Founded in 1978 by Catholic educators, Thomas More College is a relatively new institution. As a school of liberal arts, however, it participates in one of the oldest enterprises in Western civilization: the initiation of youth into responsible membership in the human community. That community includes not only the students' contemporaries, but their distant predecessors in history, as well as the generations who will live after them. Many of the relationships students must recognize, then, are invisible ones (to nature, the family, the political order, the dead, and the divine), which tend to be obscured in a secular society. The liberal arts college must take on the crucial task of learning to discern these relationships, especially when they no longer are clearly represented in the laws and rituals of society.

The core curriculum at Thomas More College is a paideia that is transformative of the person. Students study the great texts of the West in their entirety, not simply a collection of excerpts. But the curriculum is more than a reading list of books. Where books are part of a carefully formed curriculum, the student may learn more readily that they represent a reality beyond themselves. The cultural arrangement of the courses is designed to help the student attain that grasp of reality, of truth as it is incarnated in creation, especially in the peculiarly human part of creation which is civilization. In the course of study, a larger symbolic order of existence is revealed, within which thought and imagination find a coherence and shape. The course of study is unique at Thomas More: all students - freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors - read the same texts at the same time in the core Humanities program. Freshmen actually begin to develop rapidly and with an unusual degree of self-confidence because of being thrown into courses with more experienced students. They are quickly initiated into the central experience of the course and, thereby, into the task of the whole educational enterprise. Further, this mingling of age groups reminds the upperclassmen of their connection to the world outside through their necessary, continuing contact with new students fresh from that outside world. They have a hard time becoming a closed community with its own jargon when they have to communicate daily with the initiates. Their learning is refreshed and renewed almost automatically through the conversation connected with this course and, at times, in other Core courses. This fact stands them in good stead after graduation, for throughout their four years they have always had to "translate" their most complex ideas into language that can be understood by new students.

Students learn to view themselves as participants in the life of the particular cultural period they study, seeing their own lives, by analogy, as part of an ongoing human drama. Moreover, they discover that the manners and mores of a people, even the smallest details of life, reveal something about the truth of being. Truth is presented, then, as it has always been disclosed by Revelation itself: concretely, to a particular people, in a particular place, at a particular time. Reflection on the truths contained in culture reveals a body of knowledge that prepares the whole being for consummate action in society. But in order for students to receive the benefits of this knowledge, it must be conveyed to them in a new way. The formalism of the past, the elitism often associated with liberal arts study, a destructive spirit of competition and rivalry, the emphasis on system at the expense of the love of learning, have no place in a renewed liberal arts education. Real renewal can only occur when the liberal arts tradition is not only transmitted in a spirit of liberality by professors, but reclaimed, with attention and labor, by students themselves.
