CAPPING CEREMONY
VICTORIA UNIVERSITY
COLLEGE
DECOROUS PROCEEDINGS
PROGRESS OF INSTITUTION
The graduation or “Capping” ceremony of Victoria University College—an annual event—took place in the Town Hall yesterday afternoon. There was a large attendance of students and friends, and the group of graduates, with their hoods, on the platform under the decorations left from the Navy League ball made a very pretty picture.
The chair was taken by Mr. Clement Watson, of the College Council, who referred cordially to the attainment of the 25th anniversary of the college… the number of students now exceeded 800, and was still increasing.… and the time had come to consider the establishment of day classes. Most of the students had to work at present.…
The Vice-Chancellor of the New Zealand University, Professor J. Rankine Brown, congratulated the graduates… He hoped that the graduates of the year—
Here the students popped a number of paper bags and sang the song about “John Brown’s Body.”
The Vice-Chancellor concluded.

The following is the list of graduates:…

Black-and-white photo montage: Capping Day Procession in Wellington, on May 29: Students of Victoria College Hold a Merry Carnival. 1925. Photographer, E. T. Robson. Extended caption: Freed from the strain of study, the students entered with zest into the capping-day procession through the principal streets of Wellington. From 11 o’clock onwards they had charge of the city, and they thoroughly enjoyed their gambols. 1. A prediction for 1930. 2. Rivals for the “All Blacks.” 3. A humorous version of the contest between Gloaming and The Hawk. 4. The “vice-regal” car. 5. Huge crowds listening to the speeches in Post Office Square. 6. An “auction sale” on wheels. 7. The procession in Lambton Quay. Citation: Supplement to the Auckland Weekly News, 4 June 1925, p. 43.

A WET, BUT NOT TOO SEVERE, MONDAY:

The ingredients were there for #severe #weather to occur in the #Northland Monday, but #capping in the atmosphere kept it from becoming too widespread and strong.

What we did get was plenty of #rainfall. Some spots seeing more than their average for all of April!

The highest rainfall totals in the Northland over the past 48 hours occurred in the northern half of the region, all in Minnesota. They include 3.99-inches in Sea Gull Lake, 3.27-inches in Taconite, 3.2-inches in Ely, 3.13-inches in Babbitt, 2.88-inches in Snake Trail, and 2.77-inches in both Winton and Hovland.

Other rainfall totals reported across the Minnesota side of the Northland over the past 48 hours include 2.63-inches in Ball Club, 2.42-inches in Embarrass, 2.31-inches in Grand Portage, 2.2-inches in Hibbing, 1.81-inches in Friesland, and 1.63-inches in Grand Falls.

There were only 9 severe weather reports made in the Northland on April 28, 2025. They included hail of up to 0.7-inches in diameter. There were also reports of lightning strikes that caused damage to a tree in Hill City, and a truck that caught fire in Duluth.

This sketch shows the arrangement of #dentils in the classic variation of the #IonicEntablature. It shows the full layout, but most of the top is obscured by the top portion of the #cornice. Only the outside square shapes are actually visible.

Each #dentil has a square "footprint" that is 4 parts by 4 parts (32*32 units) and is 6 parts (48 units) tall. The spacing between each dentil is 2 parts (16 units).

Dentils project 4 parts (or 32 units) from the face of the #fascia on which they rest.

Each face of the fascia has 7 dentils with the middle dentil laterally centered and directly in front of the column axis. The 2 side dentils are on side faces, and that is apparent in the darker shading in the sketch at https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/790782316675150160. Take the time to reconcile this with the numbers listed in #Scarlata's #PracticalArchitecture.

The 3D reconstruction from the #primaryProfileCurves is very similar to that of the #IonicPedestal, with #extrusion, #mitering, #joining, and #capping planar holes as described in https://pixelfed.social/i/web/post/790645054230337543 — just set the dentils aside, for now.

Once you have capped the #planarHoles to get a solid, analyze the edges of the solid in the #CAD program for #nakedEdges and #nonManifoldEdges.

Then, extrude the dentils outline (in the top view) to a height of 48 units (in the front view).

Now perform a #booleanUnion of the two solid shapes to get the complete #entablature.

Finally, check the edges of the solid in the #CAD program AGAIN for #nakedEdges and #nonManifoldEdges.

With this, we have finished two of the three main components of the #IonicOrder. There's a modern version of the Ionic entablature with #modillions, which I will describe later.

Next, we move on to the biggest, most conspicuous part of the order — the #IonicColumn.

`Furthermore, we show that 5′-FAD capping protects RNA from RIG-I mediated innate #immune recognition but does not stabilize the HCV #RNA. These results establish #capping with cellular metabolites as a novel #viral RNA-capping strategy, which could be used by other viruses and affect anti-viral treatment outcomes and persistence of #infection.`
