the classical liberal arts education. Through it, our students are
introduced to the history, the philosophical and theological ideas, the
works of literature, and the scientific discoveries that set Western
Civilization apart. As explained in Hillsdale mission statement, "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".
