The Catholic college in America: Balancing intellectual and spiritual values

Article Abstract:

The experience of the Salve Regina University, which tries to balance its religious commitment with the preservation of academic freedom by integrating faith and learning, is examined. The values such as integration of faith and learning, a focus on teaching, a consistent attention to moral questions, and a thrust toward integrative learning and learning in community are found to have given shape and purpose to this contemporary Catholic university.
