Marsh Chapel is a building on the campus of Boston University used as the official place of worship of the school.

Originally, the chapel was to be complemented by the Alexander Graham Bell tower, a Gothic Revival administrative structure named for the inventor of the telephone and other innovations.

Because of competition from Modernist and other architectural influences, the chapel marked the end of a period of Collegiate Gothic construction on American campuses.

Researchers studying human thought included Walter Pahnke; Timothy Leary, a Harvard professor and later psychedelic guru; and Richard Alpert (who would later become known as Ram Dass).

Thurman exerted an enormous influence on the work of Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King Jr., who studied at Boston University.
