Adlai E. Stevenson
f- by Noel
' III — A Vacation
A frequent canard about Steven-
son's education is that he flunked
out of Harvard Law School. What
really happened was more compli-
cated. After his last year at Prince-
ton, lie and a classmate named
llalph Goodwin drove in the tat-
ter's Jordan roadster to spend the
summer uji a ranch in Wyoming.
Ranch lift- proved much to their
liking. Stevenson and Goodwin de-
cided to stay on in the West, began
looking at property ipd presently
found some they thought would
suit them. When Stevenson wrote
to tell his father of the new turn
his career had taken, Lewis Ste-
venson failed to cooperate. He re-
plied that if Stevenson did not
report back on time to attend Har-
vard Law School, someone would
come to fetch him.
At Harvard Law School, Steven-
son got passing marks but, unlike
the later generation of embryo
New Dealers who sat mesmerized
by the pedagogic wizardry of the
great Felix Frankfurter, he never
met Frankfurter and never put his
heart in itt
Stcvensoi ^ did take a couple of
years vacation from law school
and spent them on the family news-
paper, the Bloomington, Illinois, I
I'antagrar 'i, in various editorial ca- j
pacitics. Then he decidcd to finish |
up his law course and, having fall-!

again. He was told '.o come back
the next morning. This continued
for four weeks during which Ste-
venson passed his afternoons In
less monotonous fashion. He lived
m a housp run by two middle-aged
Quaker iadies which was also a
favorite meeting place for mem-
bers of the correspondents' colony.
Stevenson roamed abcut town with
them and called on surviving rela-
tives of slime White Russian emi-
gres whom he had known in Chi-
cago.
His appointment with Chicherin
was never forthcoming. After a
month of daily calls at the Foreign
Officc, he left without it but with
a twenty-five year start on many
of his later colleagues in the diplo-
matic world, insofar as intimate,
first-hand knowledge of Soviet Rus-
sia was concerned.
When Stevenson returned to Chi-
cago in 1927, he joined the city's
oldest law firm, Cutting, Moore
and Sidlcy. Under the pre.-.sure of
new circumstances, his conscience,
always reasonably clear, now be-
gan to shine like a mirror. He
worked a sixty-hour, forty-dollar
week, and his personality expand-
ed, prompting him to take a lively
part in the lively social doings of
the era. Ellen Borden was one of
the most eminently marriageable,
as well as one of the most attrac-

en a year behind his classmates
who had already graduated from
Harvard, h*,«ptered the law school
at Northwestern university and
took his degree there in 1926. His
cousin, Loring Merwin, still runs
the Pantatraplt along independent
Republican lines. Stevenson still
owns roughly twenty-live percent
of the company but resigned as a
director and vice-president after
being elected Governor.
Expanding His Horizon
After completing his formal
schooling, Stevenson decided to
have a last look at Europe before
.settling down to practice law in
Chicago. Starting with Switzer-
land, he covered most of the beat-
en tracks from Scandinavia to the
toe of; Italy. He wanted to go some-1

i rder to effect an entry, Stevenson I
got Hearst INS and I'antagraph pre !

the' first thins he noticed were!

the cobblestones where someone i

back the r.c' ifuirnini; '['lit
ne.vl morning he pic.enlcJ i,n e!l
tive young ladies on the Chicago
social scene. Her wedding to Ste
venson irr December- 1928 was one
of the top events of that Chicago
season.
Divorce
The causes of the Stevensons'
divorce in 1949, while somewhat
puzzling, appear to derive chiefly
from incompatibility due to in-
creasingly divergent inteusls. Mrs.
Stevenson's tastes lie in the world
of art and literature. No other per-
sons, and no scandal whatsoever,
affected the legal proceedings. Ste-
venson, who opposes divorce gen-
erally, was shocked and saddened
but not surprised. The divorce, ac-
companied by a substantial settle-
ment, was handled without rancor
or undue publicity, it had been
preceded by twenty years of ap-
parently happy marriage.
