==Early Life==
==Early Life==
Gates was born on September 25, 1943, in Wichita, Kansas. He graduated from [[William and Mary College]], an [[Anglican]] school located in [[Virginia]]. While attending William and Mary, he was very involved in the [[Young Republicans]], and even became the chapter's President. He went on to receive a graduate degree from [[Indiana University]] and a Ph.D. from [[Georgetown University]]. Despite the omnipresence of the [[liberal]] viewpoint at Universities such as those Gates attended, he remained staunchly [[conservative]], not caving in to the pressure from those around him.
