Dear Editor,
I’m not sure how I reacted to reading Lauren LaBorde’s column (“Losing my religion, but making darn good cupcakes,” Nov. 10, 2006). Amused? Flabbergasted?
It would appear that Ms. LaBorde failed to get the “message” of the school’s mission. Or even worse, the school failed to impress on her the “message.”
In the words of the great Bard, “Methinks the lady protests too loudly.”
I would suggest she read “The Hound of Heaven.” She would feel right at home.
I am a Loyola graduate (1949). In my day such a column would have found itself in a “file” other than in The Maroon. But Jesuit education then fulfilled its Mission. Now I truly wonder.
Thomas More, Charles Degaulle, Ignatius Loyola, Heywood Brown (an esteemed journalist of the 40s and 50s) – wake up. How unenlightened you were.
Respectfully,
J. Donald Persich, M.D.
Class of 1949
