Notes: On December 11, 1802, the Saturday Evening Religious Society in Harvard College was established for the purpose of promoting the growth of "practical and experimental religion" at Harvard University. In September 1819, a similar association was formed in the College, called the Wednesday Evening Society. Since the objects of both Societies were essentially the same, it was decided to unite both groups into The Society of Christian Brethren in Harvard University on June 5, 1821. On April 21, 1886, the Society adopted the name The Young Men's Christian Association of Harvard University and became part of the Intercollegiate Young Men's Christian Association of North America. Several years later, in July 1904, the Association changed its name to the Harvard University Christian Association. The Association dissolved on March 24, 1926.
