Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Subject(s): Catholics, Education, Philippines, School integration, Students, Foreign

Theodore Roosevelt is concerned about an apparent misunderstanding regarding the education of Filipino students at Catholic colleges. Filipino students interested in studying certain subjects which are not offered at Catholic colleges will be directed to the institutions that best fit their needs. Otherwise, Catholic Filipinos should be given the chance to go to Catholic colleges, and they should be boarded with Catholic families that are willing to receive them.
