GU's is utraque unum "both into one."  :mellow:

Harvard's is veritas, which I think is the most badass thing about the school.

I didn't realise you went to Harvard.

University of Rhode Island - Think Big. We Do.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I can't find anything on the official webpage, but secondary sources suggest that U of Manitoba's motto is Floreat, or Flourish.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I don't think UWyo ever got a motto.  On the seal of the University is "Equality" but that is just stealing from the state.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Just curious if anyone went to a school with a really cool motto.  I didn't; my schools' aren't even in Latin ( :().

Michigan Technological University (undergraduate):  Create the Future
Wayne State University (graduate): Industry, Intelligence, Integrity
Université Laval:
Deo favente haud pluribus impar (Avec la grâce de Dieu,
à nul autre comparable)  With the grace of God, to none compared (I guess...)

That was the first university in New France, founded by priests, for priests.  It was a seminary, actually.  They were teaching priests to work in New France's villages. Only after the British conquest was it enlarged to teach liberal carreers, for loyal British subjects.  The French population did not have access to superior education until 1852, so it's the date generally used to celebrate the foundation of the university.


Université de Sherbrooke:
Veritatem in charitate
(La vérité dans la charité)  Truth in charity

Founded in 1954.  The mission was to create a French catholic university in a predominantly anglophone area so as to retain the few francos of the area that were not forced out by the loyalists. And it worked.

"Disciplina in Civitatem"

Which I'm pretty sure means "AllGoodCollegeCoachesComeFromOhioAndIfYouDon'tBevieveMeAskBearBryantAndBoSchembechler".

I tried to find out, but it appears my public administration college doesn't have a motto. :D

I always found mine to be a bit disconcerting.  "Eat shit and die".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
