A young Roman Catholic clergyman will
preach in the Appleton Chapel at Harvard
College tonight. The Boston Herald in
an editorial on the subject says:
The management of Harvard University
are not exactly going to innovate next Sum-
day evening upon their previous custom
in appointing preachers for Appleton
Chapel on Sunday evenings, but will show
to the largest degree. the tolerant spirit of
their religious appointments in inviting a
young Roman Catholic clergyman to Oc-
cupy the university pulpit next Sunday
evening. 1t is asserted that this means
nothing more than what has always been
intended, when the right person should be
found 10 undertake this service. There Is
certainly no reason why the Roman Cath
olic clergy should not be eligible TO the
Harvard pulpit. and we are very glad that
one of the recent graduates of Harvard,
who has quite recently been advanced to
the Roman Catholic priesthood, is TO be
the first clergyman Of his church to of6ci
