Although Eisenhower had no preliminary ambitions to become a soldier, he entered West Point -- attracted by a free higher education -- and passed the entrance exams in 1911.

Eisenhower was an average student at the academy, but would later surprise the military community with exceptional ability. At one point, he nearly had to retire his studies owing to a sports injury. Ranking 61st out of 164 in his class, Eisenhower graduated in 1915.
