American Unitarian Hymn Writers and Hymns
Foote, Henry Wilder
Hymn writers; Hymns, English -- History and criticism; Unitarian Universalist churches -- Hymns -- History and criticism
[5]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 19^th 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.

catalogue.
