I am not sure which is the most important lesson to draw from that anguishing fact. But I do believe the wrong lesson is that education can't stop hatred. It can, and it does, and you shouldn't work with students if you're not prepared to try. At Georgetown, I'm quite certain, the candle is burning bright. Our Catholic, Jesuit tradition is based on ethical reflection and moral principle, inspired by the inseparability of the love of God and neighbor.
Community service is a major part of campus life.
The ethos of the place is to be engaged with the world. At Georgetown, this tradition remains strong. It must flourish everywhere. It is a predilection to cooperate. It is the people's will to form a larger whole.
