text: Regarding: "Belmont Abbey President William Thierfelder told the conference that the role of a Catholic institution should be the "intentional formation of students in mind, body and spirit." He regretted that today "the primary purpose of a college education is to get a job, and preferably a high paying one.""
  - Thierfelder seems to have lost his way.  The purpose of any education is to help the individual proceed in adult life -- which includes making a living which provides the wherewithal for  the person to be active in his / her own continuing formation and learning.
  _ Perhaps he met to say, "an educated person can do anything necessary for the good of that person, and the common good." If so, then Thierfelder needs an update on rhetoric.
