Naming Yale as "the best dressed girls' college in the country," but claiming that shoulderstrapless evening dresses were not designed for the modern automobile, Miss Dorothy Lord, internationally famous style expert, last night launched a move to glorify the 1939 Radcliffe girl, in a silkless style show.
