E. Victor Milione is president Emeritus of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. After service in the Air Corp in World War II, Victor Milione attended St. Joseph s University with the objective of pursuing a career in law. He earned a B.S. in Pre-Law and Political Science. A career in law was set aside, however, to join the work of Americans for the Competitive Enterprise System in shoring up American support for a free market economy through economic education programs for corporations. Mr. Milione believed that economic education alone was insufficient to minister to the crisis confronting the matrix of values that form Western Civilization and the American heritage. The crisis affected theology, philosophy, politics, ethics, and the host of disciplines pertaining to man s being and relationships. Consequently, he joined the Intercollegiate Studies Institute that was founded in 1953 to foster in successive generations of American college youth an appreciation of the economics, political, philosophical and ethical values that sustain a free and humane society. Mr. Milione served as its president for thirty years. President Reagan appointed Mr. Milione to two terms on the Board of Foreign Scholarships from 1982 to 1988. The Hon. John f. Lehman, then Secretary of the Navy, appointed Mr. Milione to the Academic Advisory board of the U.S. Naval Academy for the years 1985 to 1987. Mr. Milione was a member of the Board of the Commonwealth Foundation of Pennsylvania from 1989 to 1999 and has been a member of the Philadelphia Society since 1964. |
