Harvardrs President Emeritus Says
Symbols and Rites Also Need
Brushing Up.

Boston, May a.-Charles W. Eliot. presi-
dent emeritus OF Harvard. wants all the
religious creeds reinterpreted.
Not only creeds. hut symbols and
rites of the Christian church. need brush
ing up: they are rusty and some even
moth-eaten." he saws in a statement
published in the current number of the
Christian Register. the Unitarian weekly
of Massachusetts.
THE ancient creeds and dogmas are
full of ideas about God. which civilized
man rejects as unworthy. In this re-
spect the old creeds and dogmas, can of
course. be reinterpreted from generation
to generation. and in the evangelical de-
nominations a remarkable amount of re-
Interpretation is now being done.
I'm these professions of reinterpreta-
ton. however the original conceptions
are apt to disappear. and there is some
times reasonable doubt in regard to the
effects of such interpretations on the
mental habits of the interpreters"

Frederick w. Lehman. OF st. Louis.
Solicitor General OF the United States

The President also conferred yesterday

Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes was
likely to be the third representative.
Former Mayor Baker. Of Cleveland, was
favorably considered, but has been elimi-
