OF COUNSEL
Dear Rose:
From a telephone conversation received this morning from Chris
Cross, we understand that you want some additional information on
Whittier College and the Nixon Institution, etc. On the two items on
which you requested information, I can advise you as follows:
1. Enclosed is a copy of the Amended By-Laws which were
adopted by the Board of Trustees and set forth the creation and opera-
tion of the Nixon Institution. As you can see, this is wholly under
the direction of the Board of Trustees of the College.
Yesterday, the Finance Committee met and we have decided and
are recommending to the Executive Committee, which meets Monday, that
there will be one financial operation of the College and not a separate
bank account for the Institution. It is all going to be under our
Treasurer and Controller and the Director of the Institution will be
subject to the same rules and regulations as the President of the College.
This is going to hurt some feelings but we begin to see that a successful
operation requires this.
2. Information concerning the nature, purpose and extent of
the Nixon Institution has not been completed as yet. The Trustees had
requested this information sometime ago but Paul Smith advises us that
the architects have not submitted a rendering of the new building which
we propose on the campus and he has not completed the brochure setting
up the information which we wanted on the Institution. I had a meeting
with John Stauffer at the University Club last week with Paul there,
at which meeting we pressed very hard to have this completed within the
next two weeks or thirty days. As soon as something is available you
can be sure that I will send it to you. I am just as distressed as
anybody that it is taking this long to produce it.
For your information, and I hope you will treat this confi-
dentially, I am having a meeting this afternoon with Paul Smith to
advise him of the necessity for some reorganization and deadlines
on the production of materials. There is much emotion in this, as you
can well understand, but frankly, the success of the Institution and
the College requires first class attention and production and while
I love Paul like a brother, I must take some radical action on the
part of the Trustees this afternoon to insure the success of the project.
I am well aware of how the President feels on these matters and I think
I have the backing of the Board of Trustees and the Finance Committee
in what will possibly transpire this afternoon.
1.
The Executive Committee of the Trustees, which has power to
act, is meeting Monday afternoon and this whole item will be one of
our important suggestions of discussion. I shall call you next week
and give you a personal account of the situation.
This whole process has been slow, but it has been done and
with few crushed feelings or difficulties. We have come out of this
transition with a united faculty and student body with a tremendous
spirit and Dr. Case, the acting President, told me just today that
he has never seen a college with such vigor and new life as there is
on the Whittier Campus. If the President could only sense this I am
sure he would be happy in what is transpiring and what we will come
out with in the next six months.
If this is not the information you wanted, do not hesitate
to call me and we will get anything you want in that regard.
As ever,
Tom

Dear Mr. President:
The College Presidential Selection Committee met yesterday
and selected five candidates to be interviewed. We have received
two hundred twenty-seven (227) nominations. The Executive Committee
has gone over the papers for each of these men and recommended
twelve men for the committee to consider. From the twelve we
selected five outstanding men. The five are designated with a red
dot on the enclosed list. The seven other men are designated with
a green dot. As you can see, the twelve are topflight.
Art Corey and Dr. Connick are now spending two weeks in
the east interviewing the top five. They will report to the com-
mittee and we will evaluate the five from their personal interviews.
The top three men and their wives will be brought to the campus
where they will spend the afternoon with the committee and the
evening at dinner with the Board of Trustees. The following day
will be spent with the faculty and students and the third day with
the Alumni group. After interviewing the top three men and their
wives, the committee will then name the man to be invited to be
President of the College.
We could find only one Quaker, Dr. S. D. Marble, who was
formerly President of Wilmington College, who met our requirements.
Also enclosed is a copy of our Presidential Profile which
we used as a basis for selecting a President and which Profile is
mailed to every candidate. We have had unusually fine comments
on the Profile and some of the comments are enclosed. For instance,
Curtis W. Tarr, Assistant Secretary for the Air Force and one of
your very trusted advisors and who, by the way, is a type of man
Harvard is looking at, says that the Profile is the best he has
ever read.
As ever,
Tom

PRESIDENTIAL PROFILE
It is far easier to determine the qualifications of a college
president than to discover a person who embodies them. Yet
the search for a president should be facilitated by a frank
delineation of the objectives. Any specification list is apt
to be tainted by a touch of idealism and unreality, but these
limitations will melt away when we are confronted with flesh-
and-blood candidates. The characteristics listed below are
in no special order of priority, and they are intended as a
guide for our task and not as principles that imprison.
1. He should be an experienced administrator (such as a
Department Chairman, Dean, Vice-President, President, or
reasonable equivalent) who can choose able associates
and subordinates, assign them clearly-defined roles, and
hold them accountable for quality performances.
2. He should be a proven fund raiser who has the ability
to organize and develop a many-faceted and productive
fund-raising program.
3. He should be an innovative educator, with an earned
doctorate (hopefully a Ph. D.), who has taught at the
college or university level and understands the academic
process.
4. He should be a person of Christian conviction who under-
stands and sympathizes with the Quaker heritage.
5. He should possess the social and communication skills
required to interpret the goals and needs of the College
to its many constituents.
6. He should be n generalist whose grasp of the whole 18 not
restricted by over-specialization.
7. He should be progressive in the sense that he is willing
to change as circumstances change.
8. He should be somewhere in the range of 40 to 55 years of age.
9. He should be in robust physical health.
PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY
A college president need not do everything. He need not, as one
writer has sagely observed, "give a speech at every rise in the
sidewalk." There are some things, however, that he should do if
he is to succeed.
1. He should provide vigorous and imaginative leadership that
will result in unity at the college based upon common pur-
pose, determination, and dedication.
2. He should stimulate the development of academic and fiscal
plans linked to an appropriate time schedule and become per-
sonally involved in the fund-raising program. He should be
the catalytic agent that calls together and activates the
round tables which give the plans birth.
3. He should organize an administration congenial to the
ascension of ideas from students, faculty, alumni, and
trustees through regularized channels of communication.
He should encourage resolution of differences, not by dom-
ination or compromise, but by the discovery of viable altern-
atives which meet the essential conditons of the contesting
parties. He should make each participant feel he is a part
of the process and personally responsible for the enterprise
at hand.
4. He should define and assign the authority and responsibil-
ity of each person, department, division, and committee SO
that each knows precisely where and how he stands. He
should organize the college so that only a few people will
report directly to him.
5. He should surround himself with an able staff and give
them the prestige of their positions.
6. He should play a significant. role in the recruitment of
inculty and
7. He should move with ease among students, faculty, alumni,
and the educational and business communities to advance
the interests of the college.
8. He should encourage the development of volunteer support
programs and provide them with staff services required to
care for routine clerical chores.
INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE, 1969

ity in the continuing development of Whittier College:

a community of teaching and learning

a wide range of social, economic, racial, and religious

"
I congratulate you on the excellent set of evaluative

successor.

Selection Committee is proceeding is most commendable. "
Duane Moon, President

"If you don't mind unsolicited compliments, I should like to
applaud the excellent supporting materials which you distributed
with your letter to President Howard. In fact, your materials
might well serve as a model for presidential search committees
throughout higher education, and I wonder if I might be permitted
to send copies to several friends of mine at other institutions
facing the problem of locating a president. "

George H. Armacost, President

"Obviously, a lot of very thoughtful and hard work went into the

Leonard Hills Crofoot
"You and your colleagues are to be commended for the materials which you
have prepared in your quest for a successor to Paul Smith. When I worked
for the Association of American Colleges I had opportunity to examine the
materials of many Presidential Selection Committees and nowhere did I see
a more succinct and stimulating statement about a job or an institution. 11

President, Ottawa University
"Your letter and its enclosures attest to the clear insight you have not
only for the man you want, but for the place of Whittier in this confus-

As you will note from the attached

on your comeback.
When he called me I put him off with
the excuse that I was very busy just now and asked
him to send a letter telling exactly what it was he
wanted to talk about.
I, personally, would hope that another
writer would do this book but will do whatever you
say about whether I talk with him at all or not.

Dear Rose:
It was good to talk with you today. The book I'm
undertaking will seek to trace President Nixon's comeback
starting in November, 1962, after the California guberna-
torial race, his decision to move to New York, his law
practice and foreign travels and his eventual return to
political activity. What we're dealing with here is
certainly one of the great political comebacks in American
history, and I feel trongly that it be told in a compre-
hensive and objective way. Although much has been written
about Mr. Nixon's activities from 1962 to 1968 in a general
way, there still is remarkably little public awareness of
what he was doing, what was on his mind, who were his friends,
how he spent his time and energies, and finally how he re-
sponded when opportunity once again came his way.
Two things would be most helpful: if I could sit down
with you and simply reminisce about some of those days, and
if you could suggest names of others to whom I should talk
here in Washington, in New York and in California. Our con-
versations would be on whatever basis you would prefer. For
a start, I would be most interested in discussing with you
that first period after the California race, the move to New
York and the problems of settling into a new life and locale.
I'd like to phone you in a week or so, after you've
had a chance to think back to that period a bit. I'm sure
my questions can help provide some focus too.
Best regards,
Jules Jules Witcover

He said at the Chowder & Marching reception the President asked
him to take Gerry Ford to the Bohemian Grove. He has
arranged for an invitation to Gerry Ford to come from the
Board of Directors of the Club and then they will get him in
to the Cave Man Camp.
There is oneproblem in connection with the Bohemian Grove
(wanted to tell you so you could talk with the President about
it).
He says that Harvey Hancock has gone all over the Bohemian
Club telling them what the President does or NAXEX does not
want -- changes his mind eve ry now and then -- he telle
them he has discussed this with the President which they do
not believe.
The Board of Directors has appointed Herbert Hoover, Jr.
to be the liaison between the President on any matters pertaining
to the Club. Through him they will do anything that the President
wants in any way. If there are any problems they will go through
Hoover.
Mr. Hoover will be calling RMW about this himself but probably
will not call until after Monday.

Dear Mr. President,
In accordance with the wish you
expressed to me, I have arranged to have Gerald Ford
as a guest at Caveman.
The magic of the White House works
wonders with the Board of Directors of the Bohemian
Club.
Inci dently, they are beset by our
mutual friend, Harvey Hancock, with suggestions supposedly
emanating from the White House. These are often contradictory.
So the Board has asked our Captain,
"erbert Hoover Jr., to be the imtermediary between the Board
and the White House for anything you may want. They are
prepared to do anything you wish.
Herb, who helped mightily on Gerry,
has named me assistant Captain for Washington, so you may
refer anyone or anything to me and be sure it will be advanced
to proper channels.
Cordially,
The President

Win W1th Nixon Rally
San Mateo
October 25, 1962
We are living in a moment of great crisis for the United States and
the world. The times call for calm, strong, forceful leadership by all
persons in positions of authority.
The Cuban situation now transcends partisan debate. Whatever argu-
ments may have been, now that the course of action has been decided, now
that the prestige of the United States has been committed, we must speak
/
with one voice to the world.
It 1s easy to become uninformed, emotional, excited and start runs on
gasoline stations and grocery stores. But we must not panio. We must keep
our heads, for you can be sure Khrushchev 1s watching how Americans react.
2
If we can't take it, he will provoke us allthe more.
While the situation is grave and involves serious risks, we must view
it calmly and in perspective. Clearly the President could not have acted
otherwise. He deserves our full support. For to have Castro controlling
powerful weapons of destruction would be a frightful thing. Castro,
compared to Khrushchev, is a madman.
I know Khrushchev. He is not a man who isa slave to his passions.
4
He uses rather than loses his temper. And he will not risk Moscow to save
Havana.
war, but mL defeat without war. Forty-five years ago, communism was a cellar
conspiracy. Now, through revolution, subversionand coup d' etat, the
Communists control one-third of the world.
Communists look at the world interms of a century and they are willing
to wait. They think they are strong and we are soft. But the greater
likelihood is that whenKhrushchev 1sput to the point of no return, he will
back down.

Americans must accept the cold war as a way of life. Today the
battle-front isCuba. Tomorrow itmay be Southeast Asia or Berlin.
One of the great marks of America is that we have never in our
history discontinued political discussion, evenwhen we have been at war.
For us to follow any other practice, especially when not at war, would
be out of character with the American tradition.
This is a time for us to strengthen our understanding and devotion
to our ownideals.
We must not play the Communists' game -- either out of fear or
ignorance. When our beliefs in free enterprise, decentralized government,
voluntary actionand open political debate can keep us free and alive,
those who realiy rally to the banner of "Better Red than Dead" are either
fools or cowards.
