 In
compliance with language inserted by Senator Robert C. Byrd
into a 2005 federal spending bill requiring educational
institutions that receive federal funds to hold programs
about the United States Constitution on or near the
September 17th anniversary of the document’s signing,
Marshall University held its second annual “Celebration of
the Constitution Week.” The program, running from September
18 to September 21, 2006 included a number of activities
held on campus for the edification and entertainment of both
