Five Who Will Speak At Inauguration...
Robert Davis
All-College President
Tomorrow Will Be Big Day
For Eisenhower Family
MILTON S. EISENHOWER, President of the College, with his
wife, Helen, and family. Milton S., Jr., 20, is a senior in journalism
at Kansas State college. Ruth. 12, is attending State College high
school.
Tomorrow is a big day in the life of Milton S. Eisenhower's
family—his gracious and homey "first lady," his teen-age daughter
Ruth, and son Milton, Jr., a student at Kansas State college.
Mrs. Eisenhower, who finished her canning just in time to get
the house spit and span for the inauguration, is quietly trying to
keep her husband on an even keel as the former head of Kansas State
College prepares for the invest
ment ceremonies tomorrow.
Dating at 1.9
Born Helen Eakin in Manhat
tan, Kan., Mrs. Eisenhower start
ed dating her husband when she
was 19 and a sophomore at Kan
sas State College. Eisenhower
spent the next two years as vice
consul in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Meanwhile, the Eakin family
moved to Washington, D.C., and
Mrs. Eisenhower received her
A.B. degree. from George Wash
ington university.
As a graduation gift, she was
offered a four-mounth tour • of
Europe. Undecided whether to
travel or get married, she con
sulted her fiance. Eisenhower ad
vised her to go to Europe while
she had the opportunity. They
were married when she returned
from her tour. "I've always been
glad he •advised me to go," Mrs.
Eisenhower says now. "His
UNESCO work took him all over
Europe while I had to stay home
with the family, but because I
had been to the places he visited,
I had a much greater understand
ing of the work he was doing "
Divides Time
"Being a college president's
wife is a two-person job," Mrs.
Eisenhower once overheard her
well-known husband say. She has
to divide her time between being
a housewife and mother and
being ready for any of the duties
File has to fill as the wife of a
man continually in the spotlight.
Mrs. Eisenhower loves to work

Eisenhower Emphasizes
Attaining Five Values .
President Milton S. Eisenhower outlined his philosophy of
education the first time he spoke before an undergraduate audience
at Penn State in his capacity as President.
At a convocation for new students in September, President
Eisenhower stressed five values which he said he hoped students
would acquire during their college years.
He urged development of tech
nical and professional compe
tence, logic and clarity in com
municating ideas to others, un
derstanding of all the fields of
knowledge, soundness of judg
' ment, and a fighting commitment
to the democratic way of life.
In emphasizing the importance
of democracy, President Eisen
hower said he felt that a college
education implies willingness to
work for the improvement of the
democratic system?
He said he believes that no
college can educate the student,
but that the student must use
the facilities and equiisment of
the college to educate himself. He
was convinced that those enter
ing college with this attitude
would evolve into mature,
thoughtful citizens.
Best Wishes .
