Apparently Santa Claus can out of presents for those living so far away. And Dartboard thought that little white envelope was lump of coal enough...
...measly 1,000 English pounds in 1678, these days a mere self-titled professor chair takes a $3.5 million donation. Even that though, seems a trifle compared to the chunk of change John L. Loeb '24, LLD `71 (Hon.) and Frances "Peter" Lehman Loeb handed over in a lump sum in 1994: a whopping $70.5 million...
