"I'm always impressed by the curiosity and diligence of its students, the intellectual firepower of its faculty, and its embrace of independent thinking. Among so many crumbling edifices in higher education, Hillsdale is unique for standing strong in its understanding of how classical teachings and values are the cure for so many contemporary problems in politics, journalism, and beyond."
