FDR received a BA degree in history from Harvard in 1903. He next studied law at New York’s Columbia University as one of the class of 1907, though after he passed the bar examination just before graduation, he left school without taking a degree. For the next three years he practiced law with a prominent New York City law firm.
Just five weeks before his first inauguration as President, Roosevelt’s Columbia Law School class held a dinner and he attended. Typed Letter Signed on his personal letterhead, Warm Springs, Ga., February 1, 1933, to his friend and Columbia classmate, attorney Gordon Kleeberg. “On behalf of the Class of 1907, I want to thank you for your telegram of good wishes, which was read at the dinner. We had a perfectly grand time, and I am sorry that you could not have been with us. Perhaps I shall have the pleasure of seeing you some day soon.” The letter is clearly in Roosevelt’s own voice and thus dictated by him personally.
