Filipino students brought to the United States to study were originally not placed in any Catholic universities or colleges, in spite of their Catholic faith. William A. Sutherland explained this in a letter to Joseph A. Weber by saying that while institutions like Notre Dame and Georgetown were considered as possible locations for the students, they were rejected due to their expense. The author of the article expresses their doubt that these institutions were going to charge students more than $500 each, which is their maximum annual expenditure. An addendum to the article states that after a conference between William A. Sutherland and Colonel Clarence Ransom Edwards has resulted that fifteen Filipino students will be sent to Notre Dame University and its associated schools.
