Randolph-Macon Women’s College, known as Randolph College since 2007 when it started admitting men, is a private college in Lynchburg Virginia. The college was established in 1891 when the president of Randolph-Macon College was unable to garner support to have the school be open to female enrollment. After struggling to find a suitable location for the establishment the city of Lynchburg donated fifty acres to the institution. Founder’s Day is March 10th and is celebrated with various events on campus. As noted on the college’s official site since Founder’s Day usually falls during the week of Spring Break they celebrate it later in March.

"I Like Ike" is one of the most famous American presidential campaign slogans of all time. Eisenhower (or, Ike, as was his childhood nickname), a five-star general in World War II, was courted by both Democrats and Republicans alike to be their candidate in the 1952 presidential campaign. Republicans, in their push to woo Eisenhower, began using the slogan "I Like Ike" even before he agreed to be their nominee! Once Eisenhower was officially the Republican candidate, the slogan became nearly ubiquitous. There was even an advertisement produced by Disney with a jingle that incorporated the slogan. 

Eisenhower defeated incumbent president Adlai Stevenson to become the 34th president of the United States. His platform was known for expanding social security, creating the interstate Highway system, and signing the Civil Rights Act into law.
