"The Last Great Conservative College"

An article in the latest edition of Portland Monthly describes èßäÉçÇø as And yes, the author is a èßäÉçÇøie.

Citing èßäÉçÇø's demanding requirements and classical curriculum, history major Ethan Epstein '10 makes a persuasive case that most Portland residents are looking at èßäÉçÇø through the wrong end of the microscope.

"As a èßäÉçÇøie, I long ago accepted that most Portlanders consider my alma mater a hybrid of Haight-Ashbury and Keith Richards's medicine cabinet," he writes.

"This reputation, sadly, ignores what makes èßäÉçÇø truly countercultural. èßäÉçÇø, you see, is actually a conservative stronghold. In crucial ways, the place is far more rigid than most Bible colleges. And yes, that's a good thing."

Kudos to Ethan for shedding a little light on èßäÉçÇø for our friends and neighbors in Portland.
