Dickinson Votes!
Dr. Benjamin Rush founded Dickinson
College with a grand, yet pragmatic goal: He hoped to prepare
promising students to become leaders in the newly chartered United
States. This was a tall order in 1783 America, a fledgling nation
in the wake of the Revolutionary War. Bold revolutionaries such as
Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and John
Dickinson, a signer of the United States Constitution, laid the
foundation for the new democracy; the next generation of Americans
would need to further these democratic ideals in the New World.
Dickinson College was founded to meet this noble goal.
