[Mises] stimulated the interest, and then the understanding of all the people he met. And he did even more. He stimulated them to action ... Think of Leonard Read, the late founder of the Foundation for Economic Education ... Out of his foundation came great men like Baldy Harper ... and George Roche, who is now president of Hillsdale College, which shelters the Ludwig von Mises Library, and who heads his own Shavano Institute in Colorado, never asking for help from the government.

Based on my articles, 1967-71, [Leonard] Read hired me in 1971 to replace George Roche. Roche had just been appointed president of Hillsdale College. [Roche] immediately hired Lew Rockwell to imitate Poirot's strategy, using a newsletter, Imprimis, as a Freeman substitute: a free publication used to generate donations. It became the most financially successful newsletter in history, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for a college whose faculty was not as committed to the free market as Imprimis was.
