...discontinuance of morning prayers," and James Freeman Clarke, "the liberal of the liberals," for "protesting against removing the requirement of attendance on public worship. Both these gentlemen," it continues, "are doubtless aware that however much a student is required to attend chapel, . . . . the requirement has very little effect on his habits in those respects during after life. Neither of them would dream of requiring him, after he has graduated, to attend church, . . . . and very likely neither of them would think any the worse of him for not attending.
