A young Cajori probably while still in Switzerland.	A barbed cartoon from the Pike's Peak Nugget.

Cajori played on the faculty baseball team, and here they pose on top of a carriage. Cajori is fourth from the left.	This cartoon appeared in the Pikes Peak Nugget accompanying a spoof book review of "Out of the Mouths of Babes" supposedly by Florian Cajori. The hero of the book apparently steals a large quantity of bread tickets thereby depriving children in Germany of their daily sustenance. The figure on the left perhaps resembles President Slocum, and the figure on the right is Cajori.
