...escape the objection to a memorial that is also a utility, that structure is a church. Harvard needs a new college church and this plan for a war memorial will satisfy that need. But a church invites to reverence and the contemplation of spiritual things; gratitude is an essential element in devotion; the treatment of the memorial chapel, which will form a part of the building, will be impressive and inspiring. This is an utterly different thing from such a utility as a memorial bridge, for instance, over which the multitudes scurry with no time for nor interest...
...Haven, Conn., May 22.--Yale must find an element of social solidarity to replace that which was lost when required chapel was abolished, according to the Yale Alumni Weekly. Editorially it suggests remedies to meet the situation, declaring that Harvard's solution of small college units, like those at Oxford and Cambridge, will not do. The Weekly also says that the Yale secret society system, which alone remains of elements of the Yale social life, is unequal to the demands of the present situation. The Weekly advances no constructive remedy, but says, in summing up the existing condition...
...referred last week to the need of finding some way to retain the old element of solidarity in undergraduate life, which was a feature of daily chapel that meant much to many Yale men. The question is of course, how we can regain that old solidarity under conditions where the very force of numbers is at the base of the problem. In the three classes of the college there now are over 1400 men, and as things are going there will be 1500 in the near future. Thirty years ago there were 1150 men in the four classes. There...
...close enough to undergraduate life to understand what the conditions really are. There are too many men, and the three years are too short, for general acquaintance; the tendency is therefore to split up into smaller units within a class, thus bringing into the situation another new element which, from the older point of view, is perhaps not quite satisfactory...
...ideal way to stage the intercollegiate quarter-mile event would be on a course without a bend, but such a plan is impracticable. The only scheme of conducting the event in lanes is fair to the competitors and yet not entirely satisfactory because the man-to-man element is diminished by the staggered starting marks. So long as the race is conducted under present conditions there is bound to be some jockeying, but I think it is to the credit of the I.C.A.A.A.A. competitors that the championship races down through the years have been fought in clean, manly fashion...
