Charles Price, Preacher to the University after Rabbi Ben-Zion Gold of Hillel House told him that it was difficult to find a hall large enough to house the Reform services, one of three sets of services held for the Holy Days. Price said yesterday that he discussed the matter with President Pusey, but that the decision was his own.

John Sutherland Bonnell found a fitting maxim for the occasion, a line from an old temperance song that admonished, "Have courage, my boy, to say no." It was high time, he said, for an old preacher to go dry fly-fishing in the streams of his native Prince Edward Island.

For the occasion, he produced another appropriate phrase: "When one sees...
