EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - BY no small number of the undergraduates will your suggestion as to the conduct of the chapel services be received with favor. The complete absence of the preachers' personality from the service has long been deplored in more quarters than one, and it seems rather remarkable that no attempt has been made by the preachers themselves to remedy it. Dr. Hale, however, on one occasion at least, made a brief comment on the scripture read. And here, I think, should be the place for the preacher's words, if he is to speak at all.

There are not a few passages in the scripture which would gain new meanings and new beauties from an exposition, however short, from our preachers. In several of the great English schools such expositions are regularly made.

Obviously the only objection to the whole plan lies in the extra time required. Certainly an increase of ten minutes in the length of the Chapel service would be deemed too great a change by many. But much may be said in five minutes or less and the time might be gained by the use of shorter musical selections and the briefer psalms. At any rate there can be no better time for beginning this change than during the preaching of Dr. Brooks.
