See post #7.
True - I was going for the literal “I don’t recall it being named after a saint” since the school isn’t named “Saint Thomas Aquinas”, though I concede that’s an awfully fine needle point upon which to base a debate… 
That’s probably it.
Wow, I never even knew that places like this existed. I wish I had known about them 20 years ago.

I wrote both posts, but the one that mentioned New College was post #5.
SJC doesn’t “do much” science? While the study of science there is not hi-tech, every student takes three years of science classes, ranging from botany, anatomy and astonomy, through physics and optics, up to studying relativity and quantum theory. I doubt many students who come out of other colleges with a BS have anywhere near as developed an understanding of the sciences.
Interesting. It didn’t sound like that from the description that I saw. Thanks for the correction.
Yes, you must be thinking of St John’s. I remember them recruiting me heavily back in the 70s (Reed did, too). It sounded very cool, but I’m glad I ended up elsewhere.
John Mace, note that in post #23 GreenElf says that it’s probably Thomas Aquinas.
If anyone would like more info about St. John’s (Santa Fe and Annapolis), please see my post(s) in this thread.
I graduated from the Annapolis campus in 1984, and am happy to talk about it here or in private messages or e-mails.
You can go to St. John’s at any age. I was 25 when I started, and not the youngest person in my class. Also, you can take the Graduate program, an abbreviated form of the Great Books program offered over two summers (fulltime) or two school years (part-time evening).
