Mrs. Roosevelt Speaks

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eleaher Roosevelt made a quick visit to the University last week unnoticed by almost every student.

Speaking informally to 48 members of the International Seminar. Mrs. Roosevelt commented on "The Values of Democracy." Her 40-minute speech, followed by a brief question-and-answer session, was all off the record.

Boston newspapers, bearing of her visit, attempted to cover the closed seminar session. Only the Boston Globe succeeded in interviewing the former first lady, as she indicated she would "probably" make a few speeches on behalf of Democratic nominee Senator John F. Kennedy '40.

Mrs. Roosevelt has traditionally visited the members of the International Seminar each summer, meeting in informal session and making brief remarks.
