A wildly improbable rumor is afloat about the college conveying the story that a prominent member of the Harvard faculty asserts that the present is to be the last year of compulsory prayers at Harvard. We do not attach much credit to the story. Such a fact of course could be within the bounds of possibility, but we can see no reason why it should be considered probable. There is of course the chance that as the Harvard faculty grows narrower and more stringent in its ideas, the corporation will become more liberal and broad-minded,-that while the one is engaged in hedging athletics round with impossible restrictions, the other may be drifting towards a progressive policy in chapel regulations.
