Letter from Benjamin Ide Wheeler to Theodore Roosevelt
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, returning from a meeting of the Association of State University Presidents, discusses his support for a national public university with President Roosevelt. Wheeler also relays the popularly held belief among “capitalists” in New York that restoring trust in the economy is key to recovering from the current economic crisis and suggests that with Spencer F. Eddy’s promotion to Ambassador to Argentina, John W. Garrett should take over his former position as First Secretary in Berlin.
