...Grecian design. It stands 16 inches high, and around the neck is the inscription, "University Track Athletic Cup." The decorations on the body represent the participants in the ancient contests for the laurel-wreath which is held aloft by the goddess of victory. The herald stands with his trumpet to his mouth and announces the winner. "Athlonika" is inscribed upon the body and there is also palm branch and seals of Harvard and Yale...
...Lawrence conducted the services in the University Chapel last evening, taking his text from Nehemiah iv, 20.

Moths fertilize Orchids, carrying pollen balls clinging to their tongue or eyes. Humming-birds attack long necked flowers like the Trumpet Vine. Flowers allure these animal friends by colors and odors, and guide them by a beaten path to their goal; they discourage intruders by ingenious safeguards...
