General of the Army (ret.) Omar N. Bradley will visit Kirkland House for three days starting April 14, Charles H. Taylor, Master, disclosed yesterday.
Bradley, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will live in the Master's guest suite during his stay at Kirkland. He will address House members in the Junior Common Room on Wednesday evening, April 15, though the subject of his talk has not yet been decided upon.
It will be impossible, Taylor indicated, to arrange a series of small dinners similar to those which marked the recent visit of playwright S. N. Behrman '16, because Bradley's stay will be a good deal shorter than Behrman's, which lasted a week. The House staff will, however, try to allow as many students as possible to meet the General personally.
Bradley graduated from West Point in 1915, in the same class as President Eisenhower. During the Second World War, he had several different combat commands in the European Theater of Operations. He led the Second Army Corps in the Tunisian and Sicilian campaigns, and commanded the First Army in the Normandy operations.
In later stages of the war, Bradley was commanding General, under Eisenhower, of the 12th Army Group, and participated in the post-war administration of occupied Germany. In 1948 he became Army Chief of Staff and moved up to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in 1949.
