...opponents and by the supporters of compulsory attendance at chapel, that it is simply a question of time when the services will become voluntary. The ingenuity of the Advocate in its crusade against the choir boys is certainly remarkable and worthy of a better cause. But we do not think that any talk about the "substitution of infant squeaks for manly groans" will have any perceptible effect upon voluntary prayers.

...meeting on Thursday night for the purpose of forming a shooting club was a success so far as the numbers and enthusiasm of those present are concerned, but we think a little friendly criticism of the action taken by the leaders of the movement may not be inappropriate.

The articles in question express, we think, the almost unanimous sentitiment of the university, and there seems to be every reason why we should encourage the growth of a sport that is at once so manly and so healthful, especially since being self-supporting, no pecuniary reasons can be urged against it. It would unquestionably be most advisable to have this club embrace all that portion of the students...
