Chicago Lawyer Adlai E. Stevenson (Princeton '22) ventured far north in Ivyland, took a seat in Harvard Memorial Church's Appleton Chapel, dandled on his knee plump, 13-week-old Adlai Ewing IV (so christened there), son of Adlai III (Harvard '52). When the presiding minister spurned a christening offering and suggested that the money should go into a bank account for Adlai IV, Grandpa Stevenson quipped: "Here is one infant who can credit his baptism and you with his solvency...
France is full of new chapels by artists and architects and some who are not. After Matisse and the Vence chapel came Jean Cocteau recently to do murals for a chapel at Villefranche on the Riviera. The most peculiar chapel of all is the one designed by painter, sculptor, and architect Le Corbusier.

...Complaint. North Carolina fans have no complaint, and none pretended it was any accident that there were so many misplaced Northerners in town. In 1953, when Carolina decided to beef up its team to make it a match for neighboring Duke, Wake Forest and North Carolina State, the Chapel Hill authorities sent for Frank Joseph McGuire, blue-eyed, wavy-haired son of a New York City cop. After five years as coach at St. John's University, McGuire had a readymade network of high-school coaches anxious to ship him the fanciest talent from the basketball breeding grounds around...
