My dear Dr. Alderman:
It is with heartfelt regret that I find myself unable to attend the great
festival of the University.
I regard the University with genuine affection, recalling as I do with the
keenest interest and with many happy memories the profitable days I spent
on her lawns and in the stimulating class-room where we used to gather
about the great John B. Minor. He was a great teacher, and I hold myself
his permanent debtor.
May I not express the confident hope that, surrounded by her sons, the
University may take on new life?
With affectionate loyalty to the noble University;
Faithfully yours,
Woodrow Wilson.
Dr. Edwin A. Alderman,
