Speech given by Henry Cabot Lodge, the grandson of Theodore Roosevelt’s close friend of the same name, at the dedication of the Richards-Theodore Roosevelt Room at Boston University. The speech mostly addresses aspects of Roosevelt’s character while examining his time at Harvard, his role in the 1900 presidential campaign, and the attempt on his life in 1912. The title for the speech is taken from John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress.
