Theodore Roosevelt provides a detailed description of one day of college life, particularly last Monday. There is a lot of class and studying but also boxing, dinner with the Tudors, and a window broken by a baseball. Roosevelt has been going out a lot but will focus on his examinations in a few weeks. He plans on collecting bird specimens in the spring and will be traveling to the Adirondacks with H. D. Minot. He requests that his gun and collecting supplies be sent. Roosevelt has been enjoying his Sunday school class and his library has been the “greatest possible pleasure.”
