Putting aside such minor considerations as the personal annoyance caused the students, and the danger of attending services held in a cold chapel, we deny the moral right of the authorities of a college to whip men into chapel when they are unwilling to attend. Men do not come to college to learn how to pray: as a rule, we think, they are quite capable of attending to their private devotions without any assistance. Students who are old enough for voluntary recitations are fully capable of responsibility on matters of religion. This, too, is generally recognized. The sole reason...
...much further than merely to deny the moral right of forcing men into chapel. We ascribe to this very cause much of that infidelity for which Harvard has become notorious. The impression is current in the outside world that it is equivalent to sacrificing a man's religious belief to send him to Cambridge; and it is with a bitter sense of humiliation that we confess this impression to be partially founded on fact. Not that there is any great amount of open infidelity here; not that a large proportion of men lose their faith. But that a freethinking tendency...
...glad to see that the college authorities have taken a step in the right direction in regard to lighting the entries of the college buildings during the evening.

...next attempt to score was made by Richards, who caught the ball on the 35 yard line, and carried it back ten yards to let Terry try for a goal from the field. The try was a failure, but a fine pass across the field by Bayne, landed right in Robinson's arms. He was playing outside of Hurd and made a fine run until tackled by Peabody at the 5 yard line. From the "down," Bayne, with the ball, dashed through an opening in our rush line and scored behind the posts. Richards kicked the third goal...
...dentist. It has become recognized, however, as an established custom for every class to have their pictures taken, and to this end a photographic committee is selected whose duties, even when ably seconded by the class, are no light burden. Now we ask you, members of '85, is it right or fair to the committee which you have elected, to sit quietly in your rooms and calmly read their notices and then proceed to calmly ignore them? Your pictures must be taken or an old established custom will be given up. The sooner you make your appointments, the better...
