(Copyright, 1903, by the Outlook Com
pany.]
“He became instantly a favorite with
Ids class of one hundred and seventy
odd,” says Jacob Uiis in the Outlook,
writing about Theodore Roosevelt’s
career at Harvard.
“They laughed at his oddities, at his
unrepressed enthusiasm, at his liking
for Elizabethan poetry, voted him
‘more or less crazy’ with true Harvard
conservatism, respected him highly for
his scholarship on the same solid
ground and fell in even with his no
tions for his own sake, as afterward
some of them fell in behind him In the
rush up San Juan hill, leaving lives of
elegance and ease to starve with him in
the benches and do the chores of a
trooper in camp under a tropical sun.
“It Is remembered that Theodore
Loosevelt set Harvard to skipping the
rope, a sport it had abandoned years
before with knickerbockers, but it suit
ed this student to keep up the exercise
us a means of strengthening the leg
muscles, and rope skipping became a
pastime of the class of ’80. In the
gymnasium they wore red stockings
with their practice suits. Roosevelt
had happened upon a pair that were
striped a patriotic red and white, and
he w’ore them, at first to the amaze
ment of the other students. He did
not even know that they had attracted
attention, but when some one told him
he laughed and kept them on. It was
what the legs could do hi the stockings
he was there to find out.
“Twenty years after I heard u police
man cull him a dude when he walked
up the steps of police headquarters,
New York, with a silk sash about bis
waist, something no man hud been
known to wear In Mulberry street in
the memory of the oldest there, and I
saw the same ofiicer looking after him
down the street as long as he was in
sight the day he went and turn back
with a sigh that made him my friend
forever, ‘There won’t such another
come through that door again in my
time, that there won’t’ And there did
not. The old man is retired long since.
“He Joined the exclusive ‘Pork’ club
and forthwith smashed all Its hallowed
traditions and made the Porcellian
blood run cold by taking his fiancee to
luncheon where no woman ever trod
before. He simply saw' no reason why
a lady should not lunch at a gentle
men’s club, and when the shocked bach
elor minds of the ‘Pork’ club searched
the horizon for one to confront him
with they discovered that there was
none. Accordingly the world still
stood, and so did the college.
“He played polo, did athletic stunts
with the fellows and drove a two
wheeled gig badly, having no end of
good times in It. When lie put on the
boxing gloves lie hailed the first comer
with the 1 lore delight if he happened
to be the champion of the class, who
was twice his size and heft. The pom
meling that ensued he took with the
most hearty good will, and, though his
nose bled and his glasses fell off, put
ting him at a disadvantage, he refused
grimly to cry quarter and pressed the
light home in a way that always re
minds me of that redoubtable Danish
sea fighter, Peter Tonlenskjold, who
kept up the light, firing pewter dinner
plates and mugs from his one gun,
when on his little smack there was left
hut u single man of the crew, ‘and he
wept.’ Tonlenskjold killed the captain
of the Swedish frigate with one of his
mugs and got a\vay. Roosevelt was
liested in his boxing matches often
enough; but, however superior, his op-
poncnts bore away always the impres
sion that they had faced a fighter.
“Rut the battle was not always to
the strong in those days. I have heard
I a story ot how Roosevelt beat a man
with a reputation as a tighfer, but not,
it w'oukl appear, with the instincts of
a gentleman. I shall not vouch for it,
for 1 have not asked him about it. Rut
it is typical enough to be true except
for the wonder how the fellow got in
there. He took, so the story runs, a
mean advantage and struck a blow
that drew blood before Roosevelt hud
got his glove on right. The bystanders
cried ‘foul,’ but Roosevelt smiled one of
; his grim smiles.
“ ‘I guess you made a mistake. We
| do not do that way here,’ he said, offer
ing the other his gloved hand in formal
salutation ns a sign to begin hostilities.
The next moment Ids right shot out
and took the man upon the point of the
Jaw, and the left followed suit. In two
minutes he was down and out. Roose
velt was ‘in form' that day. All the
fighting blood In him had been aroused
by the unfairness of the blow. I have
seen him when his blood was up for
good cause once or twice, and I rather
i think the story must be true. If I were
; to fight him and wanted to win I
should shun a foul blow ns I would
the pestilence. I am sure I would not
run half the risk from the latter.”
