...they span the full life of man, but few men could lead full enough lives to receive all seven during a lifetime. Last week, however, the news service of the National Catholic Welfare Conference (U.

Harvard (where he played end on the football team), Oxford. Grotties speak of "Jack" Crocker as logical successor to Groton's 80-year-old Headmaster Endicott Peabody; and he himself has declined nomination for the bishoprics of New Jersey and Vermont. Last week, after long pondering St. Paul's School's offer, he returned a nolo docere, turned down...
