For Whom the Bell Tolls

Residents of Kirkland House, many of whom had undoubtedly had rather heavy nights the night before, were rudely and untimely awakened at eight-thirty Sunday morning by the clamorous and insistent tolling of the Lutheran church bell up the street.

This is plainly the worst bell in the area. The Memorial Church bell, strident though it may be, maintains decent hours on Sunday and contains itself until eleven o'clock. St. Paul's Church, directly across from Adams House, is regular enough to be absorbed easily into the semi-conscious, stuporous mind.

There is no need for a bell so early in the day. Students with the strength of will to go to early-Sunday-morning services have the strength of will to rouse themselves from bed without assistance, and the weak-willed and the unwilling should be left to sleep.
