...plea is not wholly utilitarian. There is no doubt but that an increased attendance would increase the significance and interest of the services while it would render the work of the preacher in charge doubly renumerative and fourfold more pleasant. It is not a question of material change of habit. Many of the law students could just as well (so far as their duties are concerned), attend chapel as the students of the college. They ought to feel as men above being urged to a duty so eminently manly and so unaccordance with the true University spirit. But if such...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - There was an editorial in your columns some time since which severely criticised the action of some members of the freshman class who made a habit of leaving recitation rooms in the middle of the hour. There is another thing constantly occurring that ought to be criticised even more harshly, - I mean the practice some men have made of leaving Sanders in the midst of the lectures that are frequently delivered there.

Few stop to think what an evil this is or to what it might lead; those who carry on this habit do so merely with a view to their own convenience. But we must look at it from a higher stand point, and perhaps an encouragement to that shirking and postponement of work which it cannot be our sober wish to see increase. Furthermore, it is a means by which...
