Another Parthenon Virgin Athena rightfully may glory, Proud of her noble shrine, the Parthenon, For though her pagan worshippers are gone The shrine retains her splendor and her story. And even we are like her priests who perished, Who in their lives did.service to the great Goddess of Wisdom; we still dedicate Our lives to learn of wisdom proved and cherished. Truly we know, while through our life at college We follow wisdom, still we follow God; And all these halls where students ' feet have trod Are part of God ' s great Parthenon of Knowledge. — John Rood. The Greek Parthenon, around with the theme of the book is developed, had two main chambers, the cella and the Parthenon proper. The first of these, which served as a temple, has been chosen to decorate the main division page, The University ; and the second, which was a public treasury, is to illustrate University Life , wherein are treasured memories. On the outside and around the top of the walls enclosing these two rooms was carved, in low relief, a con- tinuous frieze which pictured a procession. The Ex Libris and Finis designs are patterned after this frieze. Here are portrayed the classes, athletics, organiza- tions, and other activities that make up the procession of four years at Tayl or. Surrounding the walls extended a double colonade which supported the roof. Above the columns was a Doric frieze of successive metopes. The Table of Contents is embellished with a picture of a sculptor at work on one of these marbles; and the sub-divisions are designated by special carvings for this book, representing these metopes.
