for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making. John Milton
In 1975, The Kresge Foundation recognized Hillsdale College for its renewed commitment to the study of the liberal arts with a challenge grant that attracted generous private support. Hillsdale College realized its vision to establish a Center for Traditional Studies, a classroom and facility office building to be constructed on the main campus. Today, these studies flourish in Lane Hall and Kendall Hall. We gratefully acknowledge those who supported construction of the Kresge Center for Traditional Studies. They strengthened a legacy that will continue beyond this day.
