live, as one of the best colleges that this country can boast of.
Kick if you will, but kick in the right direction.
FOR some time past there 'has been a growing tendency on the
part of a few reckless students to make it very unpleasant for
those conducting our Sunday Chapel services. On a few
occasions this disrespectful conduct has become so conspicuous as
to cast a disgraceful shadow over the entire student body. This
was brought very forcibly to our notice at the beginning of the
present term, when an old gray haired man, known and respected
throughout the State as a leader among christian men, was inter
rupted during the service by that unmanly and disrespectful
shuffing of feet.
Thus with the words— " I am not through, but will stop,"
closed the address of otie in full sympathy with every college man
present.
The disgraceful conduct was keenly felt by every student with
the exception of a few whose sense of propriety seems to be
entirely wanting. And now upon our College remains the stigma
of having shown a lack of appreciation and an irreverent conduct
toward a man worthy of our most sincere respect. Such conduct
permitted by the student body reflects dishonor, not only upon
ourselves but upon every one connected with the institution.
A man who comes here for the purpose of securing an educa
tion—ignorant of his relation to his fellow men, without the
slightest idea of public conduct, and absolUtely void of respect for
a divine service—should, without delay or ceremony, be apprized
of the fact that this is no place for him.
