The Chapel Question at Yale.

COMMENT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The News is not opposed to daily Chapel.

Daily Chapel is too successful, too sacred, too traditional to be opposed by anyone. It has received a vote of favor from every Senior class (excepting 1919) since the institution of Senior statistical blanks. Quite apart from the spiritual benefit that can be derived from Chapel (and there are those who do benefit spiritually despite the compulsion theory), Chapel has three other advantages any one of which would furnish sufficient grounds for its permanent retention:

(1). Chapel is indispensible as a rising bell for 8.10 classes.

(2). Chapel is a great social institution. Here one meets his friends and exchanges the cheery "hello," that starts the day right.

(3). Chapel is valuable as a course in the literature of the Bible. --Yale News.
