...many and beclouded issues of the preliminary arguments caused an inactivity which was prolonged with the coming of the House Plan. Annoyed by this inertia it was finally decided to apply the panacea and build the chapel.

However, the present agitation has caused many new suggestions to be offered, all of which might might be considered. The 600 odd signers of the CRIMSON petition, which was originally proferred by a member of the faculty, have proven their opposition and have mentioned many possible substitutions. It is practically certain that all the protest purely against the chapel will avail nothing. The time for destructive criticism is at an end. Too much...
