Container Summary

1 TLS (carbon copy) from Ned O'Gorman to Father Alberto Pruaas-Tollas, an Italian priest. In the letter O'Gorman describes his ideas for a school in Switzerland. "I see the school that would begin in the summer of 1964...I would seek students to whom the life of the intellect is a serious, joyous and holy event...It must be a place where the church in her deepest meaning and life can lead men to an encounter with the truth."
