...them in the Yard a few short years ago will feel a deep regret for the loss of a man whom they liked and respected, and a deep sympathy for his bereaved family. But in a more general sense this is a particularly significant Harvard loss, for Stone was lose his life in the war. We do much talking around the Yard about the war, taking sides (usually the same side) with earnest eloquence; but here was a fellow, happy, rich, strong, with a promising life before him, who did not hesitate to volunteer under a foreign banner and sacrifice...

Chapel, after all, is a frame of mind, and not a daily task. As a mental condition which does not begin at 8.45 o'clock nor cease at 9, but carries over through the entire day, it is an asset. Religion is not a state of coma, a pleasing reverie, but a positive and driving force. It is energy. If this is the case, the Chapel habit is at least worth investigating, whether it finally proves...
