Theodore Roosevelt writes his father, President Roosevelt, with suggestions regarding an upcoming speech to be made at Harvard University. The younger Roosevelt explains that many college men are also on the staffs of newspapers and so it will be impossible for Roosevelt to keep his speech from the papers. The younger Roosevelt also recommends avoiding dealing with Harvard University President Charles William Elliot too harshly and giving the speech under the auspices of the Political Club. He also recommends not replying to this letter until Arthur C. Blagden and Robert Low Bacon have written the elder Roosevelt.
