Mr. Gaiser, I disagree with the argument of your recent article “Choose Good Principles, not Good Men.” Your fundamental belief — unless I’ve misread you — is that man need only believe in the right principles and all will be well. I would argue that we need good principles, yes, but these principles need great men to have any value.

Here in Hillsdale, a great many of us think ourselves pretty good about asking the “why” questions. We all need to remember a few things, though.

One of the most beautiful aspects of Hillsdale College is that learned conversation takes place both inside and outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, in many instances the educative value of our collegiate discussion is lost because of the strong opinions of the participants that can verge on doctrinarism.

The homeless in New York City aren’t eating enough fiber.

This week the Collegian editors are feeling nostalgic. Indulge us, if you will, in a quick flashback.
