<h3><strong>Oaths of Office (A-3)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<strong>"The duty imposed upon him [the president] to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, follows out the strong injunctions of his oath of office, that he will 'preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.' The great object of the executive department is to accomplish this purpose; and without it, be the form of government whatever it may, it will be utterly worthless for offence or defense; for the redress of grievances or the protection of rights; for the happiness, or good order, or safety of the people."<br /><br /></strong>- Joseph Story, <span><span class="small_source_14">(1851). “Commentaries on the constitution of the United States”<br /><br /></span></span>When an individual pledges himself or herself to the oath of office, he or she is affirming a commitment to a set of ideals and obligations transcending themselves. Be it an oath to provide equal opportunity to students, to ensure public safety, to treat everyone with compassion, or to uphold the duties of public office, oaths of office are meant to symbolize the individual's ascendance to a higher cause. The individual is acknowledging that he or she is not loyal to an appointee or a figure of power, but rather an intangible spirit to protect the public from a government distorted by private whims and interest. The oath of office is meant to convey that the individual is in service to the public, because the public represents the common good of society. An oath is also not just an affirmation to the loyalty of the public, but also a pledge to exceed the requirements of his or her position. The oath is a promise to fulfill the duties of a position, but also to be the strongest representative one can be for the general public. When oaths are disregarded, the public suffers as well.<br /><br />In the following gallery, you will see oaths from all sectors of society, including school boards, police departments, fire departments, emergency medical services, human resource organizations, and elected officials. The commonality of an oath of office across differing positions underscores the country's understanding that a public position is not one to be taken lightly, but with the utmost seriousness and dedication. Without oaths, our understanding of what it means to serve the people risks decay and ultimately non-existence.

<h3><strong>Civic Architecture and Public Works (A-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"What vast additions to the conveniences and comforts of living might mankind have acquired, if the money spent in wars had been employed in works of public utility; what an extension of agriculture even to the tops of our mountains; what rivers rendered navigable, or joined by canals; what bridges, aqueducts, new roads, and other public works, edifices, and improvements might not have been obtained by spending those millions in doing good, which in the last war have been spent in doing mischief." </strong></em>- Benjamin Franklin</p>
<p>“Public works” entails a broad array of improvement projects, inlcuding development and maintenance of public utilities, bridges and roadways, parks, airports, municipal buildings, communication networks, and many other physical and virtual assets. <br /><br />These are essential to the conduct of society, as many of the forces that impact our lives on a day-to-day basis are impacted by public works. However, these services and infrastructure are so often used that they blend into the background fabric of life, and individuals may not recognize the centrality of the public sector in the provision of these necessities.<br /><br />Public works professionals include laborers, technicians, craftsmen, engineers, and administrators. During the Great Depression, public works provided jobs and a morale boost for Americans, while helping build many key structures and facilities still vital to the country’s modern infrastructure.</p>
Civic architecture defines public institutions and venues as focal points in the landscape of cities, towns and villages. In your mind, picture a city hall, a bandshell, a hospital, a library, a memorial or monument. Envision your favorite parks, schools and universities. These institutions and sites are sources of great community pride, in part due to their architectural magnificence. <br /><br />In many cases, civic architecture is designed to ensure that public venues can accommodate large numbers of the public, to facilitate meaningful interaction between the public and with government. Public venues also serve an important local economic purpose by supporting cultural entertainment, festivals, farmer’s markets, and small business and entrepreneurial activities.<br /><br />The items in the <em>Civic Architecture and Public Works </em>gallery illuminate the presence of public service in our daily activities as well as less signficant moments, both individual and societal. As you review these items, we invite you to consider how the places you frequent and the infrastructure you use is possible because of the public sector.
