PROMINENT MINISTERS SECURED FOR SUNDAY VESPER SERVICES
February 1921

The list of chapel speakers for the second semester as announced by Professor W. H. Wood, contains the names of many prominent ministers. It is hoped that by thus providing for well-known speakers from out of town a greater interest in the Sunday vesper services may be brought about. The preachers for the new term are as follows:

Feb. 13—Dean J. A. Beebe. Feb. 20—Musical Service. Feb. 27—Rev. H. P. Dewey.

March 6—Rev. Charles A. Dinsmore. March 13—Rev. Ashley Leavitt. March 20—Rev. Herbert A. Jump. March 27—Easter Musical Service.

April 24—President C. A. Barbour.

May 8—Rev.8—Rev. Henry F. Cope. May 15—Rev. Edward T. Sullivan. May 22—Rev. R. M. Barstow.

June 5—Sing Out.

Dean James A. Beebe is the head of the Boston University School of Theology. At his recent inauguration he made such an impression for clear thinking and forceful expression that he is being much sought after for college and other religious services. Rev. Harry P. Dewey is pastor of Plymouth Church, Minneapolis, Minn., and needs no introduction to Dartmouth men. Rev. Charles A. Dinsmore, Dartmouth '84, is professor of Religious Literature in the Yale Divinity School.

Rev. Ashley Day Leavitt is pastor of the Harvard Church in Brookline, Mass. He is well known as a speaker with a modern message for thinking men. Rev. Herbert A. Jump is pastor of the First Congregational Church in Manchester, N. H. He was drafted for special service during the war and is a speaker of marked originality. Dr. Clarence A. Barbour is President of the Rochester Theological Seminary, Rochester, New York. Perhaps nothing better can be said of him byway of introduction than to say that he is recognized as one of the leading Christian statesmen of today.

Dr. Henry F. Cope will be remembered as one of the most acceptable visitors of last year. He is general secretary of the National Religious Education Association of America. His latest book on Education for Democracy is being very favorably commented upon. Rev. Edward T. Sullivan is the rector of Trinity Church, Newton Center, Mass. His talk last year was timely and clear-cut. Rev. R. M. Barstow, Dartmouth '13, is now pastor of the Old South "Congregational Church, Concord, N. H. His rapid rise to this position of prominence is an indication of his marked ability.
