Mullfoto of the Day

Dr. Robert Hill, Professor Emeritus of Polical Science, Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio 45750

If you missed my paean to Dr. Hill during my remarks accepting my installation into the MC Alumni Hall of Honor, here's the section that dealt with him:

"Perhaps the most important classes I took were Constitutional Law from Dr. Robert Hill. Beyond Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland, Dr. Hill taught us that the Constitution is the rule book - something occasionally forgotten by the First and Second Article branches of our government in Washington.

"Just the other night someone was talking about how we needed to reduce the salary of every member of the U.S. House and Senate until they stopped the shut-down. I said that would be a good idea were it not for that pesky 27th Amendment.

"Thank you, Dr. Hill, for providing debating points for me while on CNN."

[Dr. Hill, now 87, was in the audience. When I spotted him I pointed him out and he got a warm, well-deserved, round of applause]
