Imagine how different the universities would be if, as of old, all the professors were priests, who were – by lifelong vocation, and at great hedonic cost to themselves – explicitly devoted first and so only to the service of the Lord; of the Lógos; of the Truth; of Lux & Veritas, as the Yale sigil has it.
Imagine then how different the universities would be if all their students were expected to be novice monks or nuns, in the process of discernment; if, indeed, one could not gain admission to collegiate studies except by strict prior vows of chastity, abstinence and obedience while engaged therein.
