Book excerpt: 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.
