I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the last issue of the Concourse. I read it cover to cover as soon as I picked it up at the library. Every article was well written. I especially liked the editor's comments on various topics included in this issue. I agreed with every one of them. I was particularly interested in Joe Sobran's theory about Shakespeare. I know very little of the issue, but from the comments I have read in his columns over the past year I have found his arguments persuasive. That commentary as well as the discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien's work have made me realize how ignorant I am of great literature, and have impelled me to begin reading these authors. Anyway, keep up the good work. The Concourse is a great asset to the University, and I have seen much improvement in it over the two years I've been in Steubenville.

Having just finished the latest Concourse, I am more than ever sold on its importance to Franciscan University. You have supplied a missing and much needed opportunity for intellectual conversation among students, faculty and friends like me. Fortunately you have set your goal high, demanding both literary quality and content importance. Although adherence to this standard will be difficult at times, the journal provides a much needed outlet of intellectual thought emanating from the University. Please keep it up. While the Concourse may cause some friction at times, your own goal as publisher, which you enunciate quite clearly and well, should be reiterated from time to time so that your readers will be reminded that all things should speak to the glory of our Lord Jesus, and so that the Concourse develops new and richer harmony as it grows older and hopefully more and more helpful.
