True that. I googled them and so they do: In comparison, when a group of Irish Augustinians founded Villanova in 1842, they instilled in it Augustine's unity of mind and heart with priority to the heart. They built a learning community based on friendship. One hundred sixty years later, the formula endures. Villanova, so often described as a community of scholars, is also a community of lay and religious, of students, faculty and staff. It educates its students to use the knowledge and skills they gain for the benefit of the world community, whether it is in downtown Philadelphia, in the mountains of Latin America, in the towns of Northern Ireland, or in Bryn Mawr, Pa. They are expected to take the ethics they have learned and apply them in financial centers, courts of law, engineering firms, technology centers, classrooms, healthcare, and educational institutions.

How can they square their public image with the stern, Austere philosophy of St Augustine?
