OIT CHArEL CONDUCT
At a meeting of the Student Gov
ernment Association some weeks
ago, several members of the student
body expressed their disapproval of
the talking, studying, newspaper
reading and general irreverent atti
tude shown by the students during
the chapel period. For a few days
immediately following this meeting,
the conduct seemed improved con
siderably. Eecently, however, it has
been such as to provoke unfavorable
comment from Dr. Erewer, a state
of affairs wdiich certainly should not
exist in a Senior College.,
Out of respect for Dr. Brewer,
or whoever may be conducting the
exercises, the student body should
assume an attentive attitude as soon
as the organ sounds. When one of
the students appears on the chapel
program she ex])octs, and rightfully
so, the attention of her entire audi
ence. How much more justly should
the president or dean of the college
demand the attention of the stu
dents; and how willing we should
be to give him our undivided atten
tion when he ajipears before us to
speak upon any subject.
Out of loyalty to our college and
consideration for her good name,
the chapel conduct should be above
reproach. Eecause Meredith is a
denominational college and because
it puts religious observances fore
most in its life, chapel hour is made
a part of our daily schedule. What
a false impression a visitor or new
comer must gather concerning the
spirit which prevails on our cam
pus when she notes the general rest
lessness and inattentiveness on the
part of the students during the
chapel period! A studiious girl re
flects credit upon her Alma Mater
on some occasions, but not on all;
and during chapel hour is one of
those times when the girl who
studies brings no glory upon her
self, her teachers or her college.
What history w'e do not know at
ten-thirty, let us not know at eleven!
Out of respect for ourselves and
for God we should refrain from ir
reverence during the chapel exer
cises. The auditorium is God’s
House upon our campus, and when
we assemble there for our daily de-
votionals together, it should be with
a spirit of awe and reverence sim
ilar to that with which we enter any
of the churches down in the city.
iSTo apjieal which the college ad
ministration may make, any num
ber of speeches which may be made
in mass meeting, will have little
effect until public opinion against
irreverence in chapel is created
among the students. As soon as a
majority of the student body awakes
to the necessity of such a reforma
tion in conduct, away will fly the
books and letters and perfect atten
tion will be given at the first notes
from tlie organ. Let’s make public
o])inion too strong for the girl who
talks, reads and writes during
chajiel exercises!
