Historic place

Approximately 20 individuals came to the Hilltop Campus recently as part of the 100th-anniversary celebration of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS). Among the visitors were David L. Biddulph (left), an NASS corporate affiliate, speaking with Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton after the unveiling of a plaque (background, above) in Brookings Hall. The marker reads: “The National Association of Secretaries of State, the oldest association of public officials in the United States, was founded on this site 28 September 1904, during the St. Louis World’s Fair. Dedicated in honor of the NASS Centennial Celebration.”
