President Roosevelt reaches out to Cyrus Northrop, president of the University of Minnesota, on behalf of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson. Wilson is seeking to hire someone, and he thinks a young professor from the chemistry department or the medical school would be the most suitable candidate. It would be difficult to hire a physician at the salary level he can offer. Roosevelt has sent a similar request to James Burrill Angell, the president of the University of Michigan.
