Architecturally there is even less excuse for erecting a chapel on the proposed site. The plans call for the razing of Appleton Chapel and Robinson Annex, in order that a building in the customary bulldog posture may squat across the Yard opposite Widener, thereby effectively removing one of the few remaining airy-approaches to the Yard.

Cinema is primarily an industry, secondarily an art. Squat, tasteful red brick buildings in the heart of Hollywood are the physical evidences of Chaplin's supremacy as industrialist as well as artist.

Maulbetsch was one of two backs that Michigan has had within the last 25 years who was a consistent ball carrier; the other was Jimmy Craig, brother of Ralph Craig, double winner of the Olympic sprint events.
