Young Men Protected
Famed is Chapel street, shopping, strolling, class-going thoroughfare of Yale undergraduates, counterpart of Princeton's Nassau Street, Harvard's Massachusetts Ave., Smith's Elm Street, Wellesley's Washington Street, Cornell's Central Ave.
Famed also is a Yale Record line:
The ladies from Finch
And the Chapel Street ginch
Are sisters under the skin.
Famed also is a Yale toast:
Here's to the girls of New Haven
And here's to the streets that they roam,
etc. etc.
Whatever shoe there is in it was last week put upon the other foot by a Mrs. Annabelle Young, church worker. She petitioned New Haven's Board of Aldermen to pass an ordinance obliging all girls of New Haven over twelve years of age to wear stockings in public or court arrest. Said Worker Young: "A splendid body of students come here each year. . . . I love young people and want to protect them against themselves. . . ."
