Letter from John H. Finley to Theodore Roosevelt

John H. Finley, president of the City College of New York, clarifies the proceedings for the laying of the cornerstone for the new college. President Roosevelt would not have to formally attend anything or make an address if he came; he would just have to lay the cornerstone. Finley assures Roosevelt that he does not want the situation to embarrass him, but hopes that he can attend to associate himself with the college.
