By Tope Farotimi | September 30, 2009The Civility Project, a collaborative effort between The Papers of George Washington and the Civility Project Committee, is moving forward in its effort to revise George Washington's "Copy of Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation" for use in the 21st century. Washington's document consists of 110 rules of conduct that the first president copied down when he was only 16 years old and by which he lived thereafter.
