Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles William Eliot

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles William Eliot

President Roosevelt did not know that the telegraphs that he sent to Charles William Eliot, the president of Harvard College, would be made public, and now sends him a letter so that if the matter comes up in the future Roosevelt’s position would not be misstated. Roosevelt feels that the the removal of Sidney W. Fish and Charles C. Morgan was too severe. While Roosevelt agrees with the idea of enforcing honor from Harvard’s college students, he feels that the action taken in this case has had the opposite effect.
