Society, and the members of the college, and the whole subject of the religious needs and interests of the university, and to recommend measures that may seem to them proper and desirable. The gentlemen appointed on the committee were, John Lowell, L. L. D., (chairman), Rev. Phillips Brooks, D. D., Charles W. Eliot, L. L. D., president of the university, Rev. Andrew P. Peabody, D.
