- Excerpt from Feature: February 7, 1996; Princeton Alumni Weekly: The Chapel of Love - For Thousands of Tigers It's the One and Only Place
By Caroline Moseley
When you have walked the long, long aisle of the Princeton University Chapel, or awaited your bride in the chancel; "[W]hen you have taken your wedding vows in that place of size and beauty," says Earnest Gordon, dean of the Chapel, emeritus, "you have been well and truly married."
Yearly, between 65 and 80 couples walk down that aisle. It measures 225 feet, according to Chapel Administrator David Chewning, "depending on how close to the altar the couple advances." Dedicated in 1928, the Chapel has seen three generations of brides and grooms, and of all aspects of its majestic interior - the vaulted nave, the prismatic richness of stained glass - it is the aisle that most sticks in their minds. Virginia Starr Myers walked down it on June 17, 1931, escorted by her father, Professor William Starr Myers, to wed the late Edward C. Kohlsaat '31. President John Grier Hibbin 1882 performed the ceremony. When asked about her clearest memory of that event 65 years ago, she answers immediately, "Walking down that long aisle in my wedding dress, holding my father's arm."
