...nose out Boston College 2 to 1. Last night against the B. A. A. the two teams played till well after midnight, and were forced to stop at the fourth overtime period after 85 minutes of play, with the score dead-locked, 3-3. So if past performances mean anything, this evening's program should be a lengthy...

The average daily chapel attendance of one hundred indicates that there are at least that many who are genuinely interested in chapel services--and nothing else. It is true that at many colleges, the chapel attendance is compulsory, but this does not mean that there would be a smaller proportion of those student bodies at morning chapel if attendance were not compulsory.
