STEP FORWARD, PLEASE

To the earnest souls in Western colleges who are reported to be praying for Harvard's spiritual welfare the news that Appleton Chapel is to be reserved wholly for members of the University next Sunday must come as a welcome answer to their pleadings. But to the student who has found a cloak-room jam at every door of the Chapel whenever Dr. Fosdick was to speak the announcement comes rather as evidence of a true spirit of brotherhood among University authorities. Perhaps the only persons to feel disgruntled are those residents of Cambridge who have so far forgotten their college habits as to rise early Sunday mornings and so take advantage of sleepy students. Yet inasmuch as they are for the most part unoppressed by "estrictions they may welcome this one office decree as reminiscent of college life.
