Students Approve
College's Choice
Of Eisenhower
Appointment of Milton S.
Eisenhower as president of the
College found widespread stu
dent approval when. announced
last Jan. 21.
A one-day visit by the Presi
dent-elect on Feb. 28 brought an
even more favorable student re
sponse as, for the first time, the
student• body met its new chief
in person. On both occasions;
students - and student leaders
seemed elated both by the ap
pointment of a president after a
two-year vacancy, .and by the
character and reputation of the
man appointed.
Student interviews were key
noted .by such phrases as, "One
of the best things that ever hap
pened to the college." "He'll be
a good man." "Eisenhower will
do a lot to help the College ad
vance" and "Thank God we have
a President at last!" •
When the new President made
his first visit to the campus, he
met most of the student govern
ment leaders. All of them were
impressed. All-College President
.Ted Allen said,, "I was very
pleased with meeting Did. Eisen
hower. He will be a wonderful
President to work with and I am
Sure that he is anxious to see
student government continue to
work in cooperation with the ad
ministration."
President Eisenhower's appar
ent interest in stt;„ - lent affairs was
commented on by several other
leaders. James MacCallum, All-
College secretary-treasurer said,
"I was quite impressed with his
friendliness a n d his attitude
toward student government. He
will take a great interest in stu
dent activities."
Others commented on Presi
dent Eisenhower's sincerity, sense
of humor, and quality of leader
ship. Most predicted a bright fu
ture for the new administration.
But the best summary of stu
dent reaction came from an un
named coed. Of the new presi
dent - she sinv,ly said, "He's a
good Joe."
