EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -The following extract from an editorial in the New York Evening Post for Nov. 18th, may be of interest to such of your readers as have not already seen it. Speaking of an effort which Cardinal Newman made, while at Oxford, to abolish a rule which forced every undergraduate to take the sacrament regularly, the writer proceeds as follows:

"There is, however, really no more impropriety in compelling an irreverent young man to take the communion, no matter what he may think or feel about it, than to attend daily public prayers. The former is, undoubtedly, more shocking in its external aspect, but both are acts of worship, and to anybody who remembers what religious people consider worship to be, there can be no difference worth mention, between compulsory performance in one case, and in the other. Compulsory communion has long been given up in England, both for young and old, and people look back on it, now, with horror, as they will here, we have no doubt, in American colleges on compulsory prayer by mocking or sleepy youths."
