THE "SCHOOL FOR
GENTLEMEN."
“Our colleges should keep out the men
who go there for fun or because It Is the
fashion, Instead of encouraging them to
enter," declared Prof. George W. Klrch
wey, dean of tho Columbia Law school.
lie sharply criticised the plan suggest,
ed by President Nicholas Murray Bn tie;
for a “school for gentlemen" In Columbia.
"You cannot make silk purses out of
pigs’ ears and there is no use trying,"
<on tinned Dean Klrchwcy. "It is not
fair to the serious students to be handi
capped by associations with those who
come to college for football games, Junior
'prom' week and social functions. It may
do the latter some good, as President
Butler says, to be thrown In an Intellec
tual atmosphere for four years. But there
Is no reason why we should waste tho
great funds endowed for lenrnlng, and
tho time of skilled teachers on them.
Lot .institutions or asylums bo provided
for them elsewhere.
"There Is a growing tendency for men
to come to college because It Is consid
ered fashionable. They have no Idea of
.becoming more intellectual or fitting
themselves to become more efficient citi
zens. They do the least possible work,
and have the most possible fun. They
take pleasure In being designated *col
lego men* and It gives them a certain
social standing. But they merely clog
the Institution. The instructors know
they are paying full tuition and have to
direct thMr lectures nt the dullest rather
than nt the more Intellectual. Instruc
tion at tho law school has gone on a
hundred per cent more rapidly after the
elimination of the men who have no col-
U*go degree. It would go on 25 per cent
more rapidly If some of those who never
had the study habit wero eliminated."—

MRS. TAFT WILL AVOID
BIG FORMAL FUNCTIONS.
Mrs. Taft'* decision to delegate the
duties of hostess at the large formal
receptions or the winter to her visit
ing sister, Mrs. Eaughlln, is due to
the fear that the enormous physical
strain entailed by the big functions
would retard her recovery from the
nervous breakdown of Inst spring.
To Mrs. Taft's faithful adherence to
the regimen prescribed by her physi
cian 1* attributed her quick convales
cence. Although she has avoided big
“crushes” she Is much seen in public
these days and more frequently walk
ing than riding. Hardly a day passes
that she does not take a long walk
with some Intimate friend and she
frequently appears In the shopping
district, unrecognized by the throngs.
Her step is firm and her color good.
Notwithstanding she has decided
not to participate in the state dinners
and largo receptions of the winter
Mrs. Taft will resume her small nt
homes, which were such a pleasant
feature of White House life last spring
She will continue to receive visitors
by appointment several times each
week and to see her personal friends.
Mrs Taft's sister, Mrs. Thomas K.
Eaughlln of Pittsburg, who has been j
for several weeks a guest nt the White j
House, will act as hostess at tho form- i
al receptions. Mrs. I«aughlln is a wo- I
man of great personal charm.

First upon the list of famous series
appears Miss Aline von Barentzen
herself. She played “Variations”
from Beethoven, and ss perfect was
her technique that the whole audi
ence burst forth into cheers and en
thusiasm and applause.
The name Van Barentzen gave no
idea of the girl's nationality. But
inquiry brought forth the fact thar,
while of Dutch origin, she is of
American parentage. When this be
came known and was whispered
around the hall, applause broke forth
again with renewed enthusiasm.
Prince Galttzen, an octogenarian
Russian, who fought against General
de Galllfet at Sebastapol, kissed lit
tle Miss Aline on both cheeks when
she had finished playing.
