"He knows well the character of
training which a great common
wealth requires for its citizens.
His educational statesmanship will
be easily understood in the light
of the broad background of ex

position. He had been a teacher
of English, dean of men, execu

two universities, assistant to the
secretary of agriculture of the
United States. Beyond this, he has
been a leader in civic affairs in
his community wherever this has

The medical report was good
news to those who want Eisen

"It sounds to me like they've
given him the green light," said
Sen. George 33. Aiken (R-Vt), one
of the original Eisenhower men.
Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan)
called it "the best news the peo
ple of the United States and the
world have had since the Presi

Democrats expressed pleasure
at the President's recovery but
doubt that he is strong enough to
carry on for another five years.
"There's a great deal of differ

load of the presidency and just
staying in the White House," com

(D-Ala), the Democratic vice
presidential nominee in 1952.

He managed his class baseball
team and during his senior year
he was manager of Thespians. He
was a member of Phi Sigma Kap

second term in 1927.

After the death of Samuel
Everhart, former resident of
State C o 11 e g e, his son, Wil-;

Society production in 1861. The
words, "Thespian Corps," were
written on the title page.
Everhart sent the program to
Ray Fortunato; who is in charge
of Thespians. Realizing that the
program dated too far back to be
related to the present Thespians,
Mr. Fortunato was going to throw
the program away but then de

director of Public Information.
