...given in Sanders Theatre. When the Historical Society gave its war lectures two years ago, the theatre was used for the concluding evenings, and gave general satisfaction. With this as a precedent, there is no reason why Dr. Brooks should be compelled to address his audience in a room whose size is wholly inadequate for this purpose...
...essays Matthew Arnold writes: "Who will deny that Oxford, by her ineffable charm, keeps ever calling us nearer to the true goal of all of us, to the ideal, to perfection? Adorable dreamer, whose heart has been so romantic! Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!"

This year the same thing is being done. No longer do we have the privilege of listening to able preachers, whose words have done so much to inspire the men who hear them. We have heard words of regret spoken on every side by students who miss the Sunday evening exercises in Appleton Chapel. We sincerely hope that the faculty does not intend to discontinue wholly this time-honored custom...
