DESCRIPTION OF HILLSDALE COLLEGE:
(From www.Hillsdale.edu): Hillsdale College, founded in 1844, is an independent, coeducational, residential college for about 1,200 students. Its four-year curriculum leads to the degree of bachelor of arts or bachelor of science. It is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, included on the approved lists of leading universities for transfer and graduate studies, and a member of the Association of American Colleges and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
Hillsdale has traditionally upheld two concepts: academic excellence and institutional independence. The College does not solicit or accept federal monies for its operations. This has set it free to offer a unique kind of education. Hillsdale College proudly adheres to the non-discriminatory policy regarding race, religion, sex and national or ethnic origin that it has maintained since 1844, long before governments found it necessary to regulate such matters.
Hillsdale College is an independent, nonsectarian institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women "grateful to God for the inestimable blessings" resulting from civil and religious liberty and "believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings." It pursues the stated object of the founders: "to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary and scientific education" outstanding among American colleges and to combine with this such "moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils."
The College considers itself a trustee of modern man's intellectual and spiritual inheritance from the Judeo-Christian faith and Greco-Roman culture, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
