This edition of “News and Notes” focuses on the restoration and conservation of two Theodore Roosevelt memorials: an equestrian statue of Roosevelt as a Rough Rider located in Portland, Oregon, and a conservation themed memorial in Tenafly, New Jersey. Separate articles provide background for each memorial, detailing their donors, sculptors, and the reasons why they are in need of restoration. The section also highlights the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s (TRA) annual teddy bear drive, a controversy involving a Roosevelt related question on a quiz show, and the TRA’s goal to have 2,000 members in the year 2000. Three photographs supplement the text.

Michael F. Moran describes the process of creating an unofficial inaugural medal for President Theodore Roosevelt’s inauguration in 1905. Moran says that the artist Francis Davis Millet started the process by writing Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt about the poor quality of the inaugural medal to be issued by the Bureau of the Mint. Moran highlights the roles played by the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who designed the alternate medal, and of the Tiffany Company which produced the medals. Moran notes the many changes in design, diameter, and metal which led to the medal not being produced in time for the March 1905 inauguration, and he notes that the work on the inaugural medal led to the collaboration between Theodore Roosevelt and Saint-Gaudens on redesigning the United States’ currency.
Four photographs appear in the article along with an illustration of both sides of the official inaugural medal issued by the Bureau of the Mint. Saint-Gaudens’s design appears on the front and back covers of the journal.
In a letter to George Otto Trevelyan, President Roosevelt says that Abraham Lincoln has always been his hero, and he takes pride in the fact that in the most recent election in 1904 he drew the support of working class voters just as Lincoln did: “farmers, lumbermen, mechanics, ranchmen, miners.” The vision statement of the Theodore Roosevelt Association appears below the letter.
