Excerpt from Mornings in the College Chapel, Short Addresses: To Young, Men on Personal Religion Twenty years is a long time to be tke minister of one congregation and wken tli at congregation, instead of being a fixed quantity, is a passing pro cession of young men, marcbing swiftly t/z rougk tkeir college years, tlzen a pace of leaders/zip becomes necessary wkick is likely to slacken as one's own yout/z drops bekind kim into tke past. It seemed to me prudent, tlierefore, to witkdraw last year from tbc administration of tke College Clzapel, and to com mit to younger bands a task wkick kad been at once a daily anxiety and a daily privilege. W ken one recalls tbc venture of fait/z made by tke University in 1886, it is reassuring to observe tk at tk is venture kas become, tk rougk tbc generous devotion of succes sive staffs of Preackers, a part of tlze establis/zed order of University life. Reversion to a plan of compulsory worskzp is quite untkinkable, and t/ze abandonment of worskzp seems equally improbable. A wlz ole generation of college men kave been trained in t/ze belief tkat religion lias a legitimate place among tke interests of tbc University and need ask for notking but a ckance to do its work. Ike problem of Ckristian unity lzas been, not so muck solved, as not encountered. Given a large enougk work to do, and men large enougk to do it, and tbc unity wkick nkt seem tbc end to be reaclzed lzappens on tbc way. Tke cooperation of preackers from various communions, and tkeir residence as pastors, kave seemed to many ot/zer universities and colleges to provide tke most practicable and effective metkod for tke administration of religion in an institution of learning. T bus, tbc future problems of tke Har vard plan seem likely to be, not t/zose of existence or of justification, but of expansion and efficiency.
