Theodore Roosevelt asks Harry Pratt Judson, president of the University of Chicago, to look over the manuscript, Military Morale of Nations and Races, written by Captain Charles Young, “the only officer in the United States Army who is a colored man.” Roosevelt praises Young as an excellent officer with scholarly aptitude. Roosevelt feels Young’s manuscript ought to be published and hopes the University of Chicago Press will consider it.
