...college life. He eats with the other undergraduates at the scrubbed oaken tables in hall, wears a blue academic gown, is assigned an ordinary three-room suite in one of the "newer" dormitories and shares a toilet and bath with ten other undergraduates on the E stairwell, where Sir Isaac Newton, Lord Macaulay and Thackeray also had rooms. His only special luxury is a telephone in his rooms. His personal bodyguard has moved to another location in the college and will unobtrusively tail him around the town...

In 1929, in Paris, he opened a plant named Danone for his son Daniel, and called its product "the Dessert of Happy Digestion." Success was modest until the mid-1950s, when Danone caught the public fancy.
