Average Attendance Changes Little
The average attendance at the daily services for the seven months from September to March has been 75, about this same as last year.
The Sunday services began on September 21, 1924. The preachers were, as a rule, the same as those who conducted the daily services. The following however, conducted Sunday services only: the Reverends Karl Reiland, William Lawrence, A. J. Carlyle, M. W. Dewart, J. E. Freeman, Alexander McColl, Howard Melish, and His Grace, the Bishop of Gloucester.
Sunday Service Draws 282
The average student attendance for the first seven months has been 282.
Besides these services there were the Christmas carol services, conducted by Professor E. C. Moore on December 17, afternoon and evening, December 18, evening.
The regular monthly organ recitals by Dr. Davison have been taking place since October.
There was a meeting of the Chapel Committee in the Spring of 1924 to offer suggestions on the ways in which the attendance at daily chapel could be increased. Five points were considered.
1. To change the hour from 8.45 in the morning to 7 o'clock in the evening.
2. To have a special service for Freshmen soon after the opening of college, to stimulate interest among those who are just beginning their life at Harvard.
3. To have the men who conduct the services in "faculty week" men who would interest and hold their audiences.
4. To have during the year two or three services conducted by students--if any could be found willing to undertake the work.
5. To leave the chapel building open during the day for rest and prayer.
