Then Priest Kurdiumoff presented a loaf of bread and a small silver salt cellar to Mrs. Anne Tiffany, decorator, and to Mrs. Vincent Astor. whose husband owns the hotel.

...Hayes was a brilliant student whose businesslike manner got him the highest undergraduate honor, the Moderatorship of the Sacred Heart Society. He went on to St. Joseph's Seminary (Troy, N.
