Letter from William H. Carpenter to Nicholas Murray Butler
Professor William H. Carpenter writes to Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, on behalf of an academic committee which is organizing an honorary dinner for Rudolf Leonhard, the visiting Kaiser Wilhelm Professor. John William Burgess, visiting Roosevelt Professor at the University of Berlin, received a warm welcome from German Emperor William II the previous year, so Carpenter and the committee hope that Butler will invite President Roosevelt to the dinner in the hopes of fostering greater academic exchange and cooperation between the two nations.
