President Roosevelt, addressing the Groton Preparatory School: “Now, boys, don’t be molly-coddles”
President Roosevelt points at a sign that reads, “The Strenuous Life: bears I have met, boxing lessons I have taken, what I know about fencing, mountain lions I have devoured, what I know about jiu jitsu, band men from the Bad Lands I have met, powder I have smelt.” Six boys, including one holding “The Strenuous Life,” look at teacher Roosevelt. Caption: President Roosevelt, addressing the Groton Preparatory School: “Now, boys, don’t be molly-coddles.”
