Official Seal of the College, featuring its motto — alev apurrtvetv — ever to excel. The open book, a frequent charge in academic shields, is centered above the tri- mount , which derives its name from Boston ' s old name, Tremoni. The Trimount is taken from the arms of the Archdiocese. Emblazoned above, between the two crowns of Boston, England, sets the badge of the Society of Jesus with its Cross and Sacred Nails. The purpose of the college as set forth in its charter is enscrolled about the inner shield — instruction in religion and the liberal arts. The outer circle marks the founding date of the college by the Reverend John McElroy, S.J., in 1863.

RUE knowledge, high and incontrovertible ideals, and understanding Christian Charity mark the delegates of Christ, the Great Teacher. The power of a teacher is not bound up in the subject matter of his classroom, but in the man himself wherever he may be. Generously he gives of his time for his students; and their problems become his own. Such is the man we have come to know as head of our History Department, as our professor in Public Affairs and in Constitutional Law, and as moderator of the Fulton. We are ever grateful for your time and patience, Father; and in our calling in life we hope to give realization to the constructive advice you have thrown out , and in the direction you have sig- nified.
