[A. Pole]

The institution of university derives from the Medieval Roman Catholic Church. As the Christian foundation of Western culture erodes so will the universities and science decline and fade away. You will have the dead shells with mere names.

Harvard started as a Puritan Seminary, then it became Unitarian, then it underwent secularization and commercialization. Political correctness will finish it off.

Well it may not be eroding as much as consolidating....

Aside from the big red blips on the east and left coast and a couple of other places - our country is firmly pro judaeo-christian tradition.
