The praise for courses with plain titles such as Introduction to Medieval European Literature and Introduction to American History to 1877 comes at the moment when university administrators have systematically replaced them with programs designed to dissolve the very memory they once preserved.
The Managerial Priesthood that now governs most faculties measures every offering by its utility to the project of cultural dispossession, substituting grievance studies for the ordered transmission of the Western deposit.
This substitution repeats the ancient pattern in which the City of Man seeks to erase the memory of the City of God by severing the young from the record of their fathers.
The medieval universities of Paris and Oxford arose precisely to hand on the trivium and quadrivium as the necessary foundation for both sacred and secular wisdom, an order later renewed by the Reformers who insisted that every household read and reason within the inheritance of Christian letters.
When survey courses vanish, the objective moral order that the Realists rightly defended is replaced by the claim that truth itself is a construct of power, a lie that dissolves the authority of what has been handed down.
The governing principle is therefore clear: the education of a people is the first duty of any commonwealth that would remain Christian, for without the transmission of the creeds, the histories, and the literatures that formed them, the household and the nation lose their capacity to resist the leveling spirit of the age.
The Dispossessor therefore targets precisely these courses because they still name the particular inheritance that must be abolished if the new order is to prevail without memory or resistance.
The Faithful Remnant must now withdraw its children from institutions that have become engines of erasure and establish, parish by parish and household by household, the survey courses that once formed Christian men and women capable of governing themselves and their nations under God.
