...Harvard man may, as you suggest, be proud of his right to display the emblem of his University, but there is no right to display the corporate Seal of the President and Fellows. The Seal happens to contain the emblem but it is not itself the emblem. The Seal has no meaning whatever except to indicate that the document to which it is attached is an authentic, corporate...

...Strub got together, raised $1,250,000, bought 210 acres of the famed Santa Anita Rancho at Arcadia where 40 years ago the late Elias Jackson ("Lucky") Baldwin bred racehorses and where four of his American Derby winners* are buried under a concrete Maltese Cross, replica of his racing emblem. Since last March, workmen have been busy making Santa Anita one of the best equipped racing plants in the U. S. If all works out as its sponsors hope, the new venture should some day rank with Saratoga and Belmont...
