Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Endicott Peabody

President Roosevelt is anxious to have Kermit Roosevelt and Hall Roosevelt attend Alice Roosevelt’s wedding and suggests to Endicott Peabody, the rector of Groton School, that they take the Thursday evening train and return on Monday. Roosevelt feels Harvard University is mistaken about abolishing football outright and that clean sport can be secured if the president would interfere instead of waiting for the committees to act. He compares the collegiate football situation to Groton School and St. Mark’s School.
