Richard Nixon (1913-94), the thirty-seventh
president of the United States, graduated from
Whittier College in 1934. The Nixon Collection
is divided into two sections: artifacts, and
published materials. The published materials
(books; newspaper clippings; and audiovisual
products, which include dvd's, videotapes,
audiotapes, l.p. records, motion pictures, and
microfilm) are housed on the Ground Floor of
Wardman Library.
Pat and Richard Nixon generously donated an
important trove of artifacts and memorabilia to
Whittier College in 1979. These items were
collected primarily during Vice-president
Nixon's foreign travels during the 1950's, and
include a number of gifts from foreign heads of
state, including Nikita Khruschev and David Ben
Gurion. These remarkable artifacts are on
display in the Nixon Room, on the top floor of
Wardman Library. Additional items from Nixon's
post-presidential years are also on display,
including gifts from Chou Enlai, the Premiere of
the Peoples Republic of China. |
