Letter from Edgar Huidekoper Wells to Arthur Woods

Edgar Huidekoper Wells of Harvard writes to Arthur Woods of Groton School to discuss the suggestion of Kermit Roosevelt taking six half-courses before leaving on President Roosevelt’s African Safari. Wells says that he thinks that, while few of these courses are available to freshmen, Kermit could likely get at least five half-courses together. Wells thinks it would be better if Kermit would take full courses, but acknowledges that there are difficulties in trying to do that. In certain meritorious cases, Wells says, students are allowed to split full courses, but this most often happens in the context of disease, and he is not sure how the administrative board would view Kermit’s case. Wells believes President Roosevelt should write to Dean Byron Satterlee Hurlbut to make sure he has the full facts. The first page of this letter is missing.
