...been manufactured for the graduates in commemoration of the 250th anniversary, have been distributed to those in Cambridge. They are very handsome, and the design is clever. A back ground of crimson (almost the old-time magenta) supports the college coat of arms. The figure 1636 stands at the head, and 1886 beneath...

...laden baskets, dance about them. Then comes Sileuns, reeling from his ass and surrounded by a fantastic bevy of mymphs satyrs, demons, goblins and bats. We move forward to the 13th of June, 1613, and ill starred Frederick of Bohemia, with his bride Elizabeth, daughter of James of England, heads a stately train.
