MILTON S. EISENHOWER DISTINGUISHED VISITING PROFESSORSHIP IN PUBLIC POLICY
Established in 1985 by an anonymous donor in honor of Milton S. Eisenhower
MILTON S. EISENHOWER, widely regarded as a leader of great vision, holds the distinction of having served two nonconsecutive terms as president of the Johns Hopkins University. After serving from 1956 to 1967--a period in which the University's income tripled and the endowment doubled--he retired and was named president emeritus. During his tenure, the medical institutions underwent major expansion and a new library and athletic center were added at Homewood. He returned to the presidency again, in 1971-72, and is credited with restoring a sense of unity to the University. The youngest brother of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Milton Eisenhower died in 1985.
