Heard around Campus: On the Intent of the Framers of the Constitution...
"We the people took precedent. We came before the president, the congress, the supreme courts or, for that matter, the delegates themselves. The Bill of Rights was designed to protect each individual citizen from government abuse. It was no coincidence that the separation of church and state was the first among equals. This was a specific intent of the Founding Fathers."
— C.V. Starr Fellow Senator Birch Bayh on "Church and State: 18th-Century Principles, 21st-Century Politics," January 30 in the College's Tawes Theatre.
