Dear Sir:
On January 10th, Mr. Woodruff wrote you that he had asked Mr. Reid to deliver an address at the College Convocation the 31st of this month.
We have a letter this morning from Mr. Reid. In which he state that it will be impossible for him to be present. as he has an engagement for that date.
He wishes to have conveyed to the Board his sincere regrets that he is unable to respond to the first call of the kind from Brooklyn, since he became Chancellor.
Mr. Woodruff is out of the city, but expects to return about the 20th.
Yours very truly. -

Dear Sir:
I called Mr. Woodruff's attention last evening to your letter of the 25th instant, regarding the Chinese Minister, and as the time is getting short, he asked me to write to him, which I have done, and enclose you a copy of that letter. As soon as I hear from him, I will let you know.
Mr. Woodruff wanted me to suggest to you that you write to Governor Odell about about the Heffley school business.
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 -
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
I received your letter of the 20th, and the same mail brought a letter from the Chinese Minister saying that he cannot accept the invitation. I am sure it will be impossible to get a man like Senator Beveridge for our Commencement on the fourteenth, which is the week proceding the National Convention at Chicago. I had planned to go West about the end of the week preceding the week of Commencement and getting in Chicago in time for the National Convention. I am sorry to find that Commencement falls on the 14th of June. I will, however, try to adjust my business affairs so as to be on hand.
I am sorry to hear about Gilmore. I spent the evening with him ten days ago and he did not refer to the matter.
I think you did well in accepting the resignations of Johnson, Coler, Briggs and Jamison, and I think the three men you have decided to elect are all good men, although I only know one, McDermott, personally. By the way, did Cora ever pay his subscription!
About the Commencement orator, you will have to do the best you can. I presume it will be all right to get Mr. Taylor, although it is unfortunate that we cannot get a man with some reputation. I am too busy to do anything on this line now, and I think it is imperative that you get somebody immediately. I have been away from the office, off and on, for the past three months and absent altogether for the past three weeks, so you can, perhaps, imagine how busy I am and what on accumulation of mail there is to answer.
Believe me with best wishes,
Yours very sincerely, -

Yours of the 22nd received. Your suggestion about McKelway is a good one and I am going to act upon, it at once, and write to him. Will follow it up by trying to see him tomorrow or Monday. Sorry to hear that Coler is in trouble. You know how I always felt about him; but under the circumstances, he has my sympathy.

I am very sorry to have to report that Dr. McKelway cannot deliver the address for Commencement, as he is to deliver one at some College in Missouri that very night. If there is anything further I can do, let me know, as I am ready to help you to the best of my ability.

My dear Levemore:
I am only in the City for a day, having arrived late last evening, and am going to the Adirondacks tonight for a day or two, and from there to Syracuse, where I shall have to remain all of next week. On my return to the City the week after next. I will try to see Mr. Murphy and others in connection with the Rockefeller gift. I am not sure but that your suggestion of calling a meeting early in September, notifying Mr. Nichols and others of the "Poly" Board, is a good idea. I have not had a chance to read your letter carefully, having just glanced through it, but will take the matter up aggressively as possible when I get back.
In the meantime, with best wishes, believe me,
Yours very sincerely, -

My dear Levermore:
Am I correct in understanding that there is to be a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Adelphi College next Monday evening. It seems unusual to have a meeting during the vacation. If there is to be a meeting on Monday night, I will make every effort to attend, and feel quite certain that I shall be able to do see.
Kindly remember me to Mrs. Levermore, and trusting you are all well and with best wishes for a Merry Christmas, believe me,

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 understand that the Unification Bill is to be passed without any amendments and that no power on earth can induce those having it in charge to alter it in any particular. The purpose is to have the Commissioner elected by the Legislature just as the Superintendent of Public Education has been elected in the past. You have probably noticed that yesterday a joint session of the Legislature convened and adjourned to a date early in March. It is proposed to pass the Unification Bill before that date and on the day before action is taken, elect a Commissioner. The matter is beyond any effort of ours, I am sure.
I have been summoned to a conference in Albany at four o'clock next Monday afternoon. If Mrs. Woodruff's condition will permit, I shall go up on the 12.50 train, returning that evening, or possibly going on to Syracuse to spend Tuesday morning. You will see, therefore, how impossible it will be for me to attend the meeting of the Board of Trustees on Monday next, from which, I trust, you will have me excused.
While I am in Albany on Monday, I will talk with the Governor and others about the Unification Bill, but the situation is, I am sure, as I have above set forth.

My Dear Levermore:-
I am in receipt of your favor, and will write to whomever you want me to about delivering the Commencement Oration whenever you get ready.
You ask me about a spring reception - Endowment Day. I thought that had been abandoned from what Judge Crane said to me. I have some doubt as to the advisability of the undertaking. I certainly am in no position to give it any time or attention as I am now situated.
With best wishes,

My dear Levermore:
Since writing to you the other day about attending Comptroller Grout's dinner, I find that it will be impossible for me to attend. It was my intention at that time to attend the dinner and take the 11.30 train that night to Albany, there joining a party of gentlemen whom I invited to visit my camp in the Adirondacks. Sunday, however, I learned that Senator Allds (who has the arrangements in charge) had arranged for a special car to be attached to the night train leaving Albany at 11.15 on Thursday night, the 23rd, and had so notified the twenty gentlemen whom I had invited. Beside this, they have arranged for a dinner - at which I am to be the guest - on that evening, the plan being to go directly from the dinner to the train. As Governor Higgins, Comptroller Kelsey, Secretary of State O'Brien, and a number of the members of the Senate, ate in the party, it is absolutely imperative that I should be in Albany early on Thursday. I am going to Syracuse tonight and will be back in New York a week from next Monday, at which time I would like to hear from you about Grout's plans. Will you not be kind kind enough to write me at that time about the whole scheme, what you think about it, etc., etc.
With best wishes, believe me,

My dear Levermore:
I received yours of the 28th ulto., but have actually not had time to write even a line in acknowledgment. I will see you as soon as I can - anyway on the 23rd at the dinner that Grout is going to give at the Brooklyn Club and to which, he told me yesterday, you had been invited. It is going to be very inconvenient for me to get there, but I told Grout I would because it seems to me his scheme is worthy of our consideration and attention at almost any cost. You may not be familiar with it. I did not know much about it until yesterday. He proposes the establishment of a great City University on a site near the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and near where the new library is to be built. His idea is to have Adelphi, Polytechnic and Packer all go into it. I did not have time to go into the details with him, but thought there would be plenty of time for that at the dinner on the 23rd, to which he is inviting the representatives of these three institutions. I will try to see you before that time, if it is possible, but I am going to Syracuse in a day or two and may not be back before the dinner.
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,
