Eisenhower Lecture at Kansas State University


	Eisenhower Lecture No. 1 "Shadows of Time: Experiences in Research," by Edward M. Coffman Eisenhower Lecture No. 2, "Eisenhower and the American Dream," by John Keegan Eisenhower Lecture No. 3, "Nixon and Vietnam: Vietnam and Electoral Politics," by Stephen Ambrose Stephen E. Ambrose delivered the third biennial Eisenhower Lecture at Kansas State University on October 25, 1988. At the beginning of 2002, Ambrose was discovered to have incorporated passages from the works of other authors in several of his own books without proper attribution. The Department of History considers these and all other instances of plagiarism to be fundamentally incompatible with the most basic standards and values of the historical profession. At the same time, however, we believe that we have a responsibility to make the full texts of all of the Eisenhower lectures available to the scholarly community and the public, and have therefore decided not to remove this lecture from our website.

			The Eisenhower Lecture in War and Peace is a biennial event hosted by the Kansas State University Department of History. Internationally acclaimed historians are invited by the Department of History to speak on an issue of war and peace in their field of specialization. Lecturers are also invited to lecture specific undergraduate classes as well as lead graduate seminars and interact with graduate students. Department faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students as well as supporters of the Department of History are also invited to attend a special banquet with the guest lecturer and participate in an informal post-lecture question and answer session with the guest speaker. The opinions and interpretations presented in these lectures are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Kansas State University and/or the Department of History.
