...intercollegiate shot-put record. Second place in the same event went to Gordon Dunn. Dunn and Lyman also placed first and second in the discus throw. Two more spectacular firsts-Blackman's in the 400-meter run, Klopstock's in the 200-meter hurdles-gave Stanford the bulk of her points, 35¼, for the title, to Yale's 25½.

...included a 16th Century Indo-Persian rug ($60,000); two Beauvais wall tapestries and four Beauvais panels ($155,000); Rodin's The Kiss ($20,000). Under the will as probated, the banker's son and namesake, now chairman of First National Bank, received the bulk of the estate and personal effects. Two daughters, Evelyn Baker St. George of London and Florence Baker Loew of New York, received $5,000,000 each. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. The original "Commodore" Corneel Vander Bilt left control of New York Central and $90,000,000 of his $100,000,000 estate...
