( About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detaile...)
About the Book Biographical books, or bios, are detailed descriptions of a person's life. A biography is more than simply the basic facts, like education, work, relationships, and death. It portrays a person's experience of major life events. A biography presents a subject's life story, emphasizing certain aspects of his or her life, and including intimate details of their experiences, which may include an analysis of their personality. Biographical works are generally non-fiction, but fictional works can also be used to portray a person's life. An in-depth form of biographical coverage is referred to as legacy writing. An authorized biography refers to a book written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of the subject or the subject's heirs. An autobiography, on the other hand, is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or “ghostwriter”.

(Excerpt from The Gloria Patri: Revised The Winchester Pr...)
Excerpt from The Gloria Patri: Revised The Winchester Profession of Belief appears at an appropriate place in nearly every service; and, as an alternative, a creed em bodying the five points affirmed at the sessions of the General Convention held in Chicago and in Boston. In the musical portion of the work the aim has been to se cure, not originality or novelty, but the greatest simplicity compat ible with sterling quality and needful variety. Thus, while the musical rendering may be attained by those congregations whose Choral outfit is of the most meagre kind, the metropolitan church will, it is believed, find acceptable a literal use of the services as here arranged; especially as opportunity is given for the additional or alternative use of selections which can be rendered adequately only by accomplished choirs. The Editors accept full responsibility for the final form in which the services appear. Acknowledgments are due, however, to many persons, both of the clergy and of the laity, whose inter est~in the enrichment of the forms of divine worship has been manifested in many valuable suggestions. No one could under take to prepare a book of worship for the Universalist Church without recognizing the transcendent services of Charles H. Leonard, D. D., in the Book of Prayer. That book has been freely used both for substance and for suggestion; and, in not a few instances, entire services have been taken from it.

Elmer Hewitt Capen was born on April 5, 1838 in Stoughton, Norfolk County, Massachussets, United States.
Capen was educated at Pierce Academy, at the Green Mountain Institute in Woodstock, Vt. , and at Tufts College, a Universalist institution, where he took his B. A. degree in 1860. While still an undergraduate he was elected to the Massachusetts legislature as a representative from his native town. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1864, and practised for a short time at Stoughton. Desiring, however, to enter the ministry, he studied for that purpose with the Rev. A. St. John Chambre. He preached in 1864 and was ordained the next year.
As president of Tufts he showed administrative ability, a capacity for work, and an ability to meet all types of conditions. He also held other important positions during his career.
Capen's first church, where he remained until 1869, was the Independent Christian Church in Gloucester, Massachussets. After a year's pastorate in St. Paul, Minnesota, which followed the Gloucester period, he went to Providence, Rhode Island, to the First Universalist Church, where he remained until he was asked to accept the presidency of Tufts College in 1875.
He was at the head of the department of political science of Tufts in which he gave four courses, and he preached regularly in the college chapel. He was also called upon frequently to speak at social, religious, educational, and political meetings. He was one of the men responsible for establishing Dean Academy, and was the first secretary of the trustees. From 1875 on he was also a trustee of the Universalist General Convention. Other important positions which he held were as chairman of the state board of education, chairman of the board of visitors of the Salem Normal School, and president of the New England Commission on Admission Examinations. He showed his interest in extra-academic matters in holding the presidency of the Citizens' Law and Order League during its entire existence and in serving in 1888 as delegate to the Republican national convention. He was a man of progressive ideas and throughout his presidency was thoroughly in sympathy with student interests and activities. For the Universalist section of the Columbian Congress he contributed an article on the Atonement. He was the author of Occasional Addresses (1902), the liturgical portions of The Gloria Patri Revised (1903), and of The College and the Higher Life (1905).
He died in office on March 22, 1905.
