Did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt herself was present on our campus? Sixty-seven years ago, on April 30th, 1959, Mrs. Roosevelt delivered a lecture entitled, “Is America Facing World Leadership?” that was a part of the M. Ernest Townsend Memorial Lecture Series. The former first lady spoke about the post-WWII economy, as well as the ways that America could use its resources to be a source of global leadership. She was also presented with the Union County Golden Key by the mayor of Union.
