A Jesuit & A Boy

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A Catholic boy from Minnesota

"Why do I make lists?" Amory asked him one night.
"Lists of all sorts of things?"

"Because you're a mediaevalist," Monsignor answered.

"It's the nucleus of scholastic philosophy."

"I was beginning to think I was growing eccentric

"Yes?"

"But do the next thing."
