5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Curtis Performance Hall, Tsotsis Family Academic Center

Dr. Daniel Mandell (Professor Emeritus of History, Truman State University) will examine politics, theology, economics, law, and literature in an analysis of how the Founding generation of the United States feared that concentrated wealth would corrupt their republic.

Please join us in Curtis Performance Hall (Tsotsis Family Academic Center) at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 19. A reception will follow Dr. Mandell’s lecture.

Sponsored by the Office of the President, the Department of History, and Assumption’s semiquincentennial committee, this is the first event in the Striving for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness: 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence series.
