...Nathaniel Spear Jr. is a short, dark, slick-haired Yaleman of 41, a connoisseur of tapestries and an executive head of a group of furniture stores in New York and Pittsburgh. If Mr. Spear wanted to, he could produce one of the most remarkable jingle-jangles of sound ever heard: he could set all his 885 bells to ringing simultaneously. During years of travel Mr. Spear has collected bells from big to tiny, many of them old and odd, most of them ringable-the largest collection in the world. Last week proud Mr. Spear moved them all into his 34th...
Born 60 years ago in Annapolis, son of the late famed Rear Admiral Colby M.

To tall Yaleman Charles Seymour, 52, Yale's Wilbur Lucius Cross, Governor of Connecticut, presented the symbols of office-the mace, the keys, the record book, the charter and the great seal of the university-in sonorous Latin pronounced him the 15th president of Yale. In Latin, President Seymour replied. This 200-year-old ritual completed, Historian Seymour mounted the pulpit, warned that "Yale must be vigilantly self-critical . . . must beware of the peril...
Carleton's President Cowling, a bouncing Yaleman who in 28 years has transformed a small Congregationalist school (alma mater of Pierce Butler and the late Economist Thorstein Veblen) into a prosperous, top-ranking college, should have no trouble recruiting two facultymen of suitable calibre. A perambulating president who likes the world better than his Northfield office, Carleton's Cowling has six onetime college presidents on his faculty, a high-powered board of trustees including, besides Lawyer Kellogg, Lumberman Frederic Somers Bell and Surgeon Charles Horace Mayo...
