Discipline & Purpose. Growing up in Manhattan, where his father was vicar of St. Chrysostom's Chapel, "Pater," as generations of school boys affectionately called him, had no idea of becoming a prep-school headmaster. At Columbia College, he enjoyed himself while he edited the Spectator, was a campus social lion, coxed the crew, and took five years to get his degree.

The edition will include major works of such early molders of Christian doctrine as Tertullian, Origen, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine and Chrysostom, down to Gregory the Great of the 6th Century. The seven-year task will be guided by Dr. Ludwig Schopp, editor and publisher of Traditio, an annual volume of learned essays, who has enlisted the aid of most U.S. Catholic authorities on the language, history and theology of the early...
