My sister is loving every minute at Hillsdale. She’s a Russel Kirk fellow, interning at the ethics ceter at Notre Dame. Met Annette Kirk and Alice Von Hildebrand. Larry Arndt is the best thing to happen to that school.
Dr. Kirk was one of my intellectual mentors. He was a real pleasure. I even namd my YAF chapter after him.
Dr. Arnn is building on what Dr. Roche put in plcae and expanding it in exciting ne ways.
The best nichol I ever spent. I sent my son there. Great school, great valuse and a pleasant admosphere. Anc Captian Arn is a hoot. He is a funny guy.
Bright points of light in the gathering gloom: Hillsdale College and the others like it, Rush Limbaugh, real Christians, real Jews, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Canada Free Press, Mark Steyn, Thomas Sowell, Geert Wilders, Paul Johnson, Lord Monckton, Chris Christie, Joe Wilson, the KGB defectors who wrote about the plan, and the immigrants who fled Communism only to face it here and warn us.
Y’all must still be on your first cup of coffee. :-)
Your son is quite fortunate.

As am I to have him go there. What college has a football coach invite all the senior football players over to HIS house for dinner?
We tailgated at MSU for 13 years till my son went to college. Now it is a nightmare getting in and out. And the fees are really bad. Not Hillsdale. Pull in set up, $5.00 to park. When you are done just drive off. Since my son played our tickets were free. And pleanty of room in the stadium. OH and drive out of Hillsdale at midnight and see deer. EVERY time!
My faculty advisor used to hvae all his freshman advisees to his house for dinner within their first week there.

Michigan is blessed. Every state should have a Hillsdale.
Hell, 10 Hillsdales.

Amazing place. First thing the football coach told the boys. “You will graduate in 4 years” LOL
You might enjoy this: the Hillsdale College Choir (of which I am a onetime member) sings the Alma Mater:

Hillsdale serves much the same purpose as the early medieval monastery, an island of civilization in a sea of barbarism.
Yes, and the epicenter of that barbarism is a hundred or so miles to the east.
