In 1844 a group of Freewill Baptists organized Michigan Central College at Spring Arbor. This college was the first in Michigan to grant degrees to women. Moved to Hillsdale in 1853 and chartered by the legislature in 1855, the school was renamed Hillsdale College under an independent board of trustees, its only controlling organization. The charter opened the institution "to all persons ... irrespective of nationality, color, or sex."

"Roche resigned in late 1999, following the scandal surrounding the suicide of his son's wife, Lissa Jackson Roche, who was found shot dead in the college arboretum. Ms. Roche had stated that she and her father-in-law had been engaged in a 19 year long sexual affair. On October 17, 1999, she said that she had engaged in a 19-year on-and-off sexual affair with him. She fatally shot herself at the Slayton Arboretum on campus with a .38-caliber handgun from her husband's gun cabinet. Married to Roche's son, known as Roche IV, Jackson Roche was employed by Hillsdale as the Managing Editor of Imprimis and Hillsdale College Press."

Where are the archives for this talk page?

Every now and then Lowercase sigmabot III archives older discussions, currently into Archive 2. But there is no listing or mention of archives in the yellow section at the top of this talk page. Where are they? Milkunderwood (talk) 21:46, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Source for claim that "nearly 80% of the colleges founded before the Civil War were forced to close."?

It seems implausible to me that this is true, and google and ChatGPT find only mention of some such closures, mostly in the South.

"Hillsdale survived while nearly 80% of the colleges founded before the Civil War were forced to close." 2601:18D:8902:7F30:A493:5C05:383A:4D0B (talk) 11:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
