...editorials of the Advocate which appears today ought to command the attention of all college men. The narrowness of the board walks and the misdemeanors of the freshmen in English A are unfortunate realities, but they are not new; the ungentlemanly behavior of certain men in the University chapel, however, is amore recent developement, and one which the Advocate does well to suggest should be promptly checked...
