Brewster, Lowell, Tilghman Form History Seven parents of the nucleus of the illustrious Class of '47 anticipated Roose- velt's billion-dollar lend-lease pledge of November, 1941, when they bound them- selves in September of the same year for an estimated 589000 outlay to the worthy institution of St. lXfark,s.
