Help us spread the word about Orestes Brownson

Comments from some participants in the 2025 Orestes Brownson Essay Contest:

"I hope you enjoy reading my essay at least as much as I enjoyed writing it."
"Researching and writing this paper has been a feast for the intellect and a joyful endeavor. Thank you again for sponsoring such an excellent contest. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to participate."
"I am sincerely grateful for your endeavor to bring Orestes Brownson back into public discourse. We certainly need more of that."

In 2026, we are committed to "more of that." We intend to get many more university students reading Brownson and entering the essay contest. We will be grateful for whatever you can spare to help cover the $20,000 cost of the contest.
