Mission and Vision

The Lindsay-Crane Center for Writing and Literature is named for two poets who had close ties to Northeast Ohio.  Nicholas Vachel Lindsay attended Hiram College from 1897 to 1900, and Harold Hart Crane was born in nearby Garrettsville.  The Lindsay-Crane Center offers special opportunities for Hiram College writers and readers.  The Center mounts majors in Writing and English, implements the College’s Writing Across the Curriculum program (one of the oldest in the nation), and vigorously supports the importance of a liberal education in the 21st century.  In addition, it offers students, community members, and other friends of the College a wide range of rich experiences outside the classroom that contribute to intellectual and artistic pleasure and growth, and maintains a deep commitment to interdisciplinary ventures with other departments and Centers.
