Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Review, Vol. 11: St. Louis, Mo;, January 7, 1904 While in some, even of the older universities, women are admitted equally with men to the lecture room of the schools of law and medicine - with what propriety may be questioned - the tendency is to the establishment of separate colleges for women; Radcliffe and Wellesley in Massachusetts, Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania, Barnard and Vassar in New York: are examples of the attempt to establish a curriculum of academic studies for women corresponding with those which have been set for the young men of Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and other universities. These are but a few instances of the spread of the women´s college movement. The Catholic Church has never countenanced co-education, as that term is commonly understood; for, apart from the drawbacks inherent in the system from a merely educational point of view, the Church values the graces of Christian womanhood too highly to permit that her children should be exposed to the danger resulting from the association of young men and women in one class-room. The Church has, therefore, prudently established separate colleges for the training of young men, while convent schools and academies for girls under the care of the teaching orders of religious women afford opportunity for intellectual training adequate for the education of the average Catholic young woman, at the same time that they safeguard the faith and morals of their pupils. And if some of these, thirsting for a more particular knowledge of the subjects embraced within the so-called "higher education," propose to occupy themselves with the study of psychology, biology, history, philosophically considered, or any other of the sciences which may be ranked as part of a philosophical system, it is surely of the highest importance that they should drink from the fountain-bead of true Christian, that is, Catholic philosophy. It goes without saying that this is not to be found in any non-Catholic institution of learning. Doubtless many such institutions with their enormous endowments excel in the completeness of their equipment for the study of the natural sciences. This enables them to attract numerous students, whose aim is to acquire that sort of learning which simply makes for material progress. And, while the natural sciences are the least important part of Christian philosophy, it happens, unfortunately, they are too often presented to the youthful mind and accepted as the sum of all that is valuable in human learning.
