There are two or three annoying circumstances which occur in Appleton Chapel Sunday evenings. In the first place, the gas lights which are placed around the side of the gallery are exceedingly disagreeable to those who sit up there. The heat and glare arising from the jets are such as to compel any one who consults his own comfort to hold a book before him or something of the sort to keep the light from his face. This evil could be easily reme died if the college authorities would take the matter in hand and put globes about the jets. Another source of annoyance, accompanied often with a cold, are the draughts which come from the windows in the gallery. When these are left open, cold currents of air rush in on the unprotected backs of unfortunate listeners. The third subject needing attention is the noise which regularly proceeds from a knot of small boys who select with particular care seats near the choir. This is done with the intention of distracting the attention of the choir boys by winking at them and keeping up a perpetual flow of talking and whispering. These boys should be taught to be quiet or be excluded from the chapel.
