Lawrence M. Colfelt, D.D., was appointed as the first official Chaplain of the College. Previous to his appointment it had been customary to depend upon the services of preachers living within accessible distances of the College, their services be ing available only when they could leave thetir own parishes. • Until 1927 both daily and Sun day services were compulsory but at this time the daily services were; discontinued and it wasn't until the Fall of 1930 that the compulsory feature of Sunday Chapel was abolished.
