Today's service will be simple and inclusive. Those who are to act as deacons are honored and respected members of the Faculty. We trust that this first public and official celebration of the Lord's Supper here in over a quarter of a century may prove once and for all that Harvard is unjustly and untruthfully called irreligious...
