How did Catholic colleges deal with the modernization of higher education and the rise of research universities? Confronting these challenges at the beginning of the twentieth century, Catholics accepted modernization in the organizational sphere but rejected it in the realm of ideas and beliefs. There they adopted the neo-Thomism prescribed by Rome as the antidote to "Modernism." Convinced of the truth of their religious and intellectual position, the restructured Catholic colleges grew rapidly after World War I. As postwar disillusionment gave way to economic collapse at home and the rise of totalitarianism in Europe, they mounted a stringent critique of secularism and committed themselves to educating for a "Catholic Renaissance." This spirit of militance carried over into the post-World War II era, but new currents were also stirring as Catholics began to look more favorably on modernity in its American form. Meanwhile, their colleges and universities were being transformed by continuing growth and professionalization. Self-criticism and commitment to academic excellence on the secular model soon followed. In the 1960's, changes in church teaching and cultural upheaval in American society reinforced the internal transformation already under way. The resulting "identity crisis" which left Catholic educators uncertain of their purpose suggests a parallel with the secularization that overtook Protestant institutions a century ago.
