...results of compulsion? There are in every college class students who would attend chapel and church if the rules did not require them to do so. They are active in prayer meetings and other religious work that is optional, so to speak. Compulsion is to them no hardship. They do not fully understand the feelings of those who protest against it, nor do they take into account the inevitable effect of compulsion in the minds of those who unwillingly submit. It is from those who do not feel the weight of compulsion that instructors are selected, who are in course...

When a Harvard student has been up the greater part of the night bedaubing with black paint the bronze statue of the founder of the institution, or painting in the same fashion the name of his class on the outside of the chapel, it is a hardship to make him rise in the morning and go to prayers.

The action of the Harvard delegates at last year's meeting, in heading a movement for Dartmouth's expulsion is liable to be interpreted by outsiders as the result of pique, because Harvard was defeated by such...
...cage at the busiest time, while the crews are using one-half, and appropriate all that remains. The remedy should be, that crews and nines should all follow in regular order and never use more than the set of weights on one side. This would be no great hardship to them as they could easily schedule their weight exercise so that no clashing would occur and their weights be used continuously for a little longer portion of the afternoon. This arrangement would leave half of the weights always free for the use of anyone, and with such provision the unattached...
