EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Will you kindly allow room for a subject offered to the consideration of our enlightened and progressive faculty. If Sunday services at the chapel are to be voluntary hereafter, what use can there be in ringing the bell? It seems unconsiderate that the meditations of those unwilling to go, should be disturbed, as long as attendance is not compulsory, while, on the other hand, those who do intend to go need no such reminder of the hour. Such a nuisance would not be tolerated in a city. The advantage to '86 as ringing the curfew for them...
...shall be able to build our expectations upon what they are doing and not upon what they are said to have done. But, again, we can take today's work only as a promise, by no means as a realization of '86's full strength.

...study. Another department, however, which is receiving more due attention is the study of ancient art and its remains. Our courses are better and better illustrated each year by numerous casts and statues which fill the recitation halls, and we are almost daily promised fresh arrivals, which will allow us to decipher the inscriptions in the original and to examine the sources of all our knowledge. It is indeed pleasing to think that very soon American students will not feel it necessary for them to live abroad before they can truly come into the title of scholars...
