St. John's College, by Frank Bruni

I sure hope so, too, @Lindagaf. SJC’s emphasis on intellectualism and education for its own sake is the definition of education in my book. I agree that this type of program appeals only to a certain type of student, but I am so glad SJC is there to provide those students with that gift, and I think our society would be much richer if SJC were not the outlier. I doubt SJC’s example will affect the current trend of college-as-vocation-training but, in my book, there is no higher ROI than the investment in the mind. I think SJC has it exactly right.
