The first-ever Math Club Ornament Contest had these entrants: Elaine Moss (an EMC stocking), Josh Smith (a Pascal's Triangle Christmas tree), Dr. Donnelly (a glass ball full of hair, supposedly referencing the Hairy Ball Theorem of topology), and Dr. Porter (a small tub of butter tied with a straw wrapper).
(Dr. Porter did not win. Neither did Dr. Donnelly.)

Dr. Hancock was a longtime chair of the MSU Biology Department, and it was his vision that brought the Hancock Biological Station to Murray State.
