Subject(s): Commonwealth Club of California, Lectures and lecturing, Public speaking, Speeches, addresses, etc., Stanford University

If Theodore Roosevelt decides to speak at Stanford University, Benjamin Ide Wheeler suggests he do so on March 27. However, he warns there will be numberless speaking requests and advises Roosevelt only accept those of the Commonwealth Club and Harvard Club. Wheeler spoke to the Earle Foundation, and while they would appreciate an address on the bible translation, they would not accept it into their list.
