The speech you are about to see and hear, and also read (I have included a transcript) was given by Dwight David Eisenhower on January 17^th, 1961, his last day as the 34^th president of the United States. “Ike,” as Eisenhower had been known since his early days in the U.S. Army, was elected to the presidency eight years earlier, with his fame and popularity stemming not merely from his affable charm but from the fact that he was perceived by many (in America and abroad) as the cool-headed general who, as Supreme Allied Commander of Allied Forces in Europe, led the U.S. and her allies to victory over Nazi Germany during World War Two. And early in his term as president, the one-time five-star general of the army (a very rare rank to attain) helped bring about the end of the Korean War, in which American troops fought for three years.

During his term in office, America sat astride the world like a colossus. While the economies of Western Europe and Asia were still in chaos after the ravages of WWII, the economy of the United States, largely untouched by the physical destruction that laid low so many places where the war had been fought, was the envy of the world. After the traumas of the Great Depression and WWII, ordinary Americans and many soldiers and sailors returning from war, were eager to buy new cars, the new and popular product called a television set, and more homes than could be built. This is the era that brought is the baby boom.

For all that was going right for America at the start of the ‘60s, “Ike” had some concerns, which he spells out in simple terms in this farewell address. The speech was significant because it was the first time a U.S. president had used television in this way, and the speech is regarded as quite a successful address.

Your assignment is to write a short essay in which you will apply what you have learned in this course to assess and critique this speech. You will want to listen, watch and read it several times. When writing, use examples from the speech to support your ideas, and cite Griffin to build your credibility. You’ll need to look past the primitive black-and-white video tape with an eye and ear on such questions as:

1) What do you assess Eisenhower’s standpoint to be? (Consult our text for more on standpoint). Is his standpoint consistent with that of a career military man? If so, why? If not, why not?

2) What sort of speech is this? Is it informative, persuasive, invitational, or something else? Was it a special occasion speech? If so,what kind?

3) What were Ike’s goals? What did he hope to accomplish? And what sort of language did he use – concrete or abstract or both? Cite examples. Was his delivery appropriate – meaning his pacing pitch, vocal variety, etc.?

4) Is it well-reasoned? That is to say, does he engage in any fallacies? If so, are they intentional? Is he being honest or he is trying to twist his language to make is point? What was his ethos? Did his speech have logos? Despite his rather dry delivery, what evidence do you see of pathos, if at all?

5) What sorts of questions is he addressing: questions of value, fact, or policy (or all three)? Where?

6) Does he seem well prepared, rehearsed and practiced? How, if at all, does he use gestures to emphasize his points? Such as?

7) If Eisenhower were delivering this speech today, what ideas would you suggest if you were helping him write, prepare and rehearse it?

These are among the questions you might want to consider as you evaluate and critique this speech. You may wish to apply other course concepts as well.

YOUR SUBMISSION NEEDS TO BE IN THE FORM OF AN ESSAY. BEGIN WITH AN INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW- JUST AS YOU WOULD IN A SPEECH – IN WHICH YOU IDENTIFY WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED AND OFFER A PREVIEW OF YOUR ESSAY.

DO NOT WRITE A NUMBERED LIST OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. SUCH SUBMISSIONS WILL RECEIVE A FAILING GRADE.

You will need a standard APA References page on which you include our book and any other resources you think you might want to use. You do not need to include the speech on your References page (it would be hard to cite in this way) but you will need to cite any remarks of his using the transcript as a source. For instance:

“Eisenhower called for a balancing of our priorities so that the needs of government and the needs of citizens were weighed carefully, which he saw as a product of good judgment” (p. 2).

In whatever is your first parenthetical citation, you’ll include Eisenhower’s name and the year of the speech, such as: (Eisenhower, 1961, p. 2).
