...affords but little consolation to the Harvard student who grieves over the present system of compulsory chapel attendance in vogue at this college, to think that the students at other colleges in general are worse situated in this respect than we ourselves are. It is but a melancholy satisfaction at best to contemplate the case of the Williams student, regularly driven to two chapel services a day - morning and evening - or of those others who have to hurry, winter and summer, at 7 o'clock or earlier every morning to the cold precincts of the college chapel.

The tariff question is not to be settled by any such considerations as that. The protectionists get lachrymose. They are grieved that there is not more respect for autiquity.
