...various denominations. Without attempting to discuss the value of such testimony, it may be mentioned that of one of these societies the members number over sixty, and yet it has been often found difficult to assemble the fifteen who constitute a quorum. The statements which have been made in regard to the catholicity which prevails here are beyond all cavil. Not only is it true that the College authorities studidiously avoid anything which might influence the religious opinions of a student, but the students themselves are not sharply divided by doctrinal lines, nor do they make their religion, when they...

This also may be compared to a Unitarian church. It admits all interested in religious things without regard to their doctrinal belief, and seeks to cultivate in them more earnestness and truth. The meetings are free in discussion and remark, but reverential in tone...
