The Barry Center promotes these intellectual virtues
Integrity
A scholar’s highest responsibility is to pursue knowledge, not to promote political partisanship.
Courage
A scholar is called to defend the truth, while also displaying intellectual generosity toward those who disagree.
Civility
A scholar welcomes the civil exchange of ideas and arguments, seeing the university as a place for free and fair inquiry.
Friendship
A scholar flourishes in a community, in which teachers and students seek to know and love the truth together.
