loras legacy symposium - MyWeb at Loras
Loras Legacy Symposium april 27, 2016 A TRIBUTE TO THE REV. MSGR. JAMES BARTA, PH.D. Monsignor Barta is known for his many roles at Loras College – priest, counselor, psychology professor, department chair, Academic Dean, President, Regent. But his passion is teaching. In Msgr. Barta’s presidential inaugural address, he talked specifically about the liberal arts in ways that resonate with the purpose of the Legacy Symposium. His words continue to inspire as we celebrate the accomplishments of scholarship and creativity exhibited today by the Loras College community. “The liberal arts college looks for the enquiring mind to do away with ignorance. It builds libraries, it brings together an informed faculty, it provides experiences in the hope of stimulating the mind. It insists upon logic in formal classes and in the writing and the discussion of students. It alerts the student to the psychodynamics that influence their thinking. It gives them the rules of debate and other verbal exchange. It teaches them the scientific method to help separate conjecture from reality—all in the effort to reduce error. The liberal arts college required a breadth as well as a depth of experience, insisting that its people taste of various cultures, learn of various opinions, learn to relate to people with a wide variety of ideas to everyone’s enrichment and advantage—all in the effort to avoid narrowness. […] A liberal education is something much more than the cultivation of technological expertise. It is also the cultivation of that social sensitivity which brings the warmth and color to life. It is the explicit profession that we are social by nature, and incomplete without others. It is the expression of respect for others, manifesting itself in generosity, not the selfishness which enslaves us.” Msgr. James Barta, (’52) Liberal Arts, Faith Values: Leaven for Society Friday, October 28, 1988 2 The Loras Legacy Symposium was made possible by a kind gift from Msgr. James Barta.

This day serves as one of my favorites during the academic year. At no other time do we showcase so prominently your extraordinary achievements and learning experiences. When highlighted collectively, it is amazing to witness the powerful outcomes associated with your work, service, research, and creative efforts. My colleagues and I are anxious to learn more about your individual achievements and collaborative assignments. There is no doubt that you discovered something new, learned an alternative viewpoint, witnessed or experienced a previously unknown phenomenon, surprised yourself by tapping into a new skill, shared moments of vulnerability, found your passion, and/or inspired an idea as to what might be next in your academic, personal or career journeys. I hope you’ll join me in recognizing and thanking the many faculty and staff who have especially mentored you along the way. Additionally, please extend gratitude to former Loras president and current Regent, Msgr. Barta, and our faculty leaders – Drs. Cooper, Eller, Garoutte, Omarzu, Sinha, and Van Laningham - for making the Legacy Symposium a welldeserved recognition of your achievements. Finally, be sure to take the time to be present and appreciate your works and those of your peers. Congratulations and best wishes for continued academic success! Cordially, James E.

WILLIAM JOENSEN, DEAN OF SPIRITUAL LIFE Readings from the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. Please join in the sung response after every 3 readings. “God loves nothing so much as the one who dwells with Wisdom. For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars…If riches are desirable in life, what is richer than Wisdom, who produces all things? And if prudence is at work, who in the world is a better artisan than she? Or if one loves righteousness, whose works are virtues, she teaches moderation and prudence, righteousness and fortitude, and nothing in life is more useful than these. Or again, if one yearns for wide experience, she knows the things of old, and infers the things to come.” — Book of Wisdom, 7:29-30; 8:5-7 “Society needs artists, just as it needs scientists, technicians, workers, professional people, witnesses of the faith, teachers, fathers and mothers, who ensure the growth of the community by means of that supreme art from which is the “art of education”…The particular vocation of individual artists decides the arena in which they serve and points, as well, to the tasks they must assume, the hard work they must endure and the responsibility they must accept. . . . There is there an ethic, even a ‘spirituality’ of artistic service, which contributes in its way to the life and renewal of a people. It is precisely this to which Cyprian Norwid seems to allude in declaring that ‘beauty is to enthuse us for work, and work is to raise us up’” — John Paul II, “Letter to Artists,” n. 4 6 “After judgment & the wet sacrament of slaughter, greener than Eden, a shock of bliss to see just past the stew & suck of reeking waters, the earth ate sunshine under the olive trees. Noah, his wife, their sons, their daughters rushed to lower the gangplank. Awkward, long doubled, unboxed & jostling, the passengers suddenly free hustled uncoupling ashore to uncouple, suddenly free.” – Marie Ponsot, “Even,” in The Bird Catcher “Sport, properly directed, develops character, makes a man courageous, a generous loser, and a gracious victor; it refines the senses, gives intellectual penetration, and steels the will to endurance. It is not merely a physical development then. Sport, rightly understood, is an occupation of the whole man, and while perfecting the body as an instrument of the mind, it also makes the mind itself a more refined instrument for the search and communication of truth and helps man to achieve that end to which all others must be subservient, the service and praise of his Creator.” — Pope Pius XII “I know one thing you don’t. I know the difference between Right and Wrong.They didn’t teach you that at school.’ Rose didn’t answer; the woman was quite right: the two words meant nothing to her. Their taste was extinguished by stronger foods--Good and Evil.” ― Graham Greene, Brighton Rock “Nothing about the evolutionary explanations for human behaviour could account for why it seemed so right for this privileged white man to be standing at the bedside of this young African farmer, each of them receiving something exceptional. This was what C.S. Lewis calls agape. It is the love that seeks no recompense. It is an affront to materialism and naturalism. And it is the sweetest joy one can experience”— Francis S. Collins, The Language of God, p. 217 “What is this enigmatic impulse that does not allow one to settle down in the achieved, the finished? I think it is a quest for reality. I give to this word its naïve and solemn meaning, a meaning having nothing to do with philosophical debates of the last few centuries. It is the Earth as seen by Nils from the back of the gander and by the author of the Latin ode from the back of Pegasus. Undoubtedly, the Earth is and her riches cannot be exhausted by any description. To make such an assertion means to reject in advance a question we often hear today: ‘What is reality’?, for it is the same as the question of Pontius Pilate: ‘What is truth?’ ” — Czeslaw Milosz, The Nobel Prize Lecture, 1980 “At the Vatican Observatory we love our mission, we love to explore the Universe sharing this passion with our colleagues. Astrophysics is a wonderful science and still a very exciting frontier to be at. With our research we hope to serve humanity in asking the deepest human questions about the origin of the Universe and its philosophical and theological implications — José G. Funers, S.J., former Director, Vatican Observatory. “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church, wrote Tertullian. All the faithful do not perish, nor suffer infamy or risk, but Christians are expected to be witnesses to those who did, and do. And then we will find that like the martyrs before them, the two women and six Jesuits murdered in El Salvador are, as José María Tojeira has written, dead “who continue to be profoundly active and alive. . . generating human spirit, generating human dignity, generating the capacity for dialogue and human rationality, generating a critical capacity, a constructive capacity, and generating imagination.” — Ron Hansen, A Stay against Confusion: Essays on Faith and Fiction, p. 228 “Everything is related, and we human beings are united as brothers and sisters on a wonderful pilgrimage, woven together by the love God has for each of his creatures and which also unites us in fond affection with brother sun, sister moon, brother river and mother earth” — Pope Francis, On Care for Our Common Home, n. 92 “Looking above, there’s a gap—an empty tomb—in my life. My Orion has vanished from my gaze, and with him a part of myself. But that gap up above, that silence, that stretch of stars without pattern or meaning for me, does still hold my Orion—somewhere in that field is his trinity of stars. And that means I can find him again, if only I look hard enough to locate him. If only I keep seeking, keep pursuing, because I know he is there.” — Noelle Henneman, “Searching for Orion,” The Limestone Review, 2015, p. 64 CLOSING PRAYER, FR.
