Don Arp describes the University of Nebraska’s decision to recruit Theodore Roosevelt to become its chancellor in 1891. Arp notes that Roosevelt was seen as a good fit for the Nebraska post because of his affinity for the West and his work as a historian. Arp details Roosevelt’s immersion in his work as a United States Civil Service Commissioner, and he notes that at the time of the Nebraska offer, Roosevelt was increasingly distracted by the troubles surrounding his brother Elliot Roosevelt. A portrait of Roosevelt by Johann Waldemar de Rehling Quistgaard accompanies the text.

William N. Tilchin surveys the major works on President Theodore Roosevelt’s foreign policy from 1956 to 1986, looking at nine books and one article. Tilchin provides detailed reviews of eight of the books, and highlights the discussion of diplomacy in the ninth. In doing so, Tilchin addresses the historiography of Roosevelt and his foreign policy, and he demonstrates how Roosevelt’s reputation as a diplomat grew from the low point it reached with Henry F. Pringle’s biography of 1931. Tilchin touches on the major international crises and issues of Roosevelt’s presidency, including the Philippine American War, the creation of the Panama Canal, and the voyage of the Great White Fleet. The essay is supported by 183 endnotes and includes a listing of publications about Roosevelt’s diplomacy not addressed in the text.
The article also contains three text boxes: one lists the leadership of the Theodore Roosevelt Association; another, “About the Author,” notes Tilchin’s work as a teacher and historian; and a third says that this issue of the journal “is dedicated to the people of the State of North Dakota.” A portrait of Roosevelt and a photograph of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt with elements of her air wing illustrate the article.
