...observed with much satisfaction that the students were beginning to take the initiation in the abolition of college prayer, so far as relates to compulsory attendance. Their neglect to do so hitherto has been very discoursing to me in my guerrilla warfare on the regulations during the past two years, and I had been planning to prepare a memorial, signed by myself alone, for the coming meeting of the overseers. But now comes your note of yesterday, and I gladly yield the floor to those who are better entitled...
...with a sense of hopelessness that we speak again on the subject of chapel going, for the only return that the protests of the students have received hitherto is a contemptuous silence. We state definitely, that we have full sympathy with any attempt to do away with compulsory attendance at prayers.

This last performance, however, equals the best feats of silliness on record...

This particular vote shows a greater revolt than do the votes of the other classes against the hitherto predominant political party. To carry such a vote, then, in the procession would be to violate the previously agreed understanding of the class. It would be, besides, a disregarding of the previous college custom not to turn the parade to political ends, and would serve as an unfortunate precedent...
