[Magdalen] Saint Andrew's Collegiate Chapel, PDS.

[Christopher Hart]

A couple of minor corrections, David. First of all, the school in Cambridge
prior to the merger was ETS, the Episcopal Theological Seminary (or School,
not sure which). It took the name Episcopal Divinity School upon the merger
to incorporate a part of the name from the closed school in Philadelphia.
Also the completed portion of the was-to-have-been cathedral in the
Roxborough section of Philadelphia was the apse of the intended cathedral.
It has been turned into a chapel and the rest of the property is now the
Cathedral Village retirement community.
