Charter Day: The Meaning of Paper
Charter Day: The Meaning of Paper

Paper can be a foundation. It can contain the first inklings of an institution like no other. It can show us a place to come together over centuries to create something incredible — something bold. It tells us where we come from, and gives us inspiration to seek out where we’re going. Today, we celebrate paper and the people who believe in it. Charter Day 2017
