Note 5 — AMERICAN UNITARIAN HYMNODY
Reading edition
A few graduates of Harvard College (or Divinity School), belonging to other denominations have also written hymns, the most notable being Samuel Francis Smith (1808-1895), the greatest hymn writer of the 19th century in the Baptist denomination; Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) with his one famous Christmas hymn; and, in the present century, Rev. Walter Russell Bowie (1882-1969), but the total number of their hymns is a very small percentage of the number by Unitarian graduates at Harvard.
