...former West Point cadet" named Dwight Eisenhower sent congratulations to a Dickinson College freshman in Carlisle, Pa. Ike was tickled to learn that Colin P. Kelly III, 19, son of the World War II hero killed on a Philippines bombing mission three days after Pearl Harbor, had won an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, strictly on his own. The surefire way for "Corky" Kelly to enter the Point: accept an appointment by Ike, pursuant to a request made in 1941 by Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter addressed "to the President of the U.S. in 1956." Young Kelly instead...
...students who roll into town boasting of new driving endurance records -26 hours from Ohio State, 27 from Carlisle, Pa.'s Dickinson College-are too buoyant and too broke to worry about being shut out of hotspots.

Said the White House last week: Colin P. Kelly III, 18, a student at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., has not yet decided whether he will take an appointment, although President Eisenhower is ready to follow the boy's wishes...
...Greg's best known books. And Coombs, a dour and melancholy man who got his final promotion on the strength of a book he never managed to finish, said bluntly that it was just a sentimental gesture on the part of two overly earnest young men. After a silence, Dickinson, who had once been a student of Greg, spoke. He said quite wistfully that he wished he had been able to emulate Greg. Then with some acidity he added that there could be no question of denying Greg the honor. No one else asked to speak. Professor Briggs, after surveying...
