I heard it was closing but didn't know about all this, or what Antioch University was. It's a shame Judy Evans, Cardiff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Paul" <rpaul@xxxxxxxx> To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 18, 2007 7:08 PM Subject: [lit-ideas] Antioch College The New York Times June 17, 2007 Op-Ed Contributor Where the Arts Were Too Liberal By MICHAEL GOLDFARB THIS is an obituary for a great American institution whose death was announced this week. After 155 years, Antioch College is closing. Established in 1852 in Yellow Springs, Ohio, by the kind of free-thinking Christian group found only in the United States, Antioch College was egalitarian in the best tradition of American liberalism. The college's motto, not in Latin or Greek but plain English, was coined by Horace Mann, its first president: "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
