir afin de parvenir à une véritable culture humaniste. Il traite des rapports entre raison et foi, science et théologie, il insiste sur les liens qui unissent langue et littérature, il aborde les problèmes d’éthique médicale ; il préconise une recherche libre de tout préjugé mais éclairée par une pensée chrétienne qui a assimilé la culture antique. Cependant il n’ignore pas les applications pratiques qu’entraîne une telle création. Un ensemble de facultés, complémentaires les unes des autres, devra se développer à partir du noyau initial qu’est la Faculté des Arts et des Lettres, élément essentiel de tout enseignement universitaire. Celui-ci sera ainsi vivifié par la recherche et maintiendra le rapport d’un savoir particulier à une connaissance plus générale. À notre époque où l’Université s’interroge sur sa raison d’être, l’idéal exigeant de Newman reste tout à fait d’actualité.
