Being "a man of letters" is not just being well read. It means receiving and reading the pages of the past like letters addressed across millennia. To study the humanities, Dr Conlon says, is to realize that the past is not silent but is always there, ready and waiting to speak.

The Ancient Greeks came to master philosophy by careful and critical study of their own language. The analysis of grammar and syntax revealed the logos – the fundamental logical principles by which we can make sense of our world. As Dr Conlon argues, languages sharpen the mind.

In 2018 we hosted a beautiful and memorable discussion between Sir Roger Scruton and Dr Jordan Peterson about the power of the transcendent. Here they discuss how the greatest literature, art, and music can communicate with us in a way that redescribes reality. Full link below.

Tradition is not the handing on of ashes but the transmission of fire. There is no other way to preserve a civilization than to set our younger generation on fire with the beauty, truth, and sheer adventure that it affords, of which they are the full and rightful inheritors. Nothing can better root or better reward them amid our current crisis of meaning. This is why Ralston College takes its students to Greece and Rome, to the very places where our civilization was forged and tested, and why we teach them these ancient languages—so that they can unlock directly the treasures of that invaluable inheritance, better understand the world they now inhabit, and share these immense riches with others. Here is a video of our first Latin program in Italy this summer, involving students from all over the world, who came together to learn this beautiful and profound language. Although most students had no knowledge of Latin at all when they arrived, they left able not just to read but also to speak it, each on fire with the flame that gives life meaning, illumination, and purpose. Let every spirit thrive: ANIMUS CRESCAT
