Included are materials relating to key CSDI programs and events such as Pacem in Terris and Pacem in Maribus, as well as prominent CSDI leaders Robert M. Hutchins, Harry S. Ashmore, Frank K. Kelly, and Walter Capps.

The exhibit is located on the third floor of the Davidson Library and runs from March 1st through May 31st. Hours are 9-8 Monday through Thursday, 9-5 Friday, and 1-5 Saturday and Sunday. (Recess schedule from March 21st to 29th: closed on March 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 28th, and 29th, open 9-5 from March 24th to 27th.)
