I'm struck with how the Great Books Program as taught with openness to Catholic thought had such an effect.

Let us not forget who the enemy of civilization is:

some prominent university donors protested and the program was shut down

There’s a book about the Pearson Program (Integrated Humanities Program) at the University of Kansas called Truth on Trial: Liberal Education Be Hanged
by Robert K. Carlson. Carlson was a student in the program, but did not become Catholic if I remember correctly. He was outraged at what was done to destroy the program, however. The book is now rare and pricey, but you might find a copy somewhere. It’s worth the read.
