Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I enjoy your publication a great deal. Congratulations on your excellent and generous efforts!

Is it my imagination or is virtually everyone on B.C.’s campus an opponent of Humanae Vitae or just happy never to bring up its teachings?

You would be doing an immense service to everyone in the BC community if you were to push The Church in the 21st Century to sponsor a few day symposium on Humanae Vitae as has been done at Princeton and other places. Europe, with a fertility rate of 1.3, is committing Continental suicide. Maybe you can contribute to reversing this painful decline of the West. Your fellow students are at grave risk of marital breakup if they enter marriage as opponents of Humanae Vitae.

Sincerely,
John E Joyce, A&S ‘59

To the Editor:

I am a parent who has taken an interest in the Sustainability movement which is fanning out across the country and being embraced by college administrators in the past few years. I have come to believe that it is a serious threat to a classical liberal education and an abusive deception. While we’re all familiar with school administrators, presidents, deans…in commencement speeches stating that the students will be the leaders of tomorrow and that they will go out and create the world they want to live in, these same officials are laying the groundwork through “Sustainability” to undermine the possibility of students realizing individual and their own societal goals which conflict with their plan. Do these individuals tell you what their plan is? No, they just toss around warm fuzzy messages about caring about planet earth. I have found that the National Association of Scholars (NAS) has done the most comprehensive investigations into Sustainability and explain the movement in easily understood language. I do not have an association with NAS or with any educational or political organization. I am just very concerned about education and the agendas of those most influencing schools today.

Sincerely,
Beth Means
Parent of college sophomore
