France and the Church
On Brink of Contest
Many Now Believe Time Has Arrived for
Catholics to Resent Recent Legisla-
ton by the Government

PARIS, May Up to this time in the
contest between church and state, the
state has had most of the say. and
the church has maintained, officially at
least, a complete silence.
Its partisans among the laity have
rushed into print and occasionally u
priest has unbosomed himself in a ser
mon. but the Roman Catholic Church
in France as a body has maintained a
reserve as remarkable as it must have
been difficult
Even the visit Of President Loubet
10 Rome, which put France in the posi-
ton Of formally denying the temporal
claim Of the Pope, was passed over in
silence. But it added to the exaspera-
ton Of the clerical party in both France
and Italy.

Many now believe the time has ar
rived for something to happen The
great difficulty is, of course. that the
church receives something like s.. CO. 900

STEPS To MERGE
TWO GREAT SCHOOLS

A COOPERATIVE SCHEME

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. May 7.-Presi-
dent Eliot, Of Harvard. last night con-.
f;Iined the statement that Harvard and
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
I.olo gy, representing the two greatest
scientific schools in the country. are
trying to combine.
The ideas OF the promoters of the
scheme, he explained clearly, IS not an
absorption Of Technology by the larger
university, but a kind OF cooperative
scheme by which competition could in
large measure be avoided and more
efficiency be obtained by a common
avaiIment of the teaching force Of both
institutions.
Would Involve Big Sum.
Harvard's share In the matter would
be considerable. involving not only he
present property and equipment. but
also the $4,000 left to the scientific
school by the n Kay fund.
u the present time Technology
has fought the union. but her sons are

ates outside. the deal will go through.
for Harvard is ready TO go to almost
any reasonable length TO effect the
union.
Favored by Eliot.
The merging OF the Lawrence Scien-
tific School and Technology is O thing
ions wished for by President Eliot and
would be a fitting climax to his long
and eventful career.
1t also falls nicely IN line with the
Presidents great plan of university ex-
tension by opening up a new Yard
between Mount Auburn Street and the
Charles River.
In this new part Of the college grounds
the new buildings to be used jointly BY
the two institutions would probably be
built.
