The new church has been built by the Harvard alumni as a World War Memorial. The original proposal was made by the Associated Clubs and accepted by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. The raising of funds for the Memorial was undertaken by the National Committee for the Harvard War Memorial, of which Allston Burr '89 was chairman, and Charles Francis Adams '88 treasurer.
Construction of the Memorial Church was begun in July, 1931. It stands on the site of the former Appleton Chapel.
