Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles William Eliot

President Roosevelt disagrees with Harvard President Charles William Eliot that football should be stopped. He knows “scores” of young men who have morally and physically benefited from the sport. He believes that brutality and abuses should be removed from the game, but the effort to remove them is hindered by people who are instead trying to abolish it.
