Scalia keynotes Madison conference            Madison   U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will be the keynote speaker at a conference Thursday and Friday, Feb. 22 and 23, on James Madison. Scalia will speak at 8 p.m. Feb. 23 on "James Madison's Constitutional Interpretation." The conference, titled "A Constitution for the Ages: James Madison the Framer," celebrates both the 250th anniversary of Madison's birthday and the centennial of Princeton's Graduate School. Madison, the fourth president of the United States, is believed to be Princeton's first graduate student in a field other than theology. He stayed on after his graduation in 1771 to study Hebrew and ethics. He often is called "the father of the Constitution" as well as of the Bill of Rights. The conference will bring Madison scholars from across the country to Princeton to address such topics as "Was James Madison Really the Founding Father of the CIA?" and "James Madison and Constitutionalism." The event has been planned as a lead-in to Alumni Day activities on Saturday, Feb. 24.
