...What the Jesuits Taught Me I graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School, the prep school you profiled, one month before the apocalyptic riots of 1967 [Nov. 16]. I am most proud of the fact that U of D chose to stay in Detroit and not abandon it as the other Catholic schools did. My class continues to contribute to our namesake city in many ways. We have purchased two bricks on the world-class Detroit River-Walk promenade, the only school that has done so. A few years ago, I moved back to downtown Detroit after retiring...

As part of its counterattack, the Army murdered six Jesuit priests and two of their housekeepers; but the rebels' actions during that urban offensive, which killed scores of civilians and injured hundreds more, weren't particularly admirable, either. If the Route of Peace can help to keep Salvadorans, and foreign governments like the U.S., from repeating the mistakes of that dark decade, then it seems...
...original version of this article suggested that the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy is the only Catholic college-prep school in Detroit. That was based on a definition of college prep as a place where 75% or more of students take college-prep courses and go on to college. In fact Detroit Cristo Rey, a Catholic high school launched last year, aims to be a college-prep school as well, though it has yet to graduate a class...
