Some surprise has been expressed that the seating capacity of Appleton Chapel proved so small last Sunday evening. Students had been informed by bulletin that seats would be reserved for them until half-past seven, but those who trusted to the announcement of the bulletin found, upon investigation, that the doors had been locked at ten minutes past the hour. We do not wish to criticise this action, but we cannot feel that to deprive the students of the opportunity to hear a sermon preached presumably to them in order that our suburban friends might occupy their places is much of an advancement in the fostering of a spirit of devotedness in Harvard students. Nothing could please a Harvard student more, perhaps, than the anomaly of a crowded chapel, but he asks that at least he may be allowed to be present to witness it.
