The date of the event was September 1, 1951. Does that date ring any bells? It should, because that was the day Mrs. "Moo" Allen became a house Chadwick Ranks In Wilkinson Voting Stephen J. Chadwick, '70, nearly became Chi Mu's second Wilkinson Award winner in four years when he was selected as one of three finalists in the annual competition.
