Back came an answer: "Dear Gdenn: “I like Columbja very much, al though when I waa attending school myself there were many times when I w’ould have much rather stayed home. , “Ij appreciate how you feel, too, but most certainly you must make every effort to excel in your school work, to be quick in your obed ience and to be rieat—if you ever hope to amount to anything in any field. Does that answer your ques tion?” Sincerely, Dwight D. Eisenhower.” enri’s parents said he plunged bis studies yesterday with mor ? zeal than ever before.
