Wallace family funds social sciences building

A state-of-the-art social sciences building will be constructed with a gift of $10 million from Monte Wallace '53 and his children John '79, Gardner '82 and Elisabeth Wallace Trase '83, and Neil Wallace '55 and his children Jonathan '82 and Julia Wallace Bennett '83. ...

Ready for fans

The new Princeton University Stadium will be dedicated on September 19 at 1:00 p.m., before the football team's opening game of the season against Cornell. President Shapiro will speak.
The stadium, which seats 30,000, is designed not only for football but also for soccer and lacrosse, and for hosting civic events as well. Architect Rafael Viñoly will give a public lecture on the project at 10:00 a.m. in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall, and there will be tailgate parties (including one for faculty and staff) and other festivities around the site before the game. Gates open at 10:30 a.m. Tickets are $5 each or $20 for all five home games of the season; for information call 258-3538.

1000 cranes

On June 24, a group of Japanese visitors came to the University on a personal mission of peace and forgiveness for the role of Princeton scientists in the development of the atom bomb. Among them was Ms. Sho, described by her companions as "a woman who is given the mind's eye." In conjunction with their visit to the University, Ms. Sho and her group conducted a ceremony in the Institute Woods for the release of the spirit of Robert Oppenheimer and made an offering of prayers and gifts, including flowers, sweets, sake and a thousand origami paper cranes arranged in rainbow-colored streamers, each marked with the words "world peace." The group held similar ceremonies at the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, President Kennedy's grave and Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and in Yosemite National Park.

Collegiate Gothic

"Princeton chair" made of solid wood, hand-carved by French craftsman Jacques Labesse, was presented to the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures this past spring and is now on display in the University Store. The design of the chair, which is offered for sale under license with the University, was inspired by Princeton's Collegiate Gothic architecture. Labesse, who specializes in reproductions of 15th and 16th-century furniture, works in France in the valley of the Loir (a tributary of the Loire). He is happy, he says, to welcome Princetonians to his workshop at 27 rue Saint Oustrille, Montoire-sur-le-Loir, France.
