1876, is now much stronger,
the product of a home gym
his father had created for
him.

7. Harvard
Now a young man,
Theodore Roosevelt began
his "classroom" education at
Harvard, in Cambridge
Massachusetts. His early
schooling had been primarily
from a governess in
individual or small group
settings. As a boy Roosevelt
had attended school for a
short period, but his health
prevented normal schooling
for much of the time. At
Cambridge he would meet
some life long friends and
colleagues. [Dec 1876]

8. Yarr Matey!!!!!!
TR had become quite
athletic by the time he
reached Harvard. Here he
appears in his sculling outfit.
Rowing and boxing were two
of the "organized" sports in
which TR participated. When
skating with friends,
Theodore was still out on the
ice long after everyone else
had quit from cold and
fatigue. [circa 1877]

establishment; that he
criticized the secretary
of war for not bringing
troops home quickly
from Cuba despite risk
of disease there; and
that his lobbying for the

want it." unseemly.

Roosevelt he continued to

traveled leader shown

tour in 1902.

32. Bully Pulpit
"bully pulpit", a good place
from which to make a
statement to the public about
the way things ought to be.
All the time he had spent

tenement dwellers and shop
keepers in the city, and
soldiers in battle helped him

Brazil, however, plans were
formed to explore an
unmapped river, the River of
Doubt which flowed from the
interior to the Amazon.
Colonel Rondon (right) and
Colonel Roosevelt along
with Kermit and about 20
others began the journey.

80. Who am I.?

89. The “Teddy” The Theodore Roosevelt Award
is the highest honor the (NCAA)
may confer on an individual. The
award is awarded annually to a
graduate from an NCAA member
institution who earned a
varsity letter in college for
participation in athletics, and who
ultimately became a distinguished
citizen of national reputation based
on outstanding life
accomplishment.
The award, nicknamed "The
Teddy," is named after President
Theodore Roosevelt, whose
concern for the conduct of
intercollegiate athletes and athletic
programs led to the formation of
the NCAA in 1906.

90. There is no room in this country for
hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to
hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to
naturalized Americans. Some of the very best
Americans I have ever known were naturalized
Americans, Americans born abroad. But a
hyphenated American is not an American at
all. This is just as true of the man who puts
“native” before the hyphen as of the man who
puts German or Irish or English or French
before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of
the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must
be purely to the United States. We must
unsparingly condemn any man who holds any
other allegiance.
