Great Books/Great Friends

From Thomas J. O'Gorman's column at the latest weekly issue of Skyline.
"This column mourns the passing of Max Weismann, philosopher, thinker, gentle soul and passionate friend of Professor Mortimer Adler. Together they were a team of remarkable intellectuals who pioneered the Center for the Study of Great Ideas. The center was Adler’s true posterity. And Adler was Weismann’s. Since Adler’s death in 2001, the dream of an intellectually revitalized nation through the development of human intellectual ability fell to Weismann. He and Adler were the heart of many absorbing conferences from Aspen to Wye, Maryland, Chicago and across America during their lifetime. Mr. Weismann served as Chairman of the Great Books Academy until the time of his death. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Elaine Weismann, Managing Director of the Institute."
