- Description:
- "E. B. White '21. Master of the written word Member of the Sage Chapel Choir 'Life in the barn was very good - night and day, winter and summer, spring and fall, dull days and bright days. It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats,the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.' Charlotte's Web, 1952." Sage Chapel, immediately to the left of the St Francis window in the choir loft, west end of the Chapel, 1989.
