Previous owner's gift inscription on the front free endpaper dated 1990; otherwise pages are clean and unmarked. John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was an English theologian, poet, and Oxford academic who led the Oxford Movement within the Church of England before his 1845 conversion to Roman Catholicism, after which he became a cardinal and one of the most influential Catholic thinkers of the nineteenth century; his writings on conscience, education, and religious belief remain foundational texts in modern Catholic intellectual life. Edited by The Reverend John H. Morgan with an appreciation essay by Sister Madeleine Kisner, this volume gathers original poetry from over three hundred and fifty Catholic institutions, high schools, colleges, universities, convents and religious houses, contributed in honor of the centenary of Newman's death. Kisner's introductory essay, "Catholic Education in America and Its Impact on Higher Education Through Newman's The Idea of a University," provides scholarly context on Newman's influence on Catholic higher education in America. The poetic contributions range from teenage students in Catholic middle schools to distinguished university faculty, offering a wide-ranging communal tribute.
