...inaugurated yesterday marks a revolution. The teachings of the Quakers have received support. Hereafter no one will be required to officiate, but each student will quietly meditate, and wait for the moving of the spirit. In order to accomplish this revolution, a few more changes are necessary. Abolish the boy choir, do away with ringing of the bell, strip the Chapel of its decorations, and finally remove the compulsory feature, and allow the Quaker-like spirit of devotion to manifest itself in its full voluntary aspect.
