To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
Sirs: As to the question of the Regiment's manoeuvering on Sunday, Professor Hocking's letter expressed the injustice of it. Yet the members went on their own responsibility and consent; and while the marches doubtlessly offended many of the laity, they had not yet interfered with the liberty of the men themselves. But now the regimental government has made compulsory two Sunday exercises, on the 21st and the 28th. It points out that this time is no more than equivalent to the time which the problems, to which we agreed, should have demanded. But then we agreed to a task distasteful to none; now we are directed to do what some of us would oppose. And then the announcement apologetically says that these exercises are "mandatory." Whether they are advisable or no, the Commander should be slow to acquire the reputation for having violated the rights of the men who volunteered for drills carefully prescribed in time. A MEMBER OF THE REGIMENT.
