Excerpt from The University Hymn Book: For Use in the Chapel of Harvard University The book thus prepared is, in our judgment, a collection quite without parallel in excellence of hymns and tunes. Literary accuracy, and beauty of form, and we have therefore obtained, by purchase from the Univer sity, the use of its plates and have adapted this undenominational book for use in our own churches. To this end we have omitted some hymns which are purely academic in character, or which do not accurately express the spirit of our worship, and have added some hymns which re¿ect religious sentiments and experiences not natural to the youn men for whom the original book was designed. A few hymns for arish ceremonies and occasions not observed in the University Chape have also been inserted. For these reasons in thirty-one cases hymn have been substituted for those in the University Hymn Book, and ty others have been added.
