THESE SHE CROWNS WITH THE PALM AS A TOKEN OF ETERNAL PEACE. HER SHIELD IS AN ADAPTATION OF THE COLLEGE SEAL ON WHICH IS EMBLAZONED THE HONOR ROLL. THE ARBOR VITAE, OR TREE OF LIFE, IS INTRODUCED AT THE RIGHT TO SYMBOLIZE THAT THE NAMES ON THE SHIELD WILL FOREVER REMAIN ROOTED DEEP IN THE MEMORY OF THE ALMA MATER.

THE ALMA MATER WAS FOUNDED IN 1696. THIS MEMORIAL ERECTED IN 1920 | ||||
