Eleazar Thompson Fitch had big shoes to fill when becoming a professor at YDS (of homiletics, 1822-1861) because "he was succeeding the late President Timothy Dwight" (Waddle, 38). His sermons were poetic yet also "systematic, perhaps excessively so" (38).

The Divinity Archives' collection on Fitch consists entirely of his sermons (1817-1852).

Henry Hallam Tweedy was a professor of practical theology at YDS from 1909-1937. "He was known as a preacher, religious counselor, and hymnist" (Waddle, 93). In 1926, when Yale ended its 200 years of mandatory daily worship services, Tweedy was tasked with "design[ing] services that undergraduates would want to attend voluntarily" (93).

The Divinity Archives' collection on Tweedy is mainly professional: correspondence, writings, notes, and course-related materials.
