The various medals that you see celebrities sporting about Cambridge, with the bright colored ribbon, signify what sort of delegate the person is.
A yellow ribbon designates the Physical Sciences, a green ribbon for the Biological Sciences, a blue ribbon for the Social Sciences, a gray ribbon for the Humanities, and a red ribbon for the Governing Board of the University and miscellaneous.
This Badge was designed by Graham Carey '14, in keeping with the seventeenth century commemorative medals. The artist actually cut the die from which the medal was struck, instead of modelling it in a plastic for transferring to the die by mechanical means, according to modern methods.
University Press Rushed
Innumerable posters, catalogs, Tercentenary tickets, and its regular publishing business have kept the University Press rushed all summer, and lately they have been working until 10 and 11 o'clock in the evening.
Upwards of 75,000 tickets have been printed for the three day celebration for delegates, for their wives, for the Symphony Concerts, for Alumni, for students, and many other types. There have also been many special jobs.
At the same time the regular publishing work has been unusually large. "Three Centuries of Harvard," by Samuel E. Morison '08 ran through a large first edition and a second one had to be run off.
We heard a story concerning Sir Arthur Eddington that may have a grain of truth. Sir Eddington had entered Sever Hall and was looking about rather bewildered, until his eye fell on a bellboy stationed there. he approached the bellboy and announced. "I am Sir Arthur Eddington."
The bellboy was surprised but managed to stammer "Yes, Sir." and smile pleasantly. Sir Eddington looked even more bewildered than before.
Cambridge is proud of its new electric buses that run along the streets, using the trolley wires. They were tried out a few months ago and have worked successfully. Their advantage is that they swing over to the side of the street, to make a stop, and let the trafic pass by.
Photographers will be up in the air today and tomorrow. Coops for these taking pictures have been placed so that they overlook the restrum.
