More than half a century ago, sociologist Thomas O'Dea said the
following about the university student who is a Latter-day Saint:
"He has been taught by the Mormon faith to seek knowledge and
to value it; yet it is precisely this course, so acceptable to and so
honored by his religion, that is bound to bring religious crisis to
him and profound danger to his religious belief. The college undergraduate
curriculum becomes the first line of danger to Mormonism
in its encounter with modern learning."
