Aaron Berg, lawyer and graduate of Columbia University in New York City, was active in university alumni affairs. In 1952 he and other alumni organized the National Committee Columbia University Alumni for Dwight D. Eisenhower. Their stated purpose was to tell the positive story of Eisenhower’s role at Columbia and to solicit financial and voting support for General Eisenhower.[1] After the election, the committee continued to function in order to help revitalize and expand the Republican Party (United States). Periodically, it compiled a grass-roots report which evaluated Eisenhower’s program and performance as president.
In 1956, the committee was reformed as the Committee for the Eisenhower Program. The new organization was dedicated to Eisenhower’s re-election or, if the president decided not to run, to the election of someone who would carry out Eisenhower’s programs. The hostility and resistance which the committee encountered from the Republican party led to the committee's dissolution in the summer of 1957.
