All men, said Aristotle, by nature desire to know. What we know, those ideas and images to which we give our minds and hearts, is who we are. And because thought is for the sake of action, what we know tells us how to touch the world and what the particular dimensions of the adventure that is our life will be.

Through teaching the Great Books in the disciplines of literature, philosophy, theology, and the classical languages, through its community life, and through participation in the overseas interterms in Rome, Oxford, and Greece, the College of Saint Thomas More offers you an opportunity to become a member
of the tradition that has formed the intellect of the West.

The learning that comes from the books and conversation
of the College, to be cherished in itself, will take each of us along a road that leads beyond ideas and books, into the realms that are first political, making us good members of the city, and then personal, into knowledge of ourselves, of others who walk beside us, into knowledge of God who made us.
