Theodore Roosevelt will spend Thanksgiving with the family but will have to leave Friday morning due to exams. He has been in good health and only felt a little homesick during an illness. Roosevelt traveled to New Haven, Connecticut to watch the football team. Harvard lost as Yale “played very foul.” He is glad he is not a Yale freshman due to the hazing and the “scrubby” look of the students.
