"The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is."

"I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?"

Dwight D. Eisenhower

In looking through some old slides, I found one that said "President Eisenhower going through KWU campus".  I was so excited to have such a historic picture that I could not wait to put in on our brand new scanner and see it full size.  Unfortunately, the picture was from a distance and very blurry, so it is kind of like one of those old magic eye posters…if you stare at it long enough, Ike pops right out at you!




On a serious note…thank you to those who have served and who are currently serving in our military.  Bless you for the sacrifices you make to keep our country safe.

"Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Coyote. Wile E. Coyote, genius"

Wile E. Coyote



Apparently back in the day, Kansas Wesleyan University wasn’t happy with just a person in a coyote suit, they had a real live coyote as their mascot.  Look at this cute little guy…apparently they even tried to train this wild beast. 




 From this picture, I think you can guess what happened when the training stopped working!
