Elon Huntington Hooker asks Josephine M. Stricker, personal secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, to write to Dr. L. M. Dennis of Cornell University, who is a dear friend. Hooker says that Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cornell, has never been friendly, and he does not think the University deserves to hear Theodore Roosevelt speak.
