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.
