It is extremelv duIthtful if a stu(ent woild break a pane of glass tryi.ng to get to chapel. Ot the their hanld lie might break it trying t.> get away Yet this unwillingness to break a glass dor may he (lue to tIe fact t-hat the students pay a breakage fie: as far as it is known the profe; res ar nit subject to such a fee and mnay d! all tile dallage they wisli.
