Douglas Cornell resigned from his position as Executive Officer of the National Academy of Sciences to become the school's president.[3][4] The MRA deeded its headquarters on the island and the Old Mission House, to Mackinac College.[5] The first class was admitted in 1966 and consisted of 113 students.[6] During its operations, Mackinac College had a liberal arts focus (unlike the MRA's College of the Good Road which focused on teaching ideology of the MRA), and joined in with the "radical critique of traditional higher education" which was happening in the 1960s, although the MRA was generally strongly opposed to most of the ideals of the 1960s counter culture.[2] Students participated in the creation of the curriculum,[11] but were not allowed to date.[12] The school closed in 1970, four years after opening.[7] The American School Board Journal cited the reasons for the closure as being "familiar": the high costs of setting up the campus and programs, a smaller enrollment than planned and a lack of alumni to fund endowments.[8] After closing, the campus was sold to Rex Humbard who reopened it in 1972 as a bible college under the same name.[9] The campus was later turned into a hotel, Mission Point Resort.[10] References1. ^{{cite book|title=The Blue Book of College Athletics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5IMkAQAAIAAJ|year=1968|publisher=Rohrich Corporation}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|last=Sack|first=Daniel|title=Moral Re-Armament|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ia2_AAAAQBAJ&pg=PA183|accessdate=31 January 2014|date=2009-12-08|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=9780312293277|pages=183–186; 219}} 3. ^{{Citation |author= |publication-date=October 31, 1965 |title=Susan F.
