Almost the first thing Pastor-Counselor Peace did at Reynolds was to ask for the chapel, get its design and construction approved and into the works. Then he settled down to learning the job and writing the rules as he went along. Six hours a day for eight months he walked through offices, factories and warehouses, personally meeting 12,000-odd employees. For two hours more each day, he let it be known, he would be in his office for counseling. Only a few came at first, but gradually counseling work increased. Before the end of his first year...
...some of its neighbors. Yet for fifty years this one building was the center of College life in just about every sense of the word--here for the students of seven score years ago were gathered his library, his dining hall, his social center, his museum, his laboratory, his chapel, and his lecture room.

But when the Gore Hall library was built, twenty-five years later, these two lower rooms were combined into a single large hall for Commencement dinners, and on the second floor a Physics Laboratory was established...
...hotheads, but the most conservative, high-church wing of the Anglican Church-the Anglo-Catholics. Increasingly disturbed over what they consider a dangerous drift toward collaboration with the sectarian "free churches" (Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists, etc.), they have been quietly protesting for years at such unity symptoms as the proposed Chapel of Unity in the plans for rebuilding Coventry Cathedral. Last week's service was something more than the customary soft-voiced protest...
