Residential College In Arts & Humanities
The Residential College in Arts and Humanities (RCAH) is a new residential college at Michigan State University in East Lansing Michigan, U.S. Founded October 21, 2005, the college provides around 600 undergraduates (150 students per undergraduate class) with an individualized curriculum in the liberal, visual, and performing arts. Though all the students in the program will graduate with the same degree, only the first year programs and MSU prerequisites are mandatory for graduation. The college encourages its students to get a second degree or specialization in a program outside RCAH. The new college is MSU's fourth residential college, after James Madison College (from which it drew several faculty members, including its Dean Stephen L. Esquith), the Lyman Briggs School, and the now-defunct Justin Morrill College. Although early proposals named the college after Nelson Mandela, university officials have not decided on a permanent name as of 2006, saying that it is still too early to fix a permanent name to the college.

“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Overconcentration on any one point is a distortion.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
