"The Athenian Oath and Political Leadership in America"


"We will transmit this City ... greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us."  The Athenian Oath is etched in stone in Maxwell Hall. As Mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter swore allegiance to the Oath, and had it inscribed on the back of his business card. In his Tanner Lecture, Mayor Nutter will reflect on the values of the Oath and the state of political leadership in America. 

Reception to follow.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
