...graduates and undergraduates, in addition, circulated a broadside attacking the Chapel as a "useless memorial." The broadside claimed that "it is preposterous to believe that Jews, agnostics, and others can have any honest sympathy in a Protestant Memorial," and noted that "followers of the Roman Catholic faith are forbidden to worship in any but a formally dedicated church." Feeling ran high for a short time and then died down as the University maintained silence...
