Marqusee, Class of 1951, for the Frank and Rosa Rhodes Collection94.007.1310Round bronze medal featuring decoration in high relief. Obverse features the image of three muscular, male nudes mid-stride, jumping over a hurdle. The hurdle is seen beneath the three youths with a ribbon flowing in the wind featuring an inscription stating, "The Joy of Effort." The edge of the scene is framed with a wreath of laurel branches, symmetrically meeting beneath the figures. The reverse side of the medal features a scene of three nudes this time in front of what appears to be a goal post for a football field. The figures are seen from the side, each with one leg raised in the air as if kicking a fieldgoal (kicking a football). Two figures towards the back have their arms raised as well. A football is seen on the ground between the feet of two figures.Metalwork19016927498Robert Tait McKenzieMedallic Art Co.94.007.131.1stview94.007.131.2ndview94.007.131.3rdview
