...courts were built to give the baseball men a chance to keep in training during the winter months. Certainly no game is better adapted to cultivate agility and endurance. During the present winter, however, I have never found anybody in them, though I have used them almost daily; and it does not appear that that they have ever been used to any extent, except perhaps in the spring.

This appalling state of affairs is one of the principal facts upon which outsiders base their judgment that Harvard men are non-religious. But, though this may seem to the casual observer the natural conclusion, we think that the true explanation of most of the absences from chapel is carelessness and unwillingness to sacrifice a few minutes. Many men have never taken the trouble to go inside the Chapel. It is not because they...
