While it's safe to say that Dean Inge never trod the campus of Marquette University, and perhaps never even heard of Marquette University, nor its "Warriors," Mr. Inge did emit a sentence which describes that institution.
“Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.”
Marquette, having married the 1960's at Land'O'Lakes, remains in the '60's today. Not because the '60's are the Permanent Things; but because they are permanently Last Century. Thus today, instead of championing the sexual revolution, MU champions the Mohammedan revolution. In between there was the revolution against Nature having to do with homosexuality, and the revolution against Nature having to do with "warming/cooling/change."
Widower, and bereft of direction.
Suppose this means you don't plan on giving generously to your alma mater?
