On letter paper he writes to Henry Waite in part, “...<i>I have, of course, the very strongest sympathy with the purposes of the Institute of Civics, and I should esteem it a privilege to be accorded a place amongst its lecturers. I am afraid, however, that I cannot promise to be a contributor to the Citizen. My inclination is to promise my cooperation in that part of the enterprise also — for certainly it is one of the best parts of it —; by my engagements are just now such as to forbid my hoping to find time for such writing as I should like to do for the periodical press...for which I have very decided tastes.</i>..” Boldly penned and signed the year he successfully published his doctoral dissertation, <i>Congressional Government,</i> and accepted an academic appointment at Bryn Mawr.
