Quote:The group contributes financially to the University, announcing donations with letters signed only with seven astronomical symbols in the order: Earth, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, and Venus. Saturn is not included.I wonder why this is the case? Why this order and not Saturn? I can see that the names of the planets go alphabetically from the beginning to the end of the alphabet but why no Saturn?
Also is the name 'Cabell' that is mentioned on the Old Cabell Hall is the same family of Earl and Charles Cabell? They were Texans though.
But more likely this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Branch_Cabell Unless of course they are part of the same family. Just curious.
