Task for Vatican Council? The reactions to unfulfilled promises, says Callahan, are already plentifully visible: "The unwillingness of many recent Catholic college graduates to join parish or church organizations; the flight from Catholic higher education of many young Catholic scholars; the transference of the zeal of many apostolic Catholics from Church to secular organizations; the desire of innumerable Catholics to detach themselves from any cultural attachment to the Church, to lose themselves in a sheltering, pluralistic society." Callahan thinks that the frustration of lay hopes could lead to anticlericalism, but sees a more immediate danger in the dissipation...
Eble devotes a chapter to the battle between faculties and administrations. Part of the trouble stems from the loss of students' zeal ("American students come reluctantly to learning"), compared with the old days when students controlled the colleges and levied fines on professors late to class. I might interject here that in Latin American students still sometimes gain control of their universities, but in a manner that would have shocked their medieval predecessors.

Thanks to the community's work in the past, other "experiments" have been organized on nearly 50 other U.S. campuses from Brown to Wisconsin. But perhaps the best measure of Lewis' success is his group of "lost laymen": of the 1,500 students who have lived...
