Jeffrey O. Nelson writes an obituary for E. Victor Milione:

[J]ust about every conservative younger than 65 has been shaped and influenced by him. Ironically, it was Milione’s tenacious and decades-long resistance to the thorough politicization of conservatism that accounts for both his relative anonymity and his pervasive impact.
Vic Milione was the principal architect and embodiment of an enormously influential educational institution: the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI). He was part teacher and part evangelist. His campus was America. His potential student body: all undergraduate and graduate students interested in first principles, in the ideas and institutions that shaped the West and are indispensable for free societies to flourish. Counted among those forever shaped by his labors are U.S. senators, congressmen, cabinet officers, justices, foundation heads and staffers, editors and publishers, journalists and public intellectuals, philanthropists, business and religious leaders, and teachers at every level.
