US Presidents

[dlr38311]

What US Presidents, besides Barak Obama, during their tenure in office also made a point of speaking at one time or another to the nation's children about the importance of going to college?

I think it was roosevelt.

I've no reason to think that he spoke to the nation's children about going to college, but I wouldn't be surprised if Eisenhower did so.

The impact of Sputnik and the USA's shock at suddenly finding themselves behind in the space-race caused the Eisnehower administration to invest heavily in science education and generally get behind science/engineering qualifications.

Franklin or Theodore???

If you wiki the relevant US presidents
from 1901
you will get hugely long articles about their achievements and otherwise

Roosevelt FDR may have done during one of his 'fireside chats'
