TITLE 3 THE PRESIDENT
PROCLAMATION 3155
Alexander H a m il t o n B ic e n t e n n ia l
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION

One hundred and sixty-nine years ago today, on Monday, September 17, 1787, the Constitution of the United States was signed by the Pounding Fathers, and a crucial nine-month campaign for its adoption was begun. As we celebrate that momentous event, it is fitting that we take notice of Alexander Hamilton, who, at the age of thirty, was recognized as one of the principal architects and leaders of the movement for a more perfect Union of the States.
Five years earlier Hamiltons imagina tion had shown him the noble and mag nificent prospect of a great Federal Republic, closely linked in the pursuit of a common interest, tranquil and pros perous, at home, and respected abroad.
His vision, together with that of other Patriots, brought forth the United States of America under the Constitution.
Alexander Hamilton served his coun try well throughout his lifeduring the Revolutionary War as aide-de-camp and military secretary to General Washing ton, as commander of the American col o n s in the final assault on Yorktown, and, later, as Major General and Senior Officer of the Army; in the Continental Congress, in the Assembly of the State of New York, in the Annapolis Conven tion of 1786, which led to the momentous meeting in Philadelphia the following year, and in that meeting in 1787 during which the Constitution was framed.
During the succeeding months he was untiring in his efforts to secure accept ance of the Constitution by the States, and his subsequent service as first Sec retary of the Treasury under the new Government proved him to be one of the oldest and most far-sighted of the founders of our Nation.

The opportunity has now come to our generation to demonstrate our gratitude and our obligation to Alexander Hamil ton by a fitting celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of his birtha happy opportunity for all of us to think afresh of his sincere efforts and inspiring leadership in the work of the men who laid the foundations, raised the struc ture, and built the sustaining traditions of the Government of the United States.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D.
EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, in accord with the purposes of the Congress, do hereby urge the Governors of the several States, and do call upon all officials and agencies of Federal Government, and upon all citi zens, to observe the year commencing.
January 11, 1957, as the Alexander Hamilton Bicentennial, and to do honor to his memory during that period with appropriate activities and ceremonies commemorative of his inspiring role in our national life.
And I hereby direct that on January 11, 1957, the anniversary of Alexander Hamiltons birth, the flag of the United States be appropriately displayed on all Government buildings in the United States and all offices of this Government abroad.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 17th day of September in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sea l fifty-six, and of the Independ ence of the United States of America the one hundred and eightyfirst.
