Gadfly
is an independent journal of Philosophy,Politics, and Economics at The King’s College, NewYork City. Through a combination of elevated dis-course and incisive journalism, we hope to inspire,and when necessary goad, the students and faculty of the Col-lege to insightful scholarship. To that end, we are committed to-ward critical engagement, journalistic integrity, academicexcellence, and Socratic inquiry.
Crtcal ngagmnt.
By publishing insightful commen-tary and elegant prose, we will embody the culture we wish toinhabit, and so foreshadow the seeming impossibility of a Chris-tian liberal arts college that rivals the Ivy League.
 Jrnalstc ntgrty.
 We hold our contributors to rigor-ous standards of ethics, thoroughly checking their submissionsfor accuracy, and thus taking care to protect the reputations of our authors, editors, and advisors.
 Acamc xcllnc.
 We are zealous for excellence in oureducation, and that means we advocate rigor within and withoutthe classroom. We love a challenge, and we love anyone whoshares that passion. Academic seriousness should be the founda-tion of our common identity, and it is the focal point of muchof the
Gadfly
’s commentary. We take theology seriously and allowthe Gospel to inform our political and economic thought.
Scratc nqry.
“The unexamined life is not worth liv-ing.” In the tradition of Socrates, we will follow the facts wherethey lead. In our constant examination of our community life,we will be a gadfly to The King’s College even as Socrates wasto Athens—though, we hope, with better results.
 W
ere it not for our love of this institution, youwould not be reading this now. Many late nightsand long hours were invested in the pages be-fore you, all out of a desire to call The King’sCollege to the fullest realization of its audacious vision. Untilthat vision comes to pass, the
Gadfly
will remain committed topestering, prodding, provoking, and cajoling students, faculty,and staff to “live lives worthy of the calling with which they havebeen called,” and thereby to be a force for change in the strategicinstitutions of our nation and world.
