波斯特女士(名玛卓莉),波斯特校园的捐赠者
校园以她的父亲的全名命名
The late Marjorie
Merriweather Post was one of the world's richest women, heiress to the Post
Cereal Company fortune, and daughter of its founder, Charles William
Post.
In 1954 she gave her home estate to Long Island University for use as a campus.
The campus was named "C.W. Post" after her father.
Charles William
Post invented and marketed several wildly popular grain-based food
products including the breakfast cereals Post Toasties and Grape Nuts.
Marjorie Merriweather Post,
a brilliant business
executive in her own right, added frozen foods, Jell-O, Maxwell House
Coffee and other now well-known brands to her father's business line.
She built the company into an international enterprise now known as
Kraft General Foods.
