Day of Prayer for Colleges.To the Editors of the Crimson:

May I use your columns to call attention to the fact that Thursday of this week is the annual Day of Prayer for Colleges? To one, a graduate of another institution where the day is always observed by special services, and has been a marked occasion many times in its history in its religious effect, it is a matter of regret that Harvard, the mother university of America. founded for the education of ministers of the Gospel, and the scene at present of so much practical religious activity, should ignore this day so generally observed and so rich a blessing in the past.

Surely the reason cannot be that Harvard disbelieves in prayer or doubts the need of prayer for the young men, yes also for the instructors with their large influence and responsibility, within her walls.

It may be too late for any observance of the day this year, but cannot something be done in this regard in future? At least Harvard men who believe in prayer and desire the divine blessing upon the University can observe the day individually. Many I believe will do this, and Harvard will not be forgotten by the churches whose sons are committed to her care.
