St. John’s College Interdisciplinary
Faculty Symposium: - “WAR: Interdisciplinary
Perspectives”
“More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all
wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly
impractical method of settling the differences between
governments.” (President Franklin D. Roosevelt)
