Stephenson Institute Ribbon Cutting Event

Established in 2021, the Stephenson Institute for Classical Liberalism is a non-partisan, academic resource center. They provide teaching, learning, and research opportunities for motivated students and faculty at Wabash College and beyond who share an interest in the operations and implications of a free society. On May 10th, we had the privilege of attending the Stephenson Institute for a ribbon cutting, showcasing their new home on campus. This was followed by a lunch for all of those in attendance. In addition to the celebration, we brought over 30 historical books and documents from our 1600+ work collection. Attendees were able to interact and engage with the books hands-on during the event. Thank you again to the Stephenson Institute for having us out on such a special day. We greatly admire your dedication to emphasizing the importance of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and intellectual history.
