EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Will you kindly allow room for a subject offered to the consideration of our enlightened and progressive faculty. If Sunday services at the chapel are to be voluntary hereafter, what use can there be in ringing the bell? It seems unconsiderate that the meditations of those unwilling to go, should be disturbed, as long as attendance is not compulsory, while, on the other hand, those who do intend to go need no such reminder of the hour. Such a nuisance would not be tolerated in a city. The advantage to '86 as ringing the curfew for them, must be foregone. Therefore it is, that while recognizing Prof. Jones' artistic abilities, and realizing that his efforts to expound the science of bell-ringing give pleasure to all on other occasions, yet it is humbly urged and petitioned to the faculty that Sunday evening chapel bell-ringing may be stopped.
