-With the intent of broadening the scope of campus culture and social life, the early members of The Mill (which included representatives from [[fraternities|Psi U]], the baseball team, [[fred_pfeil_community_project_the_fred|The Fred]], and many other campus groups) envisioned a social outlet that would strive to achieve social unification and inclusion. The Mill was decidedly “not an ‘alternative’ social outlet,” but “more like a culmination of all social alternatives.” Its founding was lauded by one contributor to the //[[tripod|Trinity Tripod]]// in February 2009, who proposed that The Mill could be the solution to campus-wide contention over what many viewed as a volatile social atmosphere that relied too heavily on Greek life as a source of connection. In the view of the columnist, the Mill’s dedication to “providing an unmediated outlet for creativity and social interaction” is its most generative quality as a fixture of Trinity’s social life.+With the intent of broadening the scope of campus culture and social life, the early members of The Mill (which included representatives from [[fraternities|Psi U]], the [[athletics|baseball]] team, [[fred_pfeil_community_project_the_fred|The Fred]], and many other campus groups) envisioned a social outlet that would strive to achieve social unification and inclusion.

 Since its founding, a large part of The Mill’s work has gone towards putting on live concerts for the enjoyment of students. The first concert hosted at the Mill’s indoor performance space took place on October 27, 2009, though this was the fourth concert The Mill had sponsored since its founding. The show was headlined by two indie rock bands: Los Angeles’ Rumspringa, and Brooklyn group Bear Hands. The show was a success among students who attended, bringing new life to Vernon Street’s social scene and sparking excitement for future musical events on campus. The Mill has hosted the annual Fall Concert at its well-equipped Vernon St. venue since 2009. Since its founding, a large part of The Mill’s work has gone towards putting on live concerts for the enjoyment of students.
