( "The university has been known for the excellence of it...)
"The university has been known for the excellence of its teaching . . .; its immense influence on American Catholic education and the intensity and liveliness of its intramural theological debates, reflecting the stresses of the modern world on the church. This informative history, by an emeritus professor of sociology, traces the university's development, omitting no controversy of relevance to current issues."--Washington Post Book World
