Expressions of seemingly complete satisfaction with the present system of compulsory chapel have recently appeared in some of the college papers. The writers seem to assume that the removal of the more objectionable features of the service, brought about this year, and the greater interest and respect aroused thereby, have also caused the removal of all grounds for objection to the system on theoretical grounds that had been previously urged. We do not believe this to be the case. The improvements in the method of conducting, and the changes in the hour for holding, the service have indeed been complete...
...make no pretense of any special knowledge of college finances which would justify us in offering any positive opinions on the matter, but for all apparent reasons it would seem to be one of the best financial investments the university could make to build another college dormitory. There is certainly need for one - the excessive demand for rooms in the present buildings, and the apparent willingness of students to pay any charge for rent, however exorbitant, is sufficient evidence of that.

Of course there is no peculiar charm or virtue in one age over another, but, as we have said, if a limit must be set somewhere, the age of twenty-one and the junior class would seem to be a more natural limit than that which now prevails. However, for the matter of that, it is altogether impossible to see any satisfactory reason why attendance should be compulsory at all for any class. The caution used by the authorities in granting these concessions is, we think, extreme...
...reports of the efforts being made by the men in training for the approaching inter-collegiate sports are very gratifying, and seem to indicate yet again the continually increasing interest of the university in general athletics. Such an interest is in every way commendable, and its marked appearance at this college is, we think, indicative of a growing tendency among college men in general to devote themselves more than ever before to a cultivation of systematic physical growth and of gymnastic exercises. In the present case, however, the chief thing is to be assured that the present industry in training...
