Abstract

On June 1 1992, Edward A. Malloy, CSC, began his second term as president of the University of Notre Dame. Culture and Commitment is a collection of public addresses given during his first term, 1987-1991. During these years, Malloy has used the opportunity afforded him by his position to discuss at length both the state of higher education today, as well as which directions it should take in the future. As president of Notre Dame, he brings experience and insight to bear on current issues affecting higher education in general, and Catholic higher education in particular. Malloy addresses the need to raise awareness of moral consideration in preparing students for the professions, and the need to promote programmes directed toward increasing student involvement in social justice.
