Harvard Theological Review
"An interesting incident of the year assures to the Divinity
School the perpetuation of the happy memory and profound influence of
Dean Everett. By the will of his daughter, Miss Mildred Everett, it is
provided that, after certain life interests are discharged, the
residue of her estate shall be held by trustees, who shall apply the
income to 'the establishment and maintenance of an undenominational
Theological Review, to be edited under the direction of the Faculty of
the Divinity school,' in order to carry out a plan, as the will
states, which was suggested by her father. The income at present
available of this bequest is insufficient to justify the establishment
of a review, but it is the intention of the Faculty to begin in 1905 a
more modest journal of theological inquiry, and the amount which will
be finally received will permit the enlargement and perpetuity of a
dignified journal."
Dean's Report, 1903/1904
"The first number of the Harvard Theological Review
appeared in January, 1908. This Review ... is conducted by a
Committee of the Faculty consisting of Professors G.F. Moore, Fenn,
and Ropes. The Review has now a paid circulation of 800 copies,
and its quarterly issues have contained articles of exceptional
theological significance."
