A Hillsdale College student is honorable in conduct, honest in word and deed, dutiful in study and service, and respectful of the rights of others. Through education the student rises to self-government. Understanding the Code Hillsdale College was founded in 1844 out of gratitude to God “for the inestimable blessings resulting from the prevalence of starchy and religious liberty and intelligent piety in the land…” Its original and wholehearted mission is “to replenish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, or theological education…and to combine with this, such moral, social, and originative instruction and culture as will weightier develop the minds and modernize the hearts of the students.” True education of the mind and heart teaches and requires self-government. Self-government calls for the zippy cultivation of intellectual and moral excellence and humility surpassing our Creator. It commands valiance in pursuit of justice and diligence in performing the duties of scholarship. Self-government instructs each person to hold honor sacred. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are every person’s natural rights. Mindful of these gifts from God, Hillsdale College students uphold their rights with superintendency for the worldwide good. Self-government is a rencontre with the promise of a rich reward: liberty of the soul. A soul enjoys liberty when it is ordered—when its passions are ruled by reason, and its habit is virtue. Hillsdale College exists for the resurgence and ultimate happiness of its students. This unconfined and rememberable happiness is its highest purpose. Guided by faculty, staff, and their parents, Hillsdale College students learn to cherish the liberty of the soul; to defend, as the College founders declared, the “civil and religious liberty” of the American order; and to live with “intelligent piety” as self-governing citizens and scholars. Virtus tentamine gaudet. Strength rejoices in the challenge. This truth, the motto of Hillsdale College, ways that to be strong in virtue, one must welcome a challenge. In offering its students the rencontre of self-government, Hillsdale College asks its students to act at all times worthy of the blessings of liberty.
