A clipping from the Tufts Weekly appearing in another portion of these columns announces the most spicy solution of the compulsory Chapel problem to be found in recent collegiate annals. No longer will puzzled Deans knot their brows over the baffling question of just how religious Mr. So-and-so may be; a momentary reference to the files of the records office will be sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt just the intensity of godly devotion which exists in the soul of any undergraduate.

It is better perhaps not to consider the fate of the always possible naughty boy who by a miscalculation or the failure of the alarm clock rates the abhorred FF. Shunned by his believing classmates, his allowance cut-off mayhap from home, he is left only the chance of staying in a game with a double ante.
