PHI BETA kAPPA'S
40TH ANNIVERSARY
Annual Address TO the Frat.
Men Delivered BY President
Grosvenor, of Amherst.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 22.-Phi
Beta Kappa. Alpha, of New Jersey,
celebrated its fortieth anniversary at
Kirkpatrick Chapel yesterday after
noon with appropriate exercises. Many
Rutgers alumni. attracted by the com
mencement week exercises. were | n at
tendance.
The principal address was delivered
by Professor Edwin A. Grosvenor,
LII. D., of Amherst College, president
of the United Chapters of Phi Beta
Kappa, who spoke on THE Attitude OF
the Scholar. Concluding, he said:
THE glory of the American college
and of American scholarship is not the
refinement and culture which the col
lege develops and which that scholar
ship displays. II is not the splendor
and luxury of the classroom and libra
ries. wherein that scholarship Is nursed.
1t is not the erudition of its teachers,
though thai erudition be profound.
These things are indeed precious, but
they do not constitute its crown. The
distinctive features of American
scholarship are Its readiness to receive,
its facility to adapt and it's many
sided breadth. These three are the in
h~eritance of the American scholar
which the American college has be-
aueathed him. To an equal birthright
the alumnus of no foreign institution
is the heir. Herein is the American
college unique. In disposition and
ability to confer such bequest the
American college stands alone.
Guided by the college hand, SUI
fused by the college spirit, eye-mois-
tened by the college memories, the
scholar advances upon the stage. He
has made his own the immortal dictum
of the Latin master, Mill humanum a
ma puto. With sympathies broad and
the race free from suspicion and with
out guile, welcoming the good from
whatsoever source it comes. ready for
each emergency as it arises. he stands
forth in the light of heaven, God-fear-
ing. man-serving. seif-conhdent and
serene -nN 4.
Such, then, is the attitude of the
scholar. Such, then, should be the at
tttude, above ALL of every Phi Beta
Kappa man"

NEW YORK, June 22.-Declaring that
institutions such as Harvard. Yale ana
Princeton undermined The faith and
injured the morality of their students.
Bishop James A. McFaul, of the Tren-
ton. N. j., diocese, made a strong appeal
College of st. Francis Xavier, Sixth
avenue and Sixteenth street, to do their
part in the apostolate of the laity. The
two methods he pointed out to them
We're to support the Catholic press and
to encourage Catholic education. The
bishop said in part:
"One OF the great problems which
have been considered by the American
Federation of Catholic Societies is
Catholic education. Yale, Harvard and
Princeton are undermining the faith
and injuring the morality of their stu
dents. In a recent celebrated case In
this city a girl declared on the witness
stand that she did not know the Ten
Commandments. They don't know
them at these institutions. The Bible
used to be the great pride of the Prot
stants. 1t is forgotten now. If par
ents send their boys to institutions the
no such thing as an absolute dictinc-
ton between right md wrong, they
can have little regard for them.
DEGREES Social Ambitions.
Il have known sad things among the
people who are filled with the fanatic
and lunatic desire to get into society.
IF we want to save the faith we
must send the boys and girls to Cath.
ole institutions, where they will have
the Ten Commandments stamped on
their hearts. No institution can endure
unless it is founded on religion and
morality. The salvation of the republic
depends on Christian education.
Some of the great educators of
America have recognized this already.
and know that there must be some
moral education in the universities"
The bishop closed by quoting Mark
Hanna, who had declared that if ever
the liberties of America were endan>
gered il would have the Catholic
Church on which to rely.
Tells of Church's Growth.
At the opening of his speech the
bishop urged the necessity of support
ing Catholic newspapers.
Il see" he said, "the latest novels in
the parlor, but they tell me that they
have the Catholic newspaper in the bed
room. 1t may be So"
Bishop McFaul claimed that the leak
age of the Catholic Church in America
has amounted to 5000. 900 souls. He
estimates the annual number of con-
versions throughout the United States
at $1,000.

The following morning he called

kNIGHTLY DRAMA
SCORES NEW HIT
Warwick's Successor Wins
Praise for Clever Work at
Valencia Theater
Proceeds OF Performance Go to
Treasury of Veteran Fire
mans Association

Robert Homans was the cynosure Of
all eyes at the Valencia theater last
night, in the production of when
Knighthood Was in Flower" because.
upon days notice, he had taken the
place of Robert Warwick. deposed.
Homans took the leading part in the
romantic play several years ago. and
despite the suddenness of his assign
ment, was a remarkable Charles Bran
DON
There was a sort of hardening back
to the old days at the Valencia, for
the proceeds of the evening went into
the treasury of the Veteran fireman's
association for the purpose of con-
structing new home for that organi-
zation, and the theater was filed with
veteran firemen and their friends.
The difficulties following a shakeup
among members of the company van
ished with single rehearsal, for the
production last night bore no trace of
the troubles of the previous day, that
had gone on behind the curtain. For
Miss Blanche Stoddard. the leading
woman, when Knighthood Was in
Flower" was a difficult production. 1t
called for her presence upon the stage
at every moment, and right well did
she portray the frivolous, frantic and
erratic madcap princess Mary Tudor,
of whom English history has much to
say. Robert Homans may not be the
handsome actor that Warwick is. but
he is clever and equal to all occasions.
Last nights production called for the
exertion of much artistic ability, and
Homans accomplished all that would
have been exacted of Warwick.
Thomas MacLarnie was an ideal King
Henry VIII, and in his hands that blunt
character lost none of its despicable-
ness.
The duke of Buckin CHAM, clever in
triguer and perfdious confidant OF
the court of England and later of
France. was we'll portrayed by George
b. Baldwin Jr. To Charles Dow Clark
was assigned the role of Will Sommers,
King Henry's jester, and 1t was MS
hurtful duty to dispense the hardened
wit of the year 1913: yet, In spite or
