Ways in which the Washington Cathedral has come to fulfill an educational function in terms of its charter

This paper will attempt to describe the history of the Washington Cathedral as an educational force, as provided for by its charter; to criticize certain facets of the Cathedral's educational function as this investigation proceeds in the chapters; and, in conclusion, to make some estimate of the Cathedral as an educational foundation. The thesis has been divided into tow parts: the first part discusses historically the educational function of the Washington Cathedral as seen from a spiritual approach; the second part discusses historically the educational function of the Cathedral as seen from a temporal approach.
