The first Vesper Service of the year was held yesterday afternoon, and Appleton Chapel was crowded. The service was not, as the first one usually is, a choral service, but Professor Carpenter preached a short sermon from the text, "Be still, and know that I am God," taken from the Psalms.

It seems not to be understood by students that the same arrangements are made for their convenience in Appleton Chapel on Thursday afternoons as on Sunday evenings. Students unaccompanied and entering at the south side door, will find seats in the front half of the chapel until 4.55. Members of the University and their immediate families should enter at the north side door. Students accompanied by friends, and the general public, should enter at the front doors. At the service yesterday afternoon, many students entering at the front door were obliged to stand throughout the service, while there were vacant seats at the front part of the chapel.
