The College Book List 
Great Books Books make the great authors
our companions; we read to know we are not alone. The great authorities,
with the College Tutors, are the teachers around whom the College curriculum
is formed, and maintaining and reviewing the College List is one of
the principal duties of the Fellows. These works bring the reader
into the conversation of the authorities, and knowledge of them is
the foundation of liberal learning. As classics, these sources are
never comprehended in one reading, and some are not read in their entirety
in the curriculum, but these works remain living voices to be read
and re-read throughout ones life. There are about one hundred books
in the College curriculum, and, although students will also read some
secondary works, documents, and critical studies, one well read in
the College List is on the way to being liberally educated. The content
of the courses in the disciplines will vary slightly from time to time,
but the Sophomore Comprehensive Examination is based on the works included
in the College List.
