Over to Cambridge by arrangement with President Walker.
Found him at breakfast (eight o'clock), rode round to the unfinished Appleton
Chapel, where he soon met me and took me inside. There is no wood-work yet:
nothing but the bare stone walls. He described to me the proposed arrangement
of the interior, which I remarked as quite like an Episcopal church. He
replied: “There is such a thing as church architecture; and as long as we have
undertaken to build a church we may as well have a real one. It shall not
belong to any sect. Here all sects must unite.”
