LAYMEN TO a.. MANAGE THE
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY.


GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY.
In honor of the board of regents
Of Georgetown University a reception
will be given at the University on the
afternoon of February 18th. Invi-
tations have been sent to the Presi-
dent. the vice-President, Speaker
Clark. all members of Congress. the
judiciary and to about 5000 others.
The event will mark in a general
way. an innovation after 1875 years
Of the University. by which laymen
are taken into its management.
Formerly only Jesuits were members
of the board of regents, and Rev
erend Alphonsus Donlon. s. j., Pres
ident of the University, has brought
about the change.
PRESIDENT VETOES IMNlIGRA-
TION BILL.
President Wilson vetoed the i'm
migration bill and sent special mes
sage to Congress, declaring he dis
approved the measure because Of the
literacy test in the bill. The Pres
ident said:
1.-THE right of political asylum has
brought to this country many a man
of noble character and elevated pur-
pose, who was marked as an outlaw
in his own less fortunate land, and
who has yet become an ornament to
our citizenship and to our noble
councils. The children and the CON-
patriots of these illustrious Ameri-
cans must stand amazed to see the
representatives Of their nation now
resolved in the fullness of our ma
tional strength and at the maturity
Of our national institutions, to risk
turning such men back from our
shores without test of quality or pur-
pose."
The President also stated that the
American people had never passed
upon the issue involved.
Representative Burnett of the I'm
migration Committee of the House,
to which the measure was referred,
will move that the bill be passed over
the executive veto.
This is the third time an immigra-
tion bill, containing a restrictive lit
eracy test has been vetoed; First by
President Cleveland: next by Pres
ident Taft, and now by President
Wilson. Twice Congress failed TO
override the presidential disapprov-
al, and leaders in the House contend
that the veto should not be consid-
cred until there has been time for
reflection.
