Courage Unavailing

There followed an unparalleled ef-
fort to save the boys life, in which
the most important factor was the
indomitable courage the patient him
self displayed. But without avail.
It is sixty-two years since Tad
Lincoln died in the arms of his
father in the White House. Not
since then has a President in Office
lost a son in death.
There was a hush over the execu-
tive mansion today. Servants and
secret service men moved softly
about, talking only in whispers.
Z The COOlidges were trying to show
as little as possible Of their grief
From the very first they nave felt
the loss Of Calvin Jr. is a personal
family affair. So it was not as
President and first lady Of the land
that they mourned, but as bereaved
father and mother. And they wished
10 be alone.
Doctors said today that Calvin Jr.
lived hours longer than they had
thought possible, sustained by his
own courage when every one gave
up hope
Blood transfusions, injections of
saline solutions, all the knowledge
and skill Of medical science were
brought to bear in vain.
Sense Of Death
Monday night the sense of death
enshrouded the great military hos
pital where 500 invalid soldiers lay
in wards surrounding that of the
son Of their commander in chief.
The corridors wers empty and quiet,
while outside a crowd of anxious
watchers stood in the darkness with
pale faces upturned toward the third
floor windows of the room where
the President and the boys mother
stood at his bedside.
E T. Clark, the Presidents per
sonaI secretary. was the inter
mediary between the sick room and
the newspapernen who were send
ing the news to the anxious world.
'The Boy Is Dying
At 1855 he brought out word: THE
boy is Dying" But for nearly three
hours more young Calvin clung 10
life. Then at 1888 Clark, his face
gray with the fatigue and sorrow
of the long vigil he had kept at The
elbow of his chief, appeared to nod
his head and say, It's all over"
A few minutes later the parents
came down the hospital corridor.
Nurses. doctors and orderlies stood
by at military attention, their faces
mute with sympathy. The President
looked straight before him, his face
drawn and pale, his lips compressed,

All Loved Him

Secret service men, secretaries, all
the White House attaches today
were bowed in personal grief as
much as in sympathy for the be-
reaved parents and brother. Calvin
had been a particular favorite with
all who had known him. The tall
somewhat frail boy had an engaging
personality which won friends.
Throughout the last five days all
had prayed he would win out.
The President moved about today
as if in a daze. Inarticulate as
usual. unable apparently to give
vent to his sorrow which might OBJ
tain him some measure of relief,
he was at grips with his agony. He
was known to have counted much
upon his sons. Their training and
character building was his first
thought
Throughout the Illness of Calvin
the President conducted himself with
the fortitude of his New England
temperament. On the Fourth Of
July, his own ffty-second birthday,
he delivered an address to the Ma
tional Education convention with a
rare courage that concealed the fact
his son was already dangerously i'll.
But after that he made hardly a pre-
tense of working other than to at
tempt now and then to do something
to occupy his mind.
When the time came to begin the
vigil at the hospital he was con-
stantly near his son, sustaining Mrs.
Coolidge and inspiring the boy to
new efforts. Once on Saturday night
watchers below saw his form
silhouetted against the light window
Of the room. He had just entered
to see Calvin after an operation. He
stood gazing down in SILENCE at the
form Of his son.
The blood poisoning from which
Calvin died originated from a blister
which he wore on the great toe of
his right foot while playing tennis
on the White House courts last
Monday. The blister broke and the
way was opened to infection.
In boyish fashion the lad, even
after the spot became Redeemed and
angry, paid no attention to it. Thus
neglected the poison worked it's dead
ly way gradually into his system.

Officials to Meet in New York This
Week on Medical Dental and
+ Dormitory Project.

DIRECTED BY COMMITTEE
Endowment Drive Getting General
Support From Alumni.

Plans for launching the new build
ing program at Georgetown Uni
-erSity VIII be formulated at l. 5osi-
ness meeting of university officials
this week in New York city.
The first step in the program, which
aims ultimately at concentrating all
the university buildings on the Hill
top. calls for the erection of a new
medical and dental building and a
new dormitory for college students.
Rev. John b. Creeden, S. j., presi-
dent Of Georgetown University. last
night announced the committee which
will have charge of arrangements for
the building program in connection
with the university'S endowment t
drive, which is meeting with marked
support from alumni generally. In
addition to President Creeden the
committee consists of Rev Peter
Archer, s. j.. treasurer of the uni
verSIty; George r. Hamilton of Wash
lngton and James A Farrell of New
York. both regents of the university.
1t is hoped TO be able to break
ground for the new buildings in time
for them to be ready for occupancy

lastic year
VIII Eliminate Handicap.
In arranging for expansion of the
university the board of regents at a
recent meeting decided that the
greatest need at present is an ade-
quate building for the medical and
dental schools, which are now occu-
pying old and cramped quarters at
$50 H street northwe west. BY locating
the new building in the proximity of
the Georgetown University Hospital
d great handicap would be overcome.
The diamond jubilee of the medical
school will be celebrated in 1926, the
year the new building is supposed to
be completed. The medical school
was founded in 1851 by Joshua
Rtchie. 30, who was assisted by a
number of prominent Washington
physicians
The need for d new college dormi-
tory has long been apparent. il is
stated, and dye to the present lack
oi accommodate several hundred
students are turend away at the col
lege each year.
