Over the entry of Kirkland House is the coat-of-arms of the Kirkland family. The conspicuous feature of it are the three large stars, which remind the beholder of the more plebian but more renowned ensignia of another illustrious family.

This jaunty tale symbolizes the democratic spirit of Kirkland, which has less of the boarding school and social elements represented than the other Houses. It has been considered by many as a social desert and a stigma has been attached to its name. This...
...race for three-year-olds. After being far ahead, Gailmont broke down, finished eleventh. Hialeah then discovered that, though Gailmont looked very much like a horse of that name and had raced successfully at Agua Caliente, he was not really Gailmont, but Aknahton again, in a new coat of paint.

...like a truck. To get it started, the manifold had to be warmed with a blow torch. The November day in 1902 when 999 made its stupendous record at Grosse Pointe, Mich., the young man who drove it sat on a high open seat wearing a heavy double-breasted coat. His face, protected by goggles and deprived, by a windmask, of the cigar stump which was already as much one of its features as a nose, looked like a death's head. Driver Barney Oldfield had left school to be waiter in an insane asylum, left the asylum...
