Prefers That Position TO Practice Of
Law In Cincinnati.

Washington, Dec 1S.--President Taft
mas made up his mind to accept the
proffer of the Kent professorship of
law at Yale and probably will take up
his duties at New Haven, early. in the
spring,
The President was said, tonight. to
have determined upon accepting the
Yale professorship for several rea-
sons lie will not be restricted merely
to lectures TO Yale students but will
be permitted to lecture IL he desires
in other law schools or upon the plat
form, or to engage in any other ocot-
patton which he sees fit. II the Pres
ident returned to Cincinnati to resumes
law practice he felt that he would
have but little opportunity for prac-
tice He felt that he could not appear
in cases before the United States SUI
preme court because he has appointed
n majority of it's membership. He re-
membered when he thought of the law
that he had named many federal
Judges in Ohio before whom he might
have to argue cases and he believed
that about the only sort of practice
which he could take up would be in
ternational, and that he regarded as
uncertain.
At Yale the President will be in sur
roandings dear to him and Will be in
a position to engage IN almost any
sort of business in which he believes
IN ex-President cam fittingly engage.
The analogy between the Yale profess
serslip and Grover cleyeland's rela-
ton with Princeton appealed to Mr.
Taft strongly and when many of his
close friends and advisers wrote to
him approving his acceptance of the
chair at Yale he decided to take.
The President expects to- spend sew
erai weeks after March in Augusta,
Ga. where he has many friends and
has passed two Winter1 vacations.
New Haven, CT, Dec 1s.-The news
that President Taft has made up his
mind to accept the Kent prpfessorship
of law at Yale was received with keen
pleasure in Yale circles here. today.
President Arthur T. Hadlcs said he
was very glad the President had
made the decision and Dean Henry
