What does it mean to be a good citizen? What skills, character traits, and knowledge are important to develop? How should they be instilled in students? As the nation celebrates its 250th birthday, find out how Girard College has explored these questions over the past two centuries. This temporary exhibit draws on a wide range of archival resources, from curricular guides to student newspapers and protest signs.
