-The Eigenbrodt Cup was presented to the College in 1891 by Miss Sarah (Sallie) Eigenbrodt in memory of her brother, Dr. David L. Eigenbrodt, Class of 1831. The //Trinity Tablet// reported in 1891 that "the cup is made of silver, belonging to the late Dr. Eigenbrodt, and is appropriately engraved with an inscription in his memory. It is gold lined and on the exterior is brazed his gold badge as a member of the [[parthenon|Parthenon Literary Society]]." The Cup is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a Trinity alum---receiving this prestigious award signifies extraordinary and significant work for Trinity, the national, and/or international communities. +The Eigenbrodt Cup was presented to the College in 1891 by Miss Sarah (Sallie) Eigenbrodt in memory of her brother, Dr. David L.
