DEAN WILCOX OPPOSES MoUAID PLAN
Doubts Wisdom of Establishing Hall for
Catholics at Cornell University.

Ithaca. n. Y, April 22.-Dean Walter F. Wilcox.
OF the Cornell College Of Arts and Sciences. in an
interview to-day expressed opinions unfavorable to
Bishop McQuaid's project to establish hall for
Catholics at Cornell. as follows:
IF the proposal is to establish a hall where per-
sons OF the religious belief may live and
perhaps attend common religious exercises. see no
objection In principle. but doubt whether similarity
Of religious belief will prove adequate bond Of
union with such a social group.
II the proposal Is to establish sectaran college,
work at which should be counted toward Cornell
degree the matter is educational problem OF
serious Importance upon Which-under the present
organization-the judgment Of the faculty facul-
ties involved would probably ba decisive.
II such college were established and its work
was approved by the faculty Of this university the
departments teaching similar subjects, It's students
might be transferred to some college of this uni
versity and receive advanced standing. But I
doubt that there is any precedent for allowing
students to do. during the same period. part OF
their work In Cornell University and part OF II in
Cornell degree and doubt the wisdom OF sstab-
fishing such a precedent.

The keynote OF the criticisms appearing in the
London papers to-day is regret that Mr. Sothern
and Miss MaFlowe should have chosen such an in
effective play for their London appearance. and
for this reason most Of the papers devote them

a most hearty welcome personal grounds and

Strongly divergent opinions are expressed regard
ing merits of the play, but most OF the papers
agree il is Ineffective from the stage point OF
view and that Il could be rendered acceptable only
IN the hands of the very finest eKponents. The
Chronicle says the performance was a revelation
of what good. sincere and competent poetic action
IN America, can produce. The beautiful lines were
spoken with a precision and roundness that would

paper continues II IS doubtful whether the English

portrayal OF Hauptnann's characters
