Hillsdale College has put together a series on The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution. It is presented by its president, Larry Arnn. The first talk is on YouTube and can be watched below. The full series is available at this site. Read more about Hillsdale below this video.
From Hillsdale’s website comes the following:
Founded in 1844, Hillsdale College is an independent, coeducational, residential, liberal arts college with a student body of about 1,400. Its four-year curriculum leads to the bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree, and it is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Hillsdale’s educational mission rests upon two principles: academic excellence and institutional independence. The College does not accept federal or state taxpayer subsidies for any of its operations.
Located in rural southern Michigan, the nearly 200-acre Hillsdale campus includes both modern and historic buildings. Excellent facilities include comfortable residence halls, subject-specific computer labs, a state-of-the-art health education and sports complex, Michael Alex Mossey Library with its Leighton-Taylor Wing, the Sage Center for the Arts, the Herbert Henry Dow Science Building, Howard Music Hall and two new classroom buildings—Kendall Hall and Lane Hall. Adjacent to the campus is the model primary and secondary school, Hillsdale Academy, whose comprehensive Reference Guide is used in hundreds of schools throughout the country.
There is much more to know about this unique college. Here are but a few things:
- Hillsdale is the bastion of classical liberalism among colleges. As a result it has attracted numerous speakers who adhere to that philosophy, including President Reagan.
- Ludwig von Mises’ personal library was donated to Hillsdale.
- The college has never taken a penny of government funds.
