Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and Treasurer of Harvard College, 1895-96 Another result of the system which has its importance is the strong interest in the religious methods of the University excited in the preachers themselves. The preachers who have come from a distance and lived in Wadsworth House for six weeks in the year, separated from their ordinary parish work, have been, if possible, more impressed with the happy results of the voluntary religious method, than those who, living in the immediate vicinity, have returned every day to their families and their parishes. An exception in regard to this statement should, however, be recorded in the case of one deeply-lamented Preacher to the University who lived near by, Phillips Brooks, who as an Overseer came reluctantly to the adoption of the voluntary method, but subsequently became its most convinced advocate. The Choir, made up of University students and Cambridge school boys, has undoubtedly helped to maintain and increase the general interest in the Chapel services. The music has grown steadily better and better ever since the boys' choir was first instituted; and many persons greatly enjoy the musical part of the services.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and Treasurer of Harvard College, 1892-93 In looking back on his long and honorable career, it clearly appears that the great service which he rendered to the Uni versity was in so conducting the services of Appleton Chapel for twenty-one years that, when he retired from the Plummer Professorship, it was natural and easy that he should be suc ceeded, not by a single preacher, but by a Board of Preachers of different denominations. His religious opinions and the whole spirit of his professional labors and of his life commended him to various denominations of Christians. He was welcome in the pulpits of many denominations, and by exchanges he brought ministers of different creeds into the College pulpit. His whole administration of the College Chapel broadened the foundations of the religious work of the University. The temper of his mind was constructive, affirmative, and compre hensive; and his daily walk and conversation commanded the respect and affection of all sorts'of men. When he began his ministrations in the College Chapel, it was occupied on Sundays by what was practically a small Unitarian church, consisting partly of members of the University, and partly of other residents of Cambridge; and at morning prayers the attend ance of the students was compulsory. When he resigned, the only policy with regard to Appleton Chapel, consistent with the work Dr. Peabody had done there, was to make it the centre of religious activities embracing all denominations and the whole University, and to abandon the compulsory attendance of students at religious exercises. It is unnecessary to say, therefore, that Dr. Peabody was warmly in favor of the changes in the administration of Appleton Chapel which ensued upon his retirement from the Plummer Professorship. The existence of a distinct church occupying the College Chapel, and connected with the Unitarian denomination, covers a period of sixty-seven years namely, from 1814 to 1881; but during the last twenty-one years of this period Dr. Peabody was preparing the way for a more comprehensive policy.

Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and the Treasurer of Harvard College, 1897-98 In all the sports it is very desirable to develop some agreeable, local competition, so that a large number of crews and teams may always be in practice. Thus, two or three more clubs for rowing, like the Weld Club with its 413 members. Are needed, in order to put a large number of crews on the river and develop a wholesome and interesting competition at home. The large income derived from the principal foot-ball games has a tendency to encourage extravagance in all the sports; but a considerable portion of the gate-money has been in recent years devoted to the permanent improvement of fields and buildings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Reports of the President and Treasurer of Harvard College, 1894-95 Oliver Wendell Holmes, Professor of Anatomy, Emeritus, died on the 7th of October, 1894, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. Dr. Holmes was Professor in the Medical School for thirty-five years (1847 The title of his chair com prehended in 1847 the two great subjects of Anatomy and Physiology; and it was not till 1871 that he was relieved of the subject of Physiology. Not content with the oficial charge of these two vast subjects, he was in the habit of including in his instruction the elements of Histology and Microscopy. In teaching the elements of these last two sub jects to large classes of medical students, he was distinctly a pioneer. He was wisely exacting in regard to the diseco tions over which he usually lectured, and, in consequence, six of his demonstrators and prosectors became eminent surgeons. His lectures were clear, concise, and interest ing, and were illuminated by a keen but kindly wit. His wide reputation as an essayist and poet has somewhat oh scored the fact that for twenty-five years of his prime his principal occupation was medical teaching. His temperament was vivacious and his career brilliant; but at the foundation of his character lay a remarkable capacity for hard, conscientious, persistent labor.
