The Power of Southern Women to Restore the Culture of the South -
by Lydia McGaughey Sherman
“There is a foreign nation in our midst, a forgotten nation, that is undermining our history, and controlling the outcome of the next generation. Each year, the public school graduates thousands of new voters, who have been taught a false view of history and a false view of government. They will become the lawyers and the judges, change agents of the government, who make it intolerable for Christians to practice their faith. The public schools are the enemy within. ”

The Revival of Latin -
by Hilaire Belloc
“The problem presented is simply this: There is a common civilization, abominably warped by the religious revolution and ruin miscalled “The Reformation,” but still in the main one thing. There is another name for this civilization. It used to be called Christendom; it is now sometimes vaguely called “the white races,” or, more exactly, Europe. At any rate there is one unmistakable thing which, in spite of a badly diseased and divided social state, is still in the main the common descendant of the old Christian culture. Its dress, its manner of living, its main social ideas are the same.”
The University: Reform if You Would Preserve -
by Paul J Cella
“...we might almost say of a society which, by lassitude, heresy or avarice, forces many men to become autodidacts: “there is a society oppressed by barbarism.” ... "Misfortune will be the lot of Americans for some time to come — at least for those Americans who believe that “education” contains a notion of diligent immersion in, and exploration and veneration of one’s own civilization. "

David Mulroy, Program Coordinator
“The program provides an incentive for students to devote their college years to the development of broad intellectual abilities through meeting the most difficult challenges that undergraduate education has to offer. Course requirements have been designed with an eye towards increasing general verbal and quantitative abilities rather than imparting narrow skills needed for particular jobs.”
