"James Madison: Father of the Constitution, Father of Football"

Containers:
Flat File 10
Scope and content:

James Madison is universally acknowledged as the Father of the Constitution due to his instrumental role in drafting the Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights. The sign argues that James Madison is also the father of football, a claim likely made due to JMU's dominance in football. Includes drawing of the American flag and the Duke Dog holding a copy of the Bill of Rights with the amendment "JMU shall bowl."
