Irvine

Boats Donated to UCI: Recent donations of two boats to UC Irvine will mean more money for the campus’ sailing program and for medical research, the university announced. Ship architect C. W. Lapworth donated a 30-foot sloop that he designed. The sloop, appraised at $35,000, will be sold and the proceeds will be used to benefit the UCI Sailing Program. Mildred Mead donated a 44-foot diesel cruiser, appraised at $72,500, that also will be sold. She has asked that the money be used for research by Dr. G. A. Granger in the School of Biological Sciences and Dr. Sudhir Gupta in the College of Medicine.
