Exhibit reveals Stevenson's life Now that the Democrats and Republicans have finished selecting their presidential candidates, Princeton is celebrating the life of one of its favorite sons in a multimedia exhibition this fall. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic party's nominee for president of the United States in 1952 and 1956 and a 1922 Princeton graduate, is the focus of a display at the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library. Entitled "A Voice of Conscience: The Legacy of Adlai Stevenson," the exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of Stevenson's birth. The exhibition runs from Sept. 11 through Feb. 15 and is open to the public without charge from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, and until 8 p.m. Wednesday. Drawing chiefly on the wealth of photographs, documents, recorded material and memorabilia in the Adlai Stevenson Papers at the Mudd Library, the exhibition reveals both the private and public facets of Stevenson's eventful life. The story of Stevenson's life, which began in Los Angeles on Feb. 5, 1900, and ended in London on July 14, 1965, is vividly chronicled as visitors pass from a childhood drawing of his riding a cow, to mementos of Stevenson's years at Princeton, to documents detailing his tenure as governor of Illinois. The presidential elections of 1952 and 1956, which pitted Stevenson against the hero of D-Day, Dwight D. Eisenhower, are well represented, and visitors can experience or re-experience the hoopla and the issues that distinguished these campaigns. The exhibition also explores the last and sometimes trying chapter of Stevenson's career when, at John F. Kennedy's invitation, he assumed the role of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
