Following from this, our first priority is to provide for the continued formation of our students in the traditional Catholic Faith, centered on the Traditional Mass. We consider it our duty to provide students with an environment and a culture in which they can grow in their faith, one that is safe for them spiritually so they can have a fruitful sacramental and prayer life during this critical period of their lives. We operate on the motto that 18 years of sacrifice and commitment at home should not be undone in 3 months of college.

We are certain that this can only be accomplished by remaining faithful to the timeless, sacred traditions that have been passed down to us through the ages and have always been true source of faith, piety, and culture....”

I think the above could be considered, like I said above, "fighting words". It does seem to imply at least that this is not possible without the TLM.

Seems to me like they should be advocating to celebrate the Mass according to the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, since that is far more the timeless, sacred tradition (being about 1,000 years older than the Liturgy of St Pius V).

Note: I say that as somebody who loves both the TLM and the Eastern Rite and think that both are far superior to the N.O. But to say that the E.F. Mass is truly ancient (in terms of the timeline of the Church) is laughable.
