In recent months, I have continued to receive e-mail messages from
alumni and friends around the country with attached news articles
regarding the dire state of American higher education. In reading these
messages I am invited to consider the question: under these
circumstances, does Antioch College have the possibility of again
becoming a thriving College? Combine this with world economic chaos,
pandemic illness and armed conflict in more than a dozen countries and
it might appear an inauspicious time to restore a liberal arts college,
even a highly regarded one with accomplished alumni.
