_Commemoration of Benefactors._--I shall be glad to learn by what
authority an office for the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors is
used in our college chapels, since this office in not found in our Book
of Common Prayer. And, farther, whether the office is the same in all
places, _mutatis mutandis_. In my own college (Queen's, Cambridge), the
order of service was as follows:--The Lesson, Ecclus. xliv. (read by a
scholar): the sermon: the list of foundresses and benefactors: Te Deum
laudamus: proper Psalms, viz. cxlviii., cxlix., cl.: the following
versicles and responses:
"_V._ The memory of the righteous shall remain for evermore.
_R._ And shall not be afraid of any evil report.
_V._ The Lord be with you.
_R._ And with thy spirit."
Then followed an appropriate collect, introduced by the words "Let us
pray;" and the office was concluded by the Benediction.
