<p class="just">Benson graduated from the University of Pennsylvania law school, but practiced law only seven years. In 1877, he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, where his father was a trustee. Upon graduation, Louis was ordained a minister and pastored at the Presbyterian Church of the Redeemer in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He also became a leading authority in hymnology; his library eventually grew to 9,000 volumes. In 1895, Benson helped edit <em>The Hymnal of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America</em>. Benson’s other works include:
