Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to L. S. Rowe

Subject(s): International relations, South America, United States, Universities and colleges--Political aspects

President Roosevelt is interested in hearing about L. S. Prouty’s trip to South America and his thoughts on relations there. He believes it is important to form personal intercontinental networks, as knowledge dispels prejudice. The American universities are well equipped to tackle “distinctly American” problems through cooperation, with the greater aim of bringing together all people of the Western Hemisphere.
