Place for the College.
The place of the college, then, Of
collegiate EDUCATION, is to save prac-
ticality from narrowness efficiency
from inadaptability, eeialization
from unicenteredness. and to keep the
elective system from going TO seed. IL
should give a solid foundation TO life
and TO make possible the erection or
a noble superstructure In the way Of
practical, efficient. special training for
the vocation OF our choice, English,
history, mathematics, ancient IAN
guages. philosophy. science, natural
and social--all must have their place
in the college that does its full duty
by its pupils. 1t IS place that can
not be left empty, for, il II is, the
superstructure will topple To- ruin
eventually. The foundation is as
necessary to stability in education as
in architecture. It il the place of
the college to lay this foundation. firm
and solid, broad and enduring. The
education that encourages specialize

the college Is like the architecture

"A work that IL not SO spectacular as
that Of building skyIights, minarets,
and fancy gables. but more necessary
and fundamental without exception.
The real claim Of the college to es-
TEEN and respect is the sense OF per

yates. There is no denying the fact
that In the man who has spend four
wears in college il developed "a per-

Mrs. Henry w. Taft Received
Into Roman
by Father Vaughan.
LONG CONTEMPLATED.
Has Been Episcopalian, but Is
Now in Church of st. lg-
j. natius Loyola.
LONG CONTEMPLATED.

Mr.. Henry w. Taft. President Taft's
sis~ter-in-law. has left the Episcopal
Church and become a Roman Catholic.
She was received into the Catholic
Church last week by Father Bernard
Vaughan. tho English Jesuit. at the
Students Chapel of st. 1gnatius LoyQla's
Church, Park avenue and Eighty-fourth
street.
Father Vaughan Is credited with hav-
ing brought about Mrs. Taft's change
Of faith. She was formerly a high
church ~Episcopalian and a communicate
at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin
In West Forty-slxth street. although she
was seen frequently a: st. Patrck's
Cathedral. Father Vaughn. It Is under
stood. was an acquaintance OF several
years standing. and friends Of Mrs. Taft
say she had contemplated the step FOR
a long time.
After long study OF doctrlnal difer-
ences, Mrs. Taft made her new profess
sion of faith, and received conditional
baptism In the Church of 81. Ignatlus
Loyola. Confession followed in the pri-
vate chapel Of the rectory. and Mrs.
Taft then partook OF her first Roman
Communion.
The Taft no. ne being at No. 3s West
Forty-eighth street, In the limits OF the
Cathedral parish. she probably will at
tend services at the Cathedral. Her re-
ception into the Catholic Church took
place at st. Ignatius. because Father
Vaughan makes his HON In the parish
house there when In the city. He Is In
Washington to-day.
Mr.. TAFT Is a Unitarian. az IL The
President. Their parents and grand
parents were likewise Unitarians. The
three Henry W Taft children. WD-
bridge s. TAFT. william Howard Taft1l.
and Mrs. George IL. Snowden. are oil
