Exercise 17

Brown enters into a written contract with Ideal Insurance Company under which, in consideration of her payment of the premiums, the insurance company promises to pay State College the face amount of the policy, $100,000, on Brown's death. Brown pays the premiums until her death. Thereafter, State College makes demand for the $100,000, which the insurance company refuses to pay upon the ground that State College was not a party to the contract. Can State College successfully enforce the contract?
