Allegorical. Under the name the following lines are given:—
Hermes eloquio potens recludit
Fontes, ecce, suos: et ampliora
Vena Pierii fluunt liquores:
Atque arces reserat suas Minerva.
Above is a delightful engraving. Minerva helmeted and robed but without the spear, attended by Hermes, calls the attention of the approaching group of young men to the pile of books on the ground before them, and also to Demosthenes, who on the near-by sea-shore is declaiming vociferously to the rolling waves. Signed, E. Tisdale Del. S. S. Jocelyn Sc.

Allegorical. Beneath the name, which supports itself in mid-air, Minerva (?) is seated, and is directing the efforts of two cherubs who are at work on geographical and architectural problems, as evidenced by the globe and capital before which each bends; to them comes a third cherub, and, alighting on the capital before one of the cherubs, holds out a scroll on which is written ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ. The goddess calls the attention of the other cherub to this message. Architectural features abound in the distance. Signed, O. Pelton. Sc.

A view of the college chapel and one of the halls is shown within a loop of a ribbon which runs across the top of the plate; on the ribbon, Concordia societatis nostra vinculum est. Two clasped hands below the name are enclosed by a ribbon, on which is the word, Amicitia. Rude quirks and flourishes are introduced, and the whole appearance of the plate is rough.
