First sentence: If a university is to be truly universal, as its name implies, religion should have a place in its educational thrust.
Description: "A Catholic University: Vision and Opportunities describes how a Catholic vision enabled a small college to increase its size fivefold and to become a university. Entrepreneurial leadership enabled the College of St. Thomas (now University of St. Thomas) in St. Paul, Minnesota, to relate its religious convictions to opportunities to educate new publics and thus have an enhanced role in the community and the Church. Monsignor Murphy identifies what makes a university "Catholic" and how that identity is an integral driving force of a university."--Jacket.
