II. CHAPEL SERVICES.

The religious services of the university consist of the regular
preaching service in the chapel on Sunday morning, conducted by
representative ministers of all evangelical denominations, invited
mainly from Virginia and adjacent states, and occasional evening
meetings addressed by men of eminence from the laity and clergy.
The general oversight of the Christian work is entrusted to the Association
Secretary. All the details of this plan, which takes the
place of the chaplain system used in former years, are entrusted to
a Committee on Religious Exercises composed of five members of
the faculty.

The list of the university preachers for the year 1911 is given
on page 29.
