Conway, Katherine E.:
Boston, Mass(achusetts)
to Father D(aniel) E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Conway thanks Hudson for his interest which has been so large a factor in the awarding to her of the Laetare Medal. She saw Bishop McQuaid during a visit to New York in Easter week. Conway wishes Hudson could come to Boston for the reception her friends are preparing for her. Since she has had the full care of the Pilot she is very heavily burdened. On (James J.) Roche's departure for the consulate, no one was put in to help her out on the Pilot staff. It is true that for seven years previous to his departure, he had been a good deal of an invalid, and the Pilot suffered from his change of politics, as well as from other things. What a charming sketch of Father (Robert Hugh) Benson in the Ave Maria.

He thanks Hudson for sending him a copy of Father (Francis Aiden) Gasquet (O.S.B.)'s pamphlet on the question of Anglican Ordinations. Gairdner did not know he had written on the subject, still less of his discovery of important documents connected with it. He never cared to enter into the question and could always readily admit that Hudson's side had fair grounds for regarding their Orders as invalid. He did not think the arguments advanced in the bull of Leo XIII sufficient. Gasquet, however, has gone deeper into the matter than he was aware.

Stoddard's brother who has been the constant companion of their father, aged ninety-four, writes that their father grows weaker. Mrs. (P.F.) Ryan, a devout Catholic runs the hotel. She is a wealthy from Chicago and owns one of the large department stores in Chicago. Hudson is right; The Confessions of a R(eformed) P(oet)" is not suited to the Ave Maria. Next week Stoddard hopes to go to Santa Clara to see their Passion Play. Stoddard is glad that Pastor Villaflor likes the mission bell. Stoddard is praying for Scipione. If the Storers are to winter in Boston Stoddard hopes to visit them.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
The publicity his proposition received stirred up the bigots of the country, made the University (Cornell) cautions. McQuaid agrees that the present question of credits should not come up. McQuaid's views with regard to the need of Catholic education for boys and girls remain unchanged. Girls going to co-educational or women's non-Catholic Colleges will be barred from the sacraments, unless they are not responsible. McQuaid wants no controversy in the newspapers. He may or may not take cognizance of the Educational Convention which is to meet in Milwaukee in July. McQuaid will buy land near the grounds of Cornell University on which to erect least two competent professors of Philosophy and Medieval History. McQuaid does not think Rome will hinder the plan or will the Jesuits. McQuaid will be at Boston on the 17th for the conferring of the Laetare Medal on (Katherine E.) Conway. By Saturday the Hall of Theology at St. Bernard's will be ready for the water table. The roof must be on by November.

(Notre Dame, Indiana)
A friend of theirs, now a teacher in Phillips Academy was travelling two years ago through Indiana and lately remarked to Starbuck on the general inferiority of the Indiana Protestant Colleges. He declared Wabash College was on the level of Phillips Academy. Starbuck turns the copies of the Tablet and Ave Maria that Hudson sends him over to a lady and then to the Seminary library. The language used so largely by Irish Catholics against England is pathetic, but the Pittsburg Observer is as vulgar as any Irishman.

to Father (Daniel E.) Hudson, (C.S.C.):

There is a movement on foot to place a Protestant chaplain on the General Staff, as head of the Corps of Chaplains. Such a position would give him such powers over the chaplains as would be totally distasteful to Catholic priests. Waring thought the chaplain who is seeking the position to be a very broad minded man until he came to Cuba and served with him. He has done all he could to offset what Waring has tried to do for his men. Waring has been hampered at almost every step by Freemasonry. There is absolutely no need for this. At present each chaplain is under direct orders of the Secretary of War and each chaplain sends a monthly report to the Adjutant General in Washington. It is best that Hudson Publish this information without referring to its source.

McQuaid is not worried about the Cornell incident. He will initiate a plan that in time will be copied by many. The only Catholic University to compete with the non-Catholic ones in Notre Dame. Cornell has many professors and wonderful laboratories. If C(atholic) U(niversity) of America has been properly located and placed under proper practical and trained men, something might have come of it. C.U. does not disturb him. Its superiors will never openly antagonize him. McQuaid knows too much of its history, beginning with 3rd P(rovincial) C(ouncil) of Baltimore. When St. Bernard's (Seminary) charter was granted the officials of the University were dumb-founded. It was Bishop (Thomas) Conaty while at the University who sought to bring all educational institutions under its protection. St. Bernard's declared to send a representative to the convention of Seminaries and to have a paper read to on the use of Latin in seminaries. All that this Convention will do at Milwaukee will be quite harmless. The structural work at St. Bernard's is progressing very satisfactorily.

Cebu, P(hilippine) I(slands)
to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C.:
(Notre Dame, Indiana)
Hudson's appeal for the Fillipino students seemed to Hendrick to be a most happy and thoughtful word. The students sacrifice much in going to America. Their parents must bear the financial burdens and many of them have been very much impoverished. If the American priests could appreciate the fact that Filipino students, in general, make greater sacrifices to become priests than American students do, Hendrick is sure that Hudson's appeal would fall upon sympathetic ears. The Catholic Church in the Philippines is laboring under the greatest difficulties, Hendrick has just completed a visitation of his diocese and the poor priests he has met compare favorably with the clergy of any other country. His diocese has four students in the U.S. They were not sent there to get a better education, but to learn the English language that they may be better equipped to meet the new difficulties. If Hudson sees fir to send any money he can send it to Hendrick's brother Father Joseph W. Hendrick, Ovid, N(ew) Y(ork).
