William N. Tilchin describes a seminar at Boston University on February 24, 2011, in which students were invited to look at, handle, and discuss items from the university’s Theodore Roosevelt Collection. The article includes Tilchin’s address at the start of the event which summarized Roosevelt’s life and career, and in which he highlighted four aspects of Roosevelt’s presidency: public relations, progressivism, environmentalism, and foreign policy. Tilchin also asserts his view that Roosevelt ranks second only to Abraham Lincoln among the presidents, and he encouraged the attendees to consider joining the Theodore Roosevelt Association.
Three documents on display at the seminar–a contract, a campaign poster, and a letter–appear in the article along with three photographs of some of the students in attendance.
