Abstract	Although there is no end of ethics courses offered at colleges and universities, many believe that neither the professoriate nor their institutional leaders has ever been collectively and authentically committed to shaping the moral formation of students. A considerable literature has emerged over the last decade alleging a widespread "subclinical" narcissism among millennials, that is, a literature referring to a range of narcissistic-like traits or behaviors that do not meet the threshold of a diagnosis of pathological narcissism but are nevertheless worrisome. While not everyone accepts these characterizations, this article is hardly alone in taking the trend seriously and especially wondering whether university faculty might be contributing to or even encouraging it. This article comments on these worries and suggest ways that the professoriate, rather than university leadership, might best advance the cause of humility. Many of the author's observations are anecdotal and draw on over 40 years of experience as a faculty member at various colleges and universities. (ERIC).
