    Alma Mater appears as the central woman figure. In her arms and at her feet are the books which represent the learning created by the university. At her feet is a dragon devouring the books. The dragon represents barbarism, the spirit which hates what is fine and loves what is base. The angels are helping as well as they can to save the books. The youth who bears the shield of Indiana University stands ready to fight for Alma Mater against the dragon.
