institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women \u201cgrateful to God for the inestimable blessings\u201d resulting from civil and religious liberty and \u201cbelieving that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.\u201d It pursues the stated object of the founders: \u201cto furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education\u201d outstanding among American colleges \u201cand to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.\u201d As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains \u201cby precept and example\u201d the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, 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.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mar 5, 2020 Hillsdale College Adam Andrzejewski is the founder and CEO of openthebooks.com, the world&#8217;s largest database of public sector spending, whether at the federal, state, or local level.
