Sen. Thomas Dodd a true servant- The friars at Providence College are mentioned in this article by JULIE SHERMAN For the Norwich Bulletin
“Since Tom (Dodd) shared the Catholic faith with the priests, he was stimulated by the opportunity to blend academic work with continuous personal exposure to the spiritual outlook that underlay the pedagogy of his instructors. He sought them out for conversation outside of class. These relationships would be of lasting help to him later, as he strove to achieve a balance between spirituality, free inquiry and practicality.”

Here begins his article entitled My Divine Comedy at Providence College
“In the middle of the journey of our life / I found myself in a dark wilderness / for I had wandered from the straight and true.” With these words, Dante began his Divine Comedy and looking back on it now I realize that when I entered Providence College I too had wandered from the straight and true. I rarely find it valuable or wise to write about oneself on the pages of the Commentary section but I feel the need in my final article to explain why I so often refer to Providence College as my beloved, why Providence College is my Beatrice. The answer is this: as Beatrice’s prayers lead to Dante’s salvation, Providence College’s education saved me when I was lost in a wilderness.
