Author Description

"Thy Honored Name highlights the confluence of two strong educational traditions - Puritan and Jesuit - and the growing appreciation of their compatibility. It is also an account of efforts to promote academic excellence without losing an authentically Jesuit identity in a region where many formerly religious schools have become secular. The book will hold interest for persons who study educational and religious history, for individuals interested in the development of New England and Worcester, and for friends of Holy Cross."--BOOK JACKET.
