Curiously, his several visits to Yale highlight his later career. In the Presidential Campaign of 1956, he was booed, hissed and spattered by Yale students, as well as applauded. One of the worst mob scenes of the campaign occurred on the Yale campus. His patient comment was that Yale students seemed less well-behaved than students at his alma mater, Prince- ton. His next visit was in 1959 under different cir- stances. He was a private citizen with weak prospects for public office. He was named a Chubb Fellow and embarked on a week's activities at a pace which he called more murderous than a campaign. But later he very often spoke of that happy week before a combination teacher-student, and he was delighted and refreshed by the informal give and take with a new political generation. There was little he did not wish to do. He even listened with determination, being tone-deaf, to the Yale Russian Chorus and be- came a warm supporter ever after. Writing about his week at Yale, he was much more favorable this time in comparing Yale to his alma mater, As a Prince- ton man, I found to my surprise, much more at Yale than I expected-much, much more. His final visit to Yale was at the end of May, 1965, less than two months before his death. By now he had been an oflicial of the United States for more than a Presidential term, and had had moments of real satisfaction and glory and the many more moments of frustration, trial, disappointment, and more defeat. Yet he retained his wry Wit and hope and easy grace, though he had become more ready with temper, anger and fatigue, and was pre- occupied with money, expanding waist line and concern about what he had accomplished in life. Having been named a Fellow of Morse College, he came, on this last occasion, to Yale to pay his respects to the fellowship. XVe had arranged an informal evening and a fitting reception. He toured the College with Professor John Hall and spoke with students in small groups throughout the courtyard. A shoe with a hole in the sole was presented to him by a group of students. He ac- cepted the gift, obviously touched, but grinningly quipped that he really wouldn't need that any- more and it would be more useful repaired! He told a number of stories about himself in the course of the evening, evoking great laughter, and he traded jokes with Professors Arthur Wright, joseph I.a Polambara, Phillip Bondy, Wendell Bell, and David Martin. He was a gay com- panion throughout, obviously enjoying his role as a visiting Fellow. But when he left he was plainly tired and feeling pressed to be back on the job. While the life of Yale was not intimately connected with the course of the life of Adlai Stevenson, all of us at Yale have been in some measure affected by the things he did and the things he said and the kind of political figure he was. Both his successes and his failures, and especially the manner in which he had them, illuminate the problems, the fears and the pros- pects involved in the search by an educated man for a dignihed responsible path to follow in serv- ing himself, his fellow man, and his society. For the example he provides, we warmly salute the life and the memory of Adlai Ewing Stevenson. ROBERT LYNN FISCHELIS Dean, Morse College
