THE FATHERINGOFACOUNTRY
On August 30, 1995, a country won 't be founded, but a new college
will. The Honors College at Adelphi in Garden City, 45 minutes from
New York City. Its aim, like Jefferson 's 200 years ago, is to prepare
the next generation of leaders in
.J__
government, science, the arts, the
professions and business.
Despite the portrayal of today's
generation as subjects of circumstance
rather than makers of history, we
take an optimistic view. We have
established the Honors College to
ensure our students know they can be
the best.
We believe we can accomplish this
through a comprehensive education
that will feature Adelphi 's nationally
recognized Core Curriculum; an

built on a radical interpretation of the
ideas that will take the Western tradition into the twenty-first century,
helping to assure the vitality of our civilization; a Mentors Program
that pairs each student with a distinguished faculty member as
advisor and gUide; and an Honors College Residence that creates an
environment where students and faculty work and live side by side.
After four such inte ll ectually charged years, graduates will,
in the words of Adelphi's President, Peter Diamandopoulos,
"possess the qualities that will prove crucial
in
the coming decades:
intellectual discernment, sound judgment, unrestricted imagination and
moral courage."
Qualities that can only give our Honors College
students, and with them our nation, a very good
shot at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in
the 21st century.
