Appleton Chapel has been a fruitful subject for editorial dissertation for so long that almost every possible aspect has been not only covered, but buried under the weight of philosophical argument and all kinds of analysis. But there are several remarks about the Christmas carol services which it is necessary to make. A keen observer, by reading a few of the signs posted in conspicuous places, might have discovered that the ground floor was reserved for the "Faculty and friends," and for "Students and friends," while the gallery was reserved for "Harvard and Radcliffe students only."

Sweeping changes are being contemplated in the business end of the show. Under the general supervision of Mr. Silvers the management of the various departments will take on a more professional aspect than in the past.

Improved methods may be looked for, and some commonly used, which are injurious to health, could be reduced. Likewise, abortions, estimated (though of course no reliable statistics are possible) at from 500,000 to 2,000,000 yearly in the U. S. would be reduced if preventive methods were more freely available...
