Commentary:
The name, "Always Excelling", is in part a tribute to
the University of Chicago which was celebrating its 100th anniversary
when this gift was made. It comes from Greece. Once you know that
you may see bright sun and dancing figures in it.
But if you didn't know it was from Greece, what thoughts would
it create? It is most of all bright; could it make you think of
two pieces of light? Probably not, because that comes from my
head. What comes from yours?
