Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Walter Camp

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt believes that all Americans owe a debt to Walter Camp for his championing of athletics and exercise, which Roosevelt believes is necessary as America develops a larger population of sedentary classes. Roosevelt particularly approves of football, and is disdainful of people like Harvard University President Charles William Eliot who wish to ban it because of the injuries it can cause. Roosevelt discusses injuries he has sustained during various sports and exercises, and says that while he approves of altering football’s rules so that it is less dangerous, he would rather have it be dangerous than not have it at all. Many prominent politicians in Washington, D.C., were involved in sports during their college years, and Roosevelt draws a link between having a sound body and a sound mind.

Letter from E. J. Hutchinson to Theodore Roosevelt

E. J. Hutchinson writes to Vice President Roosevelt about a recent article in the Boston Herald. The article reported on a speech by Daniel Henry Chamberlain, as well as remarks by Charles S. Hamlin and Charles Eliot Norton, that criticized the government’s colonial policy, particularly with regard to the Spanish American war. Hutchinson is concerned because these charges come from such eminent people, and says that their statements need a public response.
