An engaging history of a revolutionary period in the contemporary Roman Catholic Church. Catholic Theological Union is the largest Catholic school of ministry in the United States. Inspired by the Second Vatican Council, it was founded amidst the momentous changes sweeping the church & country in 1968. Paul Bechtold was the school's first president & he uses his historian's skill to trace CTU's formative years: the dynamism of the post-conciliar church; the transformation in Catholicism's way of training its priests & ministers; the tension & energy of the church of Chicago under its then Archbishop John Cody; & the unprecedented ecumenical collaboration begun with Hyde Park's Protestant seminaries & the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. In his Foreword to the volume, Fred Hofheinz of the Lilly Endowment notes that the last half of the 1960s was a "defining period for the church & the nation for the late 20th century." CTU was born in that "defining period" & has grown to be a premier institution of Catholic theological education. This absorbing history leads the reader through that definitive chapter of American Catholic life. To order: Catholic Theological Union, 5401 S. Cornell Ave., Chicago IL 60615.

This document lists the typical tuition and required fees and room and board charges assessed to college students in 1994-95 based on a national "Institutional Characteristics" survey which is part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. The data were collected from over 5,000 of the 5,775 4-year, 2-year, and public less-then-2-year postsecondary institutions in the United States and its outlying areas. Included are tuition and fee charges to in-state and out-of-state students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with the costs for room and board, and the number of meals per week covered by the board charge. These charges are not weighted by enrollment. Included are several tables with national statistics on tuition and required fees at postsecondary institutions for academic year 1994-95 followed by tables showing charges at individual institutions and tuition and required fees for first-professional programs. A summary of the publication's statistics notes that the median charge at public 4-year institutions for tuition and fees was $2,445 for undergraduate, in-state students; that at public 2-year institutions tuition and required fees averaged $1,461 for in-state students; and that undergraduate tuition and fees at private, non-profit 4-year institutions averaged 8.46 for in-state undergraduate students.
