"We're grateful for the opportunity bring the Freedom 250 Truck to Lander," said Fr. Dcn. Kyle Washut, the College's president, "and we think it's a great way to make our nation's history accessible and engaging. This semiquincentennial celebration is something that should inspire pride in all Americans at the extraordinary journey we've traveled as a country, and should spark serious reflection in all of us as to what comes next. We think this truck will be the perfect opportunity for the good people of Lander, Wyoming to experience both."

Thanks to our good friends at Adeodatus and The Catholic University of America Press, TRUTH ON TRIAL is back in print!!

“The program’s growth was immediate and rapid―student enrollment increased from 20 in 1970 to 140 in 1971, and 186 in 1972―but its counter-cultural stance put it on fragile ground at KU, and within a year, it was under intense scrutiny, culminating in a public, quasi-judicial proceeding in which a dean-appointed committee sought to determine whether the IHP should continue to exist. Quinn, Nelick, and Senior, professors with a combined total of 90+ years in teaching, were now on trial at the university, not because they had taught poorly, but because they had taught too well. On January 20, 1979, the Advisory Committee charged with investigating the Program rendered its verdict, placing it under the administration of a new Humanities Committee, effectively annihilating the IHP.

While its initial trial felt like a defeat, God had other plans in store. Thankfully (and to paraphrase Twain’s famous words), the effects of the IHP’s death were greatly exaggerated. In the years since its untimely demise on the KU campus, its impact on the world of Catholic education has only grown stronger―the fruitfulness of its alumni and friends serving as the ultimate proof of its vision’s great worth. Since the program’s closing in 1979, it has inspired the founding of both Clear Creek Abbey and Wyoming Catholic College, as well as St. Gregory’s Academy in Pennsylvania (which eventually led to Gregory the Great Academy), and St. Martin’s Academy in Kansas. Perhaps most tellingly of all, its clear call to make wonder, beauty, and experience vital parts of any educational program has impacted countless homeschooling families, private and public school teachers, and educational programs in the subsequent years.”

“Economics, Entrepreneurship, and the American Character with Fr. Robert Sirico“

While the Revolutionary War—as expected—ruined the economy, the lessons learned in the Colonial period, the habits of most Americans, and the entrepreneurial spirit of a new nation led to previously unheard of human flourishing and prosperity.

Our guest this week in our special series of “The After Dinner Scholar” is Fr. Robert Sirico, founder and president emeritus of the ActonInstitute, and a long-time friend (and former Commencement Speaker) of Wyoming Catholic College .
