About Shimer College
Shimer College, a unique institution in the landscape of higher education, was founded in 1853 by Frances Wood Shimer and Cinderella Gregory under the name Mt. Carroll Seminary in Mount Carroll, Illinois. It has since undergone several metamorphoses, becoming a coeducational junior college in 1896, and later changing its name to Shimer College. The college is renowned for its Great Books curriculum, a distinctive program where students engage deeply with foundational texts of Western civilization across various disciplines. In 2017, Shimer College became The Shimer Great Books School at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, continuing to offer its rigorous educational experience within a larger institution. This move placed Shimer within the vibrant Chicago metropolitan area, allowing for greater opportunities and resources for its students and staff.
The educators at Shimer, commonly referred to as "facilitators" or tutors, rather than professors, are a crucial part of this tight-knit academic community. They are known for fostering a Socratic learning environment where the free exchange of ideas is highly valued. The classes are seminars in which everyone, including tutors, participates in discussions rather than lectures, embodying the school's motto, "Non Ministrari sed Ministrare" - "Not to be served, but to serve". While Shimer College boasts a variety of distinguished tutors, the school is also characterized by its small size, with typically fewer than 200 students at any given time, which creates a personalized and intensive educational journey.
Among Shimer College's prominent alumni are Daniel Perlman, a former mayor of the college's historic host city Mount Carroll, and author Peter Cooley. The college's legacy is marked by its contribution to progressive and critical education, priding itself on the cultivation of free thinkers and active citizens. While Shimer does not field athletic teams and thereby does not have a mascot like many traditional colleges, its spirit is embodied in the rigor and passion of its academic pursuits. Its continuation within North Central College signifies a commitment to the survival and growth of its educational philosophy, making it a beacon for those seeking an education rooted in classical texts and the pursuit of knowledge through dialogue.
