Sunday-Closing in the U. C

Sunday-closing in the U. C.—There is said to be a lively Sunday-closing controversy at the University of California. The Christian associations of the institution are protesting against the opening of the library on Sundays, and propose to take some decisive action. A recent issue of the college paper contains the following: "If their opposition is based on religious grounds, the attitude of the Christian associations in endeavoring to prevent the opening of the library on Sunday evenings can only be looked upon as extremely prudish. It was hardly to be expected that university men and women, who are generally supposed to be enlightened and liberal, should take the narrow-minded stand of those who endeavored to close the World's Fair in 1893, and who to-day wish to keep shut the doors of the museums, art galleries, and libraries in our large cities on Sunday."
