Can Our Universities Be Saved?

As for commencement addresses, Cacey N. Nep at Politico wrote, “At Harvard’s first commencement in 1642, every single member of the graduating class gave an address in Greek, Hebrew or Latin. The commencement address was not singular, but plural, and those doing the addressing were not distinguished guests, but lowly graduates.” (There were 9 grads in total.)

Chew on that for a moment. Every graduate at Harvard in 1642 “gave an address in Greek, Hebrew or Latin.” And you can be sure that the faculty, if not every grad, understood every word of every speaker. Contrast that with Najiania’s joking call to have sex with an immigrant to boost morale. (You’d be even more shocked if you read about the moral requirements in the early days of Harvard.)

To repeat, then, my initial question: Can our universities be saved?

I’m not talking about restoring many of them to their deeply Christian roots. I’m talking about restoring them as bastions of education, not leftist indoctrination. Is it too late?
