He was also chosen to tour and report on post-Second World War Germany due to his experience from similar humanitarian missions he undertook in Europe in the aftermath of the First World War.

Does anyone think that it's possible that there will be another career engineer as POTUS? I've heard that there remains a sort of stigma to such a thing, perhaps in part due to the Hoover administration.

I don't know why there would be a stigma on engineers and not not college professors. Wilson was a far worse president than Hoover.

Eisenhower was the President of Columbia University. Clinton and Obama both taught in Law Schools.

I think there's a better batting average for college professors than engineers.
