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,
