...clock, to spend fifteen minutes in the chapel before going to recitations, and if it doesn't, where does the grievance come in? The old custom of compelling attendance at morning prayers should not be abolished without weighty reasons. Harvard's reputation for remissness about religious matters is bad enough already...
