Mountains have shaped my life. On a trip to Washington State as a high-school student, I visited Mount Rainier; years later that mountain and its inspiring presence on our campus horizon helped draw me back to the Northwest.
Recently I encountered Maurice Herzog’s controversial Annapurna (1951), which presents his version of the first ascent of the Himalayan mountain. My time as a university chaplain has indelibly linked higher education with the high places of the world, and Annapurna became not a distant adventure but a lens through which to consider our educational enterprise.
