Excerpt from The University Magazine, Vol. 18
Viewed thus narrowly, Wilson's triumphal procession from one European capital to another recalls the reception which Europe accorded to Roosevelt in 1910, on his return from Africa. Anyone who chanced to be in England or on the Continent at that time will find no difficulty in remember ing how spectacular were the festivals and how loud the plaudits. German grand manoeuvres were held in honour of Roosevelt, and as a memorial of these there still exists a photograph which bears a holographic inscription of William H, couched in the following terms: Teddy showing William how to Direct the German Army. This is only one slight indication of the way in which Roosevelt was welcomed wherever he went, alike as a picturesque, vigorous leader, and as representing the one hundred million people whose affairs he had so recently guided with a firm hand.
