Our college had a couple of planned interactions with the
St John's student body back then in an effort to build good will since we were both in the same city.
You know, it’s interesting. I “think” from what I hear is that St. John’s back in the day (ie, the 70s and 80s) was a bit of a holdout for hippies. Interestingly, now it has sort of “evolved” as the rest of academia tries to demonize and dismantle the study of Western Civ., all of a sudden, St. John’s has become (as I understand) very conservative!
My how times change! In light of the general trend of our culture in America, though, that sure makes sense!
