Wednesday, December 11, 2002 At least I am not a Mohammedan!
Seventy-two years ago, on Dec. 12, 1930, G.K. Chesterton visited Holy Cross.
From a site offering audio clips from the event, an exchange between a student host and Chesterton that resonates particularly today:
STUDENT: Mr. Chesterton, since you are one of the foremost crusaders in the modern world of letters, we wish to adopt you into the humble ranks of the Holy Cross Crusaders.
CHESTERTON: I have to thank you for this very great honor, and I do so with all my heart. I can only say I am not much of a Crusader, but at least I am not a Mohammedan!
