ACTA congratulates Presidential Citizens Medal recipients
We at ACTA extend our warmest congratulations to two friends: James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, and Professor Robert George of Princeton, the first recipient of the Philip Merrill Award for Outstanding Contributions to Liberal Arts Education. Both were honored yesterday with the Presidential Citizens Medal, which recognizes U.S. citizens who have "performed exemplary deeds or services for [their] country or fellow citizens." Certainly both have. Mr. Billington, in his role at the Library of Congress, has fought to protect and promote American history. At Princeton, Professor George has been a staunch defender of the teaching of Western civilization through the Madison Program, which has been a model for oases of excellence across the country.
