  • This Week’s Cover
    • Always there are words of Benjamin Franklin that speak for today. Consider that 203 years ago the founder of this magazine, whose birthday we again honor, wrote to Dr. Samuel Johnson, of Connecticut, inviting him to become president of a newly forming Academy, now the University of Pennsylvania. Instead, Johnson became the first president of King’s College in New York, now Columbia. From today’s Columbia sons will go to the White House a new leader, a man who has summoned young people to his crusade and superlative men to his government. “Train up youth in wisdom and virtue . . . wise and good men . . . are these.” Are these indeed Franklin’s ancient words to Johnson—or is this Eisenhower speaking?
