Dr. Thomas Dillon, hero of Catholic education

"Kindly remember the soul of Dr. Thomas Dillon, President of Thomas Aquinas College, who was killed in a car crash yesterday. He was a real hero in Catholic education who, among many services, successfully fought an attempt by the State of California and some accrediting agencies to impose their own weird criteria for “Great Books” college curricula. It was victory that benefits Catholic colleges and universities to this day."
