My dear Dr. Levermore:
At the breakfast to President Roosevelt on Tuesday, Mr. Herman A. Metz was among those in attendance. I told him his name had been mentioned in connection with the trusteeship of Adelphi College and he immediately replied that he would like to be of service to the institution, and if he thought he could be of service in that capacity, he would be glad to do so. Of course, I did not offer him the trusteeship but only spoke of it; he is available, however, and I think he would make a good man.
I did not get back to New York until late on Monday and am, therefore, deluged with business and other matters. I have only five more days before sailing for Europe, and have just found that I must go to Albany tomorrow. I, therefore, fear it will be impossible for me to visit the College before my departure. I can meet you and some of the others, if it is absolutely necessary, before I go - possibly Saturday afternoon. I do not see how I can see you before that time and it will be difficult for me to do even that.
Hoping everything is getting along nicely with you.
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
I am in receipt of yours of the 3rd inst., but have not had a chance to reply to it before. It seems too bad to have the Board Meeting on Monday, the 19th, in vire of the entertainment by the Alumnae Association. I think a night later in that week could be better for me. The Englisha and European managers of this Company are coming here, one arriving tomorrow and one a week from yesterday and I must necessarily give them my attention in Syracuse. I should be there, as I wrote you, in the 19th. How would Thursday, the 22nd suit? Thursday is a pretty good night in the week and it is far enough before the Holidays, which begin on Saturday, to insure the presence in the City of all the members.
I had a talk with Mr. Starr J. Murphy. It is impossible to get him to think of serving on the Board, for reasons which I will explain to you when I see you. He was lunching with Frank Babbott and Babbott heard the conversation. It resulted in his making the suggestion that he knew a man who would be of great service to us, he thought, on the Board. He promised to see this man and let me hear from him in the course of a few days. He preferred not to mention the man's name. We then took up and discussed at considerable length, the consolidation of Adelphi, Polytechnic and Packard. It seemed to interest Murphy. He said he did not believe however, that the Rockefellers could be interest to such an extent as to warrant such an undertaking, in view of what they had to do for the Chicago University. I urged that it would not require such a tremendous expenditure as we could sell the present properties to good advantage and buy land on the Eastern Parkway. I will talk with you about this when I see you.
If you decide to have the meeting on the 22nd, or for that matter on the 19th, will you kindly telegraph to me, addressing my c/o The Smith Premier Typewriter Co., so that I can make my plans accordingly. I think it would be well to write a personal letter to all the members of the Board, urging them to attend.
With best wishes,
Yours very truly, -

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I was very sorry not to have been able to attend the meeting on Monday evening. Will try to see you in the very near future. You can imagine how extremely busy I am after an absence of three weeks from the office and for sometime before that I was unable to give much attention to business.
What is the date of Adelphi Commencement? I am planning to be away most all of June. I must spend ten days in the West on business and a week in Chicago at the Republican National Convention and nearly a week in New Have at my twenty-fifth anniversary of graduation and John's graduation. I shall make every possible effort to so arrange matters as to be present at Commencement.
Hoping everything is getting along nicely with you, I beg to remain -

My dear Levermore:
I am in receipt of yours of October 8th, and agree with all you say about the consolidation of the Brooklyn Collegiate Schools. I will be on hand on the evening of the nineteenth to attend the Board Meeting.

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I certainly think it is all right to get the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, if you can do so. He would be quite a card, I think, and it would probably be desirable to suggest to him that his expenses, etc., will be paid.
I hardly think I could get a pass to Florida although I will try to arrange it. I have always understood that it was very hard. I have never tried to get a pass for myself or for any one else.
With best wishes, believe me,

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I am taking this means of introducing to you Miss Ruth White, concerning whom, as you will remember, I had I had a long talk with you last night. I wish you would give her case very consideration and advise her what course she should pursue. I beg to remain,

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I am in receipt of your letter written on the 11th inst. It will be impossible for Mrs. Woodruff and me to visit Adelphi this week, as we leave tomorrow for Syracuse and from there are going to Columbus to attend my son's wedding. We expect to be back on Monday, the 29th of May, and between the thirtieth (which is a holiday) and our departure for Europe on the 6th of June, we hope to visit the College. During that week, I will try my best to meet you and the other member of the Executive Committee.
About Herman A. Metz - I agree with all you say. I met him quite recently at a dinner of the Brooklyn Riding & Driving Club. I was favorably impressed with him and found he was quite popular with those who were present. He is one of the most progressive and active men in Brooklyn and I should think would make an admirable trustee.
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
Answering your letter of recent date, I do not know how you could possibly get a better Commencement Orator than Woodrow Wilson of Princeton. I think you had better try to get him if you possibly can. I never heard of the Rev. A. H. Bradford and, therefore, between the two, it would seem to me that Wilson would be the most attractive.
I think the Baptist Temple is the best place in Which to hold the exercises. I certainly would not consider the Columbia Theatre and I never thought well of the Grand Opera House. I have never been in the Baptist Temple, but from what was said the other day at the Board Meeting, I think it would be the best place.
With best wishes, believe me,
Sincerely yours, -

My dear Dr. Levermore:
I am in receipt of yours of the 14th instant, and can see no harm in trying to get Wilson this year. You are just as likely to get him this year as next, and I hardly think that Littleton comes up to our requirements in anything other than oratorical ability. I do not mean to disparage him, for I really think highly of him, and perhaps we can do no better, but it is certainly falling far short from the Woodrow Wilson proposition.
As you know, I thoroughly approve of the Montauk for the commencement exercises.
Sincerely yours,
