Harvard’s Rules and Precepts 1636:
“Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is etneral life (John 17:3) and therefore lay Christ at the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning.”

They must have foreseen that we’d eventually forsake our foundation.
It seems that they were warning us.
Yet, we’re right where they didn’t want us to be.

If the founders were to see our educational systems today, they would grieve.

Naively, I didn’t see a problem.
however, seeing the founders original intention,

I, too, grieve.

Princeton:
“Cursed is all learning that is contrary to the Cross of Christ”

Where did the dichotomy arise?  Whence came the idea that learning and spiritual growth must be separate? that somehow faith must be put on hold in order to find real knowledge? that Christians cannot be intellectuals or worse, that Christianity is not intelligible?

As I pursue Truth,
I pursue Him.
Now, may it be Truth that I pursue.
Always.

THAT is true learning.
