President Roosevelt thanks Frank Basil Tracy for the slip. He is glad that Yale University president Arthur Twining Hadley reached the conclusion that he did, but cannot follow the reasoning used to reach it. He notes in a handwritten postscript that “it would be quite as difficult to achieve practical results for good in the field of action, by the aid of college presidents as by the aid of senators.”
