Introduction to Odyssey Bound 2012-2013by Christine Kng
There are, in this school year, 438 different reasons why students come to St. John’s College. Yet the Program is ultimately the same program for all of us, and we experience it in ways that are not too different. We read the same books and share the same classes. We think about what it means to be fully human, how to live a good life; we explore the foundations of mathematics and the sciences; we study the ancients and the Renaissance up close. Our minds and souls approach the heights. And then, at the end of it, we graduate. What comes next? How do we bring ourselves into the world, and not experience, as Faust does,

Observations of Outcomes after St. John’s CollegeAn Interview with David Levineby Christine Kng
I’d never met him beforeI emailed him to request an interview for Odyssey Bound, but in the course of the in-terview and the conversations we had afterwards, the contemplative wisdom of hisviews – and his person – came across to me very strongly. In one of those conversa-tions, he said, in passing, “It’s clear from the interview that you’re very concerned withthe world,” and I interjected, “More so than you?” He didn’t answer my question di-rectly, but said – much of what he said is echoed in the interview – that he has been inthe world, and he’s older, and has more experience. He said – it’s easier to be certainabout the value of an education here after years have passed, and you’re able to lookback and see what St. John’s has enabled you to do.The following are only excerpts – in order to fully experience his gentle wisdom, you
need to read his Dean’s lectures, or better yet, have a conversation with him. But here isa start.
ACQUIRED SKILLSLearning to learn“I gave a commencement address a few years ago, and said that the one thing we learn
at St. John’s is courage. We confront very difficult texts every day, and by this we con-front our own limitations. Over time, we learn how to deal with difficulty – we’re notdaunted or discouraged, or perhaps we might be initially, but after a while, we take it asa challenge. In the commencement address, I told a story about a graduate of Santa Fewho became an executive with a large corporation. His job required a great deal of tech-nical knowledge and judgment. Before a board meeting one morning, I asked him, ‘Didyou go to engineering school?’ He said: ‘No, I read Newton.’ By that, he meant: there’sno other text as difficult as Newton. And so he was able to teach himself all the technicalthings he needed to know in order to oversee his area of responsibility. “It was a typical Johnnie experience: ‘Oh, I can do that, I’ll just learn that.’ There
are many people I went to school with who ended up doing things in the world – who continue to amaze. They all say the same thing: St. John’s taught them how to learn.They never ceased learning; they were eager to learn, to take up responsibilities andtake on challenges, and they are the better for it.”
Freeing the mind“One of the things most people are impressed with about our graduates is their open-
ness: their willingness to talk about, reflect on and examine things that other people either take for granted or dismiss out of hand. We are not narrow or dogmatic in a waythat many people can be; we are willing to see the other side of the position, and we are opened to different possibilities, which is only possible if we ourselves aren’t entrenched in very narrow commitments. Day after day in class, we challenge ourselveswith propositions in mathematics, experiments in lab, or difficult texts in seminar, andwe are forced to put in abeyance our previous opinions, and open ourselves to seeingthe world from someone else’s eyes. All of this requires that we free ourselves from dogmatism and from any native stubbornness. We realize that we can learn from others,and we develop a facility of mind which allows us to incorporate more than just our ownopinions in the way we see the world and live in it.”

PROCESS OF TRANSITIONDifficulty, hard work“Oh, no. Nothing is easy for St. John’s
graduates or for anyone. There’s always asteep learning curve. There’s the world outthere, and any occupation of any sort isgoing to involve an enormous effort and anumber of years to acquire the necessaryskills, background, training, whatever.Nothing is easy. On the other hand, I think,or I hope – maybe it’s more a hope – thatwe’re not discouraged by difficulty ordaunted by challenges. Like I said, we’velearned courage. “There are necessary things to be done
to begin this transition – going to CareerServices, etc. But whether and how onemakes the most of one’s opportunities hasto do with the individual and what they’reprepared to do, and in part, that is whattheir education has prepared them to do.There is no easy road, no – medical schoolis hard, business school is hard. Any field orarea that one goes into is going to requireextraordinary dedication, extraordinary en-ergy, and extraordinary focus. Are we readyto take on the challenges? My hope is thatthe answer is yes, more often than no.”
OUTCOMELifelong readers“When Johnnies get together... I think of
friends or people who were students withme and it’s interesting to see how, when-ever we get together, we’re always talkingabout something and trying to see it in allits different facets. Our experience here inasking probing questions about a booklends itself well to discovering life in all itsrichness. And it’s certainly not just an aca-demic skill; we’re learning something thatmakes possible a very rich and exciting viewof the world. The practice of trying to thinkthrough these very difficult authors stickswith us, and we will become ready to takeon all sorts of difficult challenges.
“And these are of the modern world, ofthe real world– Absolutely. A lot of people Iknow have gone into computers, and theyactually find it easy. The corporate execu-tive told me, “I read Newton.” He may notremember Newton’s third law, but the expe-rience of tackling, of thinking through andovercoming the difficulties of any particularauthor stays with us. There’s something inwhat we do that stays with us for a lifetime.That’s the real reward of an education like this. “A friend of mine is an oncologist in the
City of Hope hospital. He’s very famous,and he says two things: first, of all his ac-complishments, and there are many, he onlyhas one thing hanging on his wall, andthat’s his St. John’s diploma. Second, hesays that when he does rounds in the hospi-tal, his rounds are longer than everybodyelse’s, because he’s asking questions… it’srather like a peripatetic seminar. You don’tjust want to know the answers; you want toknow what people are thinking, what theirquestions were, that led them to those answers. And that helps us in all aspects out-side St. John’s. People remain Johnnies.”
Gifts“I’m obviously optimistic about our grad-
uates. Our graduates aren’t necessarily asoptimistic initially; they have to face… whatone of my students used to call the ‘R’words – ‘Responsibility’, and ‘Reality’.There’s always a transition. Once peopleland on their feet, I think they’ll come to ap-preciate that they’ve benefitted more fromSt. John’s and have more to give than per-haps they realized...“In the charter to the college, it says that
the intention of the college is to make citi-zens and people of character. When itcomes down to it, graduates of this collegeare really just readers and thinkers andartists; we do what we do, and even aftergraduation we continue to make that an im-portant part of our day, making the most
out of whatever situation we find ourselvesin. But this means that we live in the worldand are open to the world, and this involvesreading other books, talking to other peo-ple, travelling, and seeing other ways of life.And above all, we move towards contribut-ing to our community, being responsibleand mature leaders, and good parents.”
David Lawrence Levine began his education at the University of Pennsylvania, before transferringto the Annapolis campus of St. John’s College,graduating in 1967. He went on to complete anM.A. and a PH.D. at Pennsylvania State University,then spent several years in Paris and West Germany, taught for several years at Penn andOklahoma State, before coming back to St. John’sCollege, Santa Fe, in 1986. He was Assistant Deanin 1997, Director of the Graduate Institute from1997 to 2001, and Dean from 2001 to 2006.

What is ARIEL??ARIEL is the college-funded internship program at St. John’s-Santa Fe. The Ariel In-ternship Program, created in 2004, provides undergraduates with stipends to pursue unpaid summer internships in the field of their choice. It is open to currentfull-time undergraduates at the Santa Fe campus (this includes transfer students fromAnnapolis, graduating seniors, and students planning on taking a year off – interna-tional students are also eligible, but should talk to Career Services about the specificguidelines). Ariel awards up to $3,600 for general internships and up to $4,000 forbiomedical internships. The amount of the award varies by situation, depending on theamount requested and the duration of the internship. Since more and more internships are unpaid these days, Ariel’s financial support
allows students to dedicate themselves to the internship experience without the needfor summer employment. It is a chance to immerse yourself in a field before you’recommitted to it. If you can’t find internships in your field of interest, the great thing about Ariel is
that you can CREATE YOUR OWN INTERNSHIP! The Career Services staff is hereto help students find appropriate mentors in their field of interest, and assist them inconstructing a successful internship. Often, St. John’s alumni provide great opportu-nities for students who wish to create their own internship. Previous Ariel interns have pursued positions in neurology, immunology, journal-
ism, politics, public policy, law, photography, biology, education, botany, architecture,foreign service, and more! Stop by Career Services to brainstorm for your internship,and make a plan to apply. The deadline for Ariel applications is in early February, butstarting now will improve your chances of landing the internship of your dreams.

Internships
Alexander Harris, Ariel Intern 2012, with the City Planning Commission in Philadelphia.
New Internship Coordinator: Chelsea Allen “I am very glad to have joined St. John's as the new Internship Coordinator. Asan undergraduate, I majored in Business Management, but I've always had avery broad love of learning and great interest in the areas of thought that com-prise the Liberal Arts. That interest eventually led me to the graduate programat St. John’s. Once here, this position seemed like a great way to utilize my busi-ness background in service to the St. John's community.
“As students, you may ask yourself, ‘Why complete an internship?’ The best reason to do an internship might not be to gain insight into a particular industry or field of interest, or even to help you network and secure a job aftergraduation – although these are often part of successful internships. Rather,the most compelling reason to do an internship (especially for a Johnnie!)might be that you always learn something of value from them, and they oftenprove a real complement to the rest of your education.
“Internships are an opportunity to practice what you have gained from a liberal education: particularly, thoughtfulness and curiosity, superior communi-cations skills, a capacity for wrangling with difficult problems or questions, andanalytical, reasoned thought. Furthermore, internships and liberal educationboth contribute something to preparing you for the life of a good citizen, for thelife of a contributing member of the polis.”
