Student
publications play a critical role in the life of a college by providing a
written forum for intellectual and creative exchange. Learning is not to be
safely buried in a field nor locked in an ivory tower, but rather shared
throughout a community, contributing to that great conversation so
indispensable to the life of the mind. Student publications serve as a platform
for this conversation, sparking and fueling the discourse necessary for
intellectual motion.
The Quad
is founded upon the principle that learning should not be confined to the
classroom. Education is for the whole of a person. Thus we publish a broad
range of intellectual works, from the critical to the creative, from scholarly
essays and book reviews to travelogues, poetry, and non-fiction
narratives. This holistic pursuit of the intellectual life should never
be divorced from a pursuit of God. All truth, we believe, is God’s
truth. The Quad aspires to develop the mind in Christ, and seeks
to feed not only the intellect, but the soul. Thus, we welcome excellent
works from all disciplines, so that, along with the Echo and Collegian,
we may nourish the intellectual life of the entire campus.
