...those stalls not reserved for the ordained. Already Dr. Stires had received a magnificent Bible from Mrs. George Hardwick, his 80-year old mother-in-law; already 80 of his admiring colleagues had presented him with an amethyst ring; already the great procession -so long that the processional hymn was sung through four times -had followed the crucifer up the aisle, while outside on Fifth Ave. motor horns blared interrogatively, and ladies on their way out to luncheon found their cars blocked by a crowd of the curious, who lingered about the steps of the old limestone fane kept...
...smell of burning leaves, and blew back over the moving column of priests, over the officers of the council, over the richly vested phalanx of Bishops who brought up the rear.

Back in 1875 or thereabouts she, with Yale and Princeton, arranged the first intercollegiate football schedule. She is also the home of that deathless hymn, "I'd Die for Dear Old Rutgers!" We seem to see a connection...
