Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the state of non-secular higher education in Ireland in the early 1900s. The author, a president of University College, Dublin, argues that Irish Catholics do not have equal opportunities for higher education. They must attend a college that ignores religion altogether, or they can seek education at a Catholic school that does not receive government assistance. This disadvantages them, as they are not eligible for religious-based scholarships, and there is an anti-Catholic sentiment in Ireland that has led to unfair distribution of public funds for higher education. The author argues for equal treatment for Catholics in higher education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
