It is gratifying to notice the tone which has been taken by the canvassers for the proposed religious building. In the discussion which followed the original proposal for a religious building there were two rather decided and conflicting opinions expressed; one that none but strictly religious societies should be allowed in the building, and the other that great prominence should be given to such societies representing the social and humane interests of the college as the Philosophical Club, Graduate Club, O. K., Signet and the like. Between these two extremes the canvassers have taken a middle course. While recognizing the building as primarily to foster and promote the religious interests of the college, they have avoided the danger of shutting off these interests wholly from the rest of the college, by opening the building "for any purposes which may not interfere" with the religious interests. In this way it is to be hoped that an impetus will be given to the religious societies, and at the same time they may have such contact with some of the other higher interests of the college as will prove of lasting and broadening benefit.
