President Roosevelt will not let his “gloom at thirty years of Harvard’s defeat in athletics” make him surprised at the quality of scholarship from Yale. He believes that Yale’s Thomas R. Lounsbury is the foremost scholar in the country. He asks Charles Hitchcock Sherrill if he saw Owen Wister’s address at Harvard where he alluded to Gifford Pinchot. He also invites Sherrill and his wife to come to the diplomatic reception and dinner on January 9.
