...Erwin M. Griswold, Dean of the Law School, has made tentative arrangements to appear as a character witness for Fred L. Wallace, a third year law student, at Wallace's February trial in Prince Edward County, Va., on felony charges. Wallace faces a maximum prison sentence of years...
Allen said that since Wallace's arrest he has been in "constant contact" with Griswold, and asked the dean in November to testify on behalf of his client. According to Allen, Griswold "gladly connected" to the request, and the two have made plans for Griswold's appearance as a witness in February...
Humpbacked Spine. "No common denominator, except quality," proclaimed President A. Whitney Griswold, whose 13-year tenure (1950-63) produced Yale's architectural renascence. Under Griswold, no fewer than 26 new buildings were commissioned. He turned first to his own architecture department for a man whose reputation is greater than the number of buildings he has put up, Louis Kahn. Kahn gave Yale its first real 20th century building-a daring new glass-sheathed art museum, an extension to the existing Lombardic-Romanesque one. Kahn, like Corbusier, let the concrete shapes retain the rough marks of the wood forms...
...next architect to catch Griswold's eye was the late Eero Saarinen, Yale '34. Commissioned to do simply a hockey rink, Saarinen achieved a daring structure whose wooden roof is slung from a single humpbacked reinforced concrete spine, so that inside there are no pillars to block the view.

...Locked Doors. In the beginning, the inspiration for Yale's contemporary architectural renascence was Griswold, but since his death last year much of the talk at Yale centers around the bouncy, crew-cut figure in baggy tweeds, Paul Rudolph, Yale's 45-year-old architectural Wunderkind. Harvard-trained Rudolph is regarded by many as the fastest comer on the U.S. architectural scene. His Wellesley Jewett Arts Center was acclaimed as a dazzling display of design pyrotechnics. For the city of New Haven, which like Yale is astir with architectural activity, he has put up a parking garage that...
