Liberty, MO

Harry S. Truman speaks to an unidentified student group at the Truman Library. He mentions he has spoken to a group earlier at William Jewell College. He speaks of the renovation of the White House, term limits on the President, the importance of the study of the history of the U. S.

Partial recording President Harry S. Truman's address at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri upon receiving an honorary degree. The tape begins with the KMBC radio program giving the speech of the President of the College, Walter Pope Binns, and the guest speaker, Judge Manley O. Hudson. There is a gap between the guest speaker and the words of President Truman; only the few minutes of President Truman's speech is on the recording. This recording was evidently done over another tape and there is a portion of another Truman speech following this William Jewell broadcast.
