...seats except a very few near the front were filled-mainly with Cambridge citizens. The complainants go on to assert that many students were obliged either to stand at the very back of the chapel or to go away, for lack of sufficient space in which to bestow themselves. Now Appleton Chapel was built for Harvard College and for the use of Harvard students. Eminent preachers are engaged to come here and talk to us, and the more eminent the preachers are, the better pleased are we to hear them.

We trust that we need simply mention this fact without enforcing its significance and the remedies for it by mighty arguments. The course to be pursued is too axiomatic in its plainness to admit of demonstration...
