April 15, 2004
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Office of the Provost, I am pleased to welcome
you again to this eighth annual display of our collective scholarly
productivity. Once again St. John’s faculty have produced more than
30 books since April of last year, testifying to the continuing
intellectual vibrancy of the faculty in every school and
college.
This year we have a significant number of first editions and
several monographs published by university presses.
It is an axiom of the academy that the scholarly life of the
faculty is its intellectual heart, and to thrive that life must be
shared, tested, discussed and celebrated. Our students deserve
nothing less than classes which grow from our personal,
disciplinary engagements with the world and with the best work of
our contemporaries; these books are the tools of that
engagement.
To each of our current contributors, congratulations, and to all
our colleagues, we look forward to honoring you next year or some
year soon.
Willard Gingerich
Vice Provost
