John Lewis Griffiths, consul-general to Britain, invites President Roosevelt to visit Liverpool, England. Griffiths informs Roosevelt that the northern university movement has expanded opportunities for education, as evidenced by the establishment of universities in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, and Bristol. Besides having lower tuition, Griffiths argues that these schools do more applied work. Griffiths concludes by praising the research done at the University of Liverpool and implores Roosevelt to inspire the Liverpool community.
