We have leached this decision following a two u ccks discussion of the question thi outrh the columns of the Penn State COLLEGIAN and a two-day lcfcicndtini which jyav r c evi dence that the undergraduates favor abolition to the extent of IGGO votes m the affnmative and 305 votes m the negative As repiesentatives of the student body, and in iccognilion of the opinion ot the undergraduate leaders on the campus, v\e be lieve the following situation to be the cause of the vote expiesscd The element ol compulsion associated with religion is offen sive to the avciage thinking college student It was evident m the discussion that most undcigiaduatcs behoved that lcligion and compulsion should be senaiated. While He recognize that compulsion is moie oi less necessary foi the purpose of or ganization in regard to courses of study, student conduct and the like, nevertheless we feel that it is highly undesirable for that element to mtciteie with an individual’s religious ethics. Moran ei, it is an accepted fact by most of those intimate with the conditions oi daily chapel—students and faculty mem beis m the present and past—that compulsory daily chapel at Penn State is not fulfilling its onginal purpose Designed to create a religious atmosphere on the campus, it has tended to destroy, by attempting thiough an inadequate, meffecient service to which attendance is giudgingly given, a sincere religious feel ing, and has created an antipathy to religious services. Wc wish to emphasize that this petition does not come through any lack of religious feeling on the campus, but on the contrary through a desire foi recognition of tiue lehgiou.s and educational principles. It is our most earnest wish that the Board of Trustees pur sue the policy for w hich a desire is herein so clearly cxpi essed. (Eullpgian.
