mings were green and white--the
College colors. Several hundred red
Gala lilies and garlands of MALE
were used in the floral decorations.
The costumes throughout were the
familiar academic cap and gown, re-
produced for the sake of harmony in

the figure of Science. in the person
of beautiful young college girl.

whole scheme. Seated above a large
reproduction of the College seal. In
color which adorned the front of the
car and becomingly robed in a white
cap and gown with green trim
mings, she held aloft two wu,te
slaves symbolical OF the power of
pure and applied science and de-
signed to graphically Illustrate her
dominion over the sea and air by
depbcting human progress in the
brief period that Hawaii has been
under her enlightening influence.
The stan in her i..:.t hand sur
mounted by model OF grass house
supported on a miniature native ca
noe typihed the primitive industrial
achievements of the ancient Ha-
waiians. Her left hand, in contrast,
held aloft beautiful snow white
model of a Wright aeroplane, the
scientific triumph of the century.
