→History: It had compulsory chapel--and it was not always appreciated
Brown did not admit women until 1891, when a women's college named Pembroke College was founded. Brown became coedicational in 1971 when the undergraduate school merged with Pembroke College.

Like most colleges at the time, Brown had compulsory chapel,<!--abolished: when?---> and not all students appreciated it. A 1904 book of student verse includes a lament by one C. S. Mitchell, entitled "Chapel Bell:"
:Hark! the bell—brazen bell<br>
:What a world of agony its clanging notes foretell<br>
:To the slumbrous sleepy student<br>
:As he bids his rest farewell...<br><ref>Boone, Ilsley (1904), College Hill Verse: Being Selections from Student Publications of Brown University, 1894-1904, [http://books.google.com/books?vid=0Ov889qyeUnxOVt4ej&id=zufLsuEUEHgC&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=%22brown+university%22&as_brr=1#PPA4,M1 p. 4]</ref>
