Abstract
Richard Nixon’s character traits were shaped, in part, during his early family life. This article traces the development of those traits and their evolution during his elementary and high school years. But it finds that it was in his four years at Whittier College, 1930–1934, particularly in his co-curricular engagements there, that his personality, values, work habits, and skills fully emerged.
