Monday, June 19, 2017Shimer program to continue in a sustainable fashion."Keohane noted that 34 students would transfer to the Great Books School on North Central College's campus in Naperville, Illinois.While crediting Shimer's 14th President Dr. Susan E. Henking, Ph.D., who was hired in 2012, as playing a "crucial role in our success," Keohane stated that she would be "ending her affiliation with the College as of May 31."In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle wrote "if therefore, there is some end of our actions that we wish for on account of itself, the rest being things we wish for on account of this end, and if we do not choose all things on account of something else?for in this way the process will go on infinitely such that the longing involved is empty and pointless?clearly this would be the good, that is, the best."Henking spoke to Windy City Times by phone from a condo that had been rented by Shimer College. She said she was surrounded by boxes.Packing is a task most people try to put it off until the last minute. Perhaps such procrastination is not merely due to the labor of placing memories in cardboard containers and sealing them shut. Perhaps there is a loneliness in the finality of the act and being forced to reflect upon the decisions which led to it.Henking had known this day, this end of her actions at Shimer, was coming for some time. Yet it was a course Henking chose for the good of Shimer after what she described as "many, many years of financial difficulty.""It was so bad that, for decades, students worried that they would be the last class of Shimer College," she said. "Becoming part of North Central allowed the smaller class sizes and a lot of things to stay that were central to the educational mission in a much more financially stable environment. The faculty all kept their jobs and students got comparable or better financial aid."Since packing up and moving has been a part of Shimer's institutional history, Henking at first looked upon it with a degree of pragmatism."[Shimer] moved from Mount Carroll to Waukegan to Bronzeville and now Naperville," she stated. "So, on the one hand, the people of the institution are used to change. In this one [Shimer] gave up its autonomy. For everyone involved there's a sense of loss and gain. Every generation of students has its own version of the college. They're running a committee this summer to figure out how to be a part of a new institution but still recognizably Shimer."Henking's voice trailed off as if there was something she wanted to add but that she censored perhaps for the sake of formality. The interview was only ten minutes old."Over the course of a lifetime, I have come to understand that I cannot pursue ideas alone," she told to Perry Garfinkel and the New York Times in 2013. "Nor can I strive to change the world unless I engage others, whether those who spit on me or those with whom I share my life. I still wrestle with the tensions of differences and uncertainty. As Shimerians say, we steer between reality and utopia."Henking's reality began in 1955 in the small Pennsylvania town of Paoli long before it was annexed as a Philadelphia s...
