A copy of the proposal for The 5th Avenue Magazine by Chris Seekings.

The objective of The 5th Avenue magazine is create and manage a team open to all of our students, guided by faculty, that will focus on Central Catholic student life and how it relates to our broader community and faith.

With a blend of history, modern campus life, and the creative works of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni we will take readers on in-depth journeys, explore issues, educate, create an outlet for creative expression, and challenge us to look at the world around us with a different perspective.

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!….of the questions of these recurring: of the endless trains of the faithless…of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play ‘goes on’ and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
