EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Among the many trite and wearisome subjects which have been commented upon in your columns with varying success, there is one in regard to which all efforts would seem to have been unavailing. I allude to the moral so often drawn from the "old, old story" of Town and Gown. According to a little squib which perpetually appears in that weekly publication, the University Calendar, the front seats in Appleton Chapel are always (?) reserved on Sunday evenings for students alone until 7.30, at which hour all vacant seats will be filled by the surplus Cambridge people. How many complaints have been made, whereof the purport is that on Sunday evening last there was a great rush from the high-ways and byways of this classic town to Appleton Chapel, where Dr. Brooks was to preach-that even before the hour specified all the seats except a very few near the front were filled-mainly with Cambridge citizens. The complainants go on to assert that many students were obliged either to stand at the very back of the chapel or to go away, for lack of sufficient space in which to bestow themselves. Now Appleton Chapel was built for Harvard College and for the use of Harvard students. Eminent preachers are engaged to come here and talk to us, and the more eminent the preachers are, the better pleased are we to hear them. By courtesy-misplaced it would seem-the college authorities have extended the privilege of hearing these clergymen in Appleton Chapel to the people of Cambridge. But the people of Cambridge wrongfully abuse this privilege by crowding out those who have the right. When even an ultra-conscientious man goes to chapel and gets treated in this way, it is small inducement for him to go again to be hustled and crowded and forced to stand in a draught throughout the service. It is to be hoped that some amendment may be made to the rule by which people are seated in the chapel.
