Thomas Aquinas College began its program in liberal education in the fall of 1971. The program was based upon an understanding of Catholic education as seriously intellectual and loyal to the teaching Church. The College has, without deviating from its original purpose, provided the beginnings of Catholic liberal education for those students prepared and eager to function within a curriculum which gives shape to that purpose.
The experience of success, in its turn, aroused within the College the desire to publish a review which would speak to those off the campus who share the same concerns as the teachers, alumni, and students who have, over the years, participated in the life of the college community.
Toward that end, the College began publishing The Aquinas Review in the fall of 1994. The aim of the review is to stimulate a continuing conversation with an ever widening audience about some of the important topics which should concern us as men and as Christians, topics which we ignore at a risk which is much too dangerous for the health of our souls.
