FRESHMEN AT APPLETON CHAPEL.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Over two hundred Freshmen turned out last evening to hear the speakers chosen to introduce 1915 to the opportunities and aims of Appleton Chapel. This very gratifying showing only goes to uphold our opinion that a great many Freshmen are misinformed as to the nature of Appleton Chapel and its ideals. As we pointed out yesterday, the preparatory school compulsory chapel does not, as a rule, cultivate a desire to continue attendance at morning prayers while in College. In order to show Freshmen the vast difference between the spirit of our service and that at most preparatory schools, just such talks as were given last evening are of the utmost advantage. We heartily endorse this sort of service and especially the spirit of the several Freshmen who did much to bring it about. We hope it means the establishment of a valuable precedent.
