Hail to the Chief

Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.

Created to coincide with the 26 September 2008 presidential debate at the University of Mississippi, the original "Hail to the Chief!" exhibition appeared in the Faulkner Room of the Archives & Special Collections from August 2008 through August 2009. With the exception of eighteen framed presidential portraits, this online digital version duplicates that physical installation. Drawing from holdings throughout Special Collections, the exhibit also features a wide array of general presidential items from George Washington through Bill Clinton.
