The wisdom and common sense of this action, no right thinking man :an doubt. It is an old and true saying that “one man can lead a horae to water, but ten can’t make him drink.” One small rule in the inatniel may force students to at tend chapel, but a slack of rules as high as the tower of Italiel, and a Board of Trustreea as great in num ber as the army of Xerzes, cannot force them to i mbihe religion. Compulsory chapel was a blot upon the spotless record of our Alma Mater, a disgrace to civilization. It is dead. *Hrquinaoit in jxire” Trustees and Alumni.
