...Franqui the highest decoration in the gift of the Belgian Crown-the Order of Leopold. Twinkling it dangled, glittered: a gold edged white enamel cross suspended from a royal crown and resting on a green laurel and oak wreath, at the centre on a black field the golden lion of Belgium, below the motto L'Union Fait La Force. . . . King Albert of the Belgians stepped back from decorating M. Franqui. All the world knows that it was M. Franqui who negotiated the $100,000 000 loan which stabilized the Belgian franc (TIME, Nov. 8).

...Golden Bears of California galloped and lunged up and down a field as green as the Irish flag- but what else could they do?

He was a strange sort of a man, a genius with a Faustian passion for knowledge, a poet with a high ideal of a knightly national regeneration, whose golden dreams were yet all strongly fated to turn to dust and ashes. Buffeted about during his short and stormy life, diseased and almost friendless, he possessed at his death only the clothes on his back, a bundle of letters and the pen which had won him a place in literature...
