Jesuit Educated Journalist Still Impacted By A Jesuit 40 Years Later

Jim Dooley in an editorial entitled, World Class Education?
Just as I was about to throw in the towel, I remembered an observation that an old Jesuit priest named Donceel made about 40 years ago in a classroom I happened to be in: he said that an educated person is somebody you sit talking with in a plane flying between San Francisco and New York and when you disembark you don't know what the man does for a living. The remark assumes a lot of things that the old priest evidently believed he could assume. At least he brought the question home to where it makes some sense. He may have been one of the last people to have gotten one of them world class educations.
