Hillsdaleâs funkiest adventure: The Backpage
The Backpage, usually captioned âMichiganâs funkiest adventureâ (to parody the Collegianâs oft touted phrase âMichiganâs oldest college newspaperâ), housed satirical and comedic articles, images, and recurring bits.

Hillsdale College is known for its strong campus culture, much of which was built by a plethora of shared jokes. From the effects of dining hall food on the digestive system to Hillsdale College PresÂident Larry Arnnâs perÂpetual search for the good to reflecÂtions on the pheÂnomenon of HillsÂdating, no topic is free from attack. Hillsdaleâs culture of satirical wit may have reached its peak in an early 2000s ColÂlegian section called the Backpage.
