COMPULSION IS DEAD—AT YALE
Compulsoiy chapel drew its last, lingering breath at Yale
Saturday, then grimaced, sighed and expired. It happened after
a more or less peaceful existence of two hundred and-twenty-five
years and the end came after a short skirmish with 1 the student
body, compulsion leceiwng its death blow from its patron, the Cor
poiation. This body, seeing the hopelessness of the ancient, mer
cifully killed it.
Realizing that the student body is not Godless but merely
opposed to the thieat of compulsion, the governing body of Yale
is planning to continue chapel services. The administration, in a
statement made through President Angell, is almost certain that
the change will produce a more wholesome, religious spirit on the
New Haven campus. The Corporation saw the futility of the old
system in trying to force religion into the minds of the students
and is now; prepared to let the undergraduates attend chapel \ol
untarily. «
With the announcement of the abolition of compulsion, Presi
dent Angell expressed the opinion that: “The faculties of Yale col
lege ... after extended investigations, concluded that under piesent
conditions compulsoiy chapel does not propeily advance the lclig
ious tendencies of the undergraduates. Voluntary services, par
ticularly if a beautiful- chapel can be secured for them; adequate
couises in religion with credit for a degree, assistance to the num
cious spontaneous leligious associations of students, all will pio
mote a finer leligious attitude on the pait of the undergraduates,
and more than compensate them for the loss of. compulsory
chapel.. As far as the decision relates to religious services and the
spiiit of worship, it transfers a part of the responsibility to the
student body, with all of the assistance that can possibly be pio
vided by the Corpoiation and the faculty in supplying inspiring
services that are interesting to students of differing faiths and
creeds.”
The Coi poration of Yale deserves praise for the move The
matter was weighed carefully, a little slowly, but after reaching a
decision, the go\erning body did not hesitate to rule out compul
sion Student opinion was respected at last and Yale was allowed
to take a definite step forward.
Student opinion at Penn State'asks for -voluntary attendance
at chapel. When the Y. M. C. A. cabinet takes an open stand
against compulsion, there must be suitable reasons for such action
Cannot our Board of Trustees, when its members convene to dis
cuss the chapel question at Penn State, think and act as did the
Coi poration of Yale ?
ON THE UP-GRADE
Unattended lacrosse games are no more at Penn State. The
Indian game now goes on before the eyes of hundreds of followers;
ians, literally, who thrill to the personal clashes of the gloved
stickmcn. Lacrosse has been rejuvenated here and a striking
spirit among the students connotes a praiseworthy interest in the
sport.
Certainly lacrosse should always receive the same attention
that it is now shown. Certainly a team which has bettered Penn
State’s best record in lacrosse deserves commendation. Certainly
a coach who has raised a standard and set a goal merits praise.
Lacrosse is here; it has arrived.

THE VILLAGE FORD
Under the spreading acorn-tree,
The campus Lizzie stands;
The Liz, an awful wreck is she,
With loose and rattling bands,
And the engine in her quiv’ring frame
Is held with wne stiands.
ITor seat is old, and worn, and haul,
Her surface rough and tan,
Iler crank Is wet with honest sweat;
She staits whene’er she can,
And looks no human m the face
(She’s boon owned by cveiv man).
Week in, week out. from moin till night,
You can hear her honker blow,
You can lieai her climb the winding hill.
With measured beat and slow,
Like the Devil stamping the death cell’s flooi
Impatient for us to go
And children coming home from school;
Look in thru the "missing” dooi;
They love to see the fan-belt slip,
And heai the cut-out roar,
And dodge the nuts and bolts that fly
Like chaff fiom a threshing-floor.
She goes on Sunday to the chinch,
And parks beside a Cad,
And scratches off of it some paint.
And then the chauffeur’s mad;
Blithely says'the campus sheik,
“Send home the bill to Dad "
> That sounds to Liz like another’s voice,
Speaking from Paradise,
She needs must think of him once more,
For in the giave he lies;
Jim drove, one aim about Dot’s waist—
And now, at times, Dot cries.
Boiling—rebelling,—cowering,
Omvaid tlnu life she goes,
Each evening sees her engine hot.
Each morning sees it froze;
, Some things broken, some things lost,
Has caused each night’s repose.

What Is
A Life
Underwriter?
O ne wh o executes a n d d covers
a life insurance policy. In
other words, 1 oj peteon vvEose
business it is to offer the
known benefits of life Insur
ance to individuals, to corpor
ations, to partnerships, etc.
But further, the life under
writer is one who must con
vince those clients of the
benefits offered This means
stimulating contact with hu
man character, and with large
affairs Some underwriters
prefer the game of character
and deal mainly with indi
viduals. Others prefer affairs,
to them Is open the great field
of business insurance.
Furthermore, the business of
life underwriting pays highly
for initiative and ability.
And still more, the life under
writer offers to his client a
commodity which has no risk
in it, docs not deteriorate,and
adds no burden of mental
worry. The life underwriter
sells absolute security, the
foundationofserenltyofinind.
It is worth while to think
these things over now and to
remember them when, per
haps, you find yourself wrong
ly placed in whateverbusincss
you may have chosen.
