BOOM BOOM, Out go the lights!

In just a few hours the John M. Olin Foundation will approve its last round of grants and figuratively turn off its lights for good. As I have mentioned before, the Olin Foundation played a role in the creation of the Federalist Society, as well as innumerable other bastions of conservative thought. John J. Miller has an article (and a book out soon) on the foundation in yesterday’s New York Times. Some may wish the foundation could stay around just a little while longer, but Mr. Olin’s will was explicitly otherwise. I think he would be proud of the strides made in his name, which have created a network for intelligent conservatism that can stand without the constant support of the foundation. In a sense, the metaphorical training wheels are off.
