One hundred years ago today, Richard M. Nixon was born. His birthday is being celebrated in Washington and through news accounts, such as this one in our local paper:

. We on campus celebrate our most famous alumnus in a number of ways, but most significantly through our annual Richard M. Nixon Fellowship competition, awarding talented students a stipend to undertake an internship or a research project anywhere in the world. I can think of no better way to continue the President’s legacy than to inspire young people to explore careers in public service.
