The first vesper service of the year will be held in Appleton Chapel this afternoon at 5 o'clock. As is the custom at the opening of the season, the service will be almost entirely musical. The choir of St. Paul's Church, Boston, will assist the chapel choir in rendering Garrett's Harvest Cantata. To all students who have been in the University before this year these services need no word of comment. To new comers among us it may be interesting to know that the services are held every Thursday during term time through the winter. They are purposely made short and simple in character and are not intended to be strict services of worship, but rather to serve as pleasant breaks in the monotony of the long winter weeks. To carry out this idea there is a great deal of music and a very short address by some well known preacher, whose coming, however, is not announced beforehand. The services are open to the public and are always very largely attended on pleasant days. In all the religious life of the University there is nothing more elevating and more inspiring, and the attendance this year will doubtless be no exception to the rule of former years.
