Dear Editors:

In reply to lL. Garfield’s letter may I
suggest that if the Religious Meetings
Committee would not have so mafhy min-
isters who preach at the Presbyterian |
Chureh in the morning, Chapel might be |
better attended. The Presbyterians do |
not go because they have already heard |
the preacher, and the rest of the College |
do not care for Chapel as a Presbyterian |
annex, ‘ |

a hypothetical paradise, the lion and the
lamb live peaceably side by side, Here
anarchist and teetotaler, vivisectionist,

pacifist, militarist, suffragist, syndicalist,

and co-operative culinary reformer meet
amicably together. Within so wide a
range of interest and faith, it might well

| be asked what sympathy or article of be-
| lief seems as a common bond among its

members, The bond is not far to seek.
It is the shared conviction that every
subject, however guarded by authority
and prejudice and tradition, is debatable -
ground; and that the first duty of man
is to carve out from the mass of inher-
ited opinions those which he can assert
with honesty and self-respect as his in-
dividual reactions upon the universe.

COMMITTEE OF MERCY

A branch of the National Committee of
Mercy, consisting of S. R. Smith, chair-
man; M. G. Brownell, S. Brandeis, S. F.
Nichols, has been formed at College.
This committee will work as a sub-com-
mittee of the College Red Cross, but has
been formed with the especial purpose of
sending help to the refugees and _ non-
combatants in Europe. That we may con-
tribute in some small part to the comfort
of the destitute women and children at
this time of year, the committee suggests
that we do not give College Christmas
presents and that the equivalent of what
we would spend in this way be sent to.
