On the open book is inscribed the University motto: ScienZizz CTEICdZ,' Exfolazuf Vitafl' Let knowledge grow from more to more And so be human life enriched, which was originated by our Professor Paul Shorey. The seal made its first public appearance in the parade of the Spring Athletic Festival of IQIO. Its first public appearance in print was in the May,19I2, number of the University of Chicago Nlagazine. For some mouths it has been carven on the walls of Harper Library, both in the ceiling of the reading room and over the west door, center of the south pediment. If the seal choosers worked long, their work was Well done. Nothing could be more appropriate than the phoenix and the book. Nothing has been more vividly associated with Chicago than the phoenix. Phoenix-like the new city rose from the ashes of the old, and, phoenix-like, the new University up-reared itself on the ruins of the old University. As for the motto, we cannot but feel that it is just the one which would have been most heartily endorsed by President Harper himself: 'cLet knowledge grow from more to more and so be human life enriched l - 1' a'ff L1-'Fil 4 ' -, IA 21.12 ::lT427f'fm ik? mf 'L - t ,. 1 1 -Lf gg f F lbw.-':.

Pierre la Rosels description of the seal which he has prepared for the University of Chicago, and which now, for the first time, appears in the pages of a CAP AND GOWN. Translated into plain English, the description reads: A White open book against a maroon phoenix, said open book being outlined in gold. VVe learn from history that it took the United States just one hundred and nine years to decide on a suitable seal for the nation. The original committee, con- sisting of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, found it im- possible to suit themselves and it was not until they were in their graves and their children's children that our fastidious nation at last adopted the eagle and was satisfied. Under these circumstances the University of Chicago has done well in choos- ing a seal after only twenty years of deliberation. The committee, which is made up of hir. Ryerson, hir. Hutchinson, and President Judson, reports now that the design offered by hlr. la Rose of a phoenix rising from the ashes of a Hre, bearing S

LV E:f'f E'i.'l-ygg For the past few summers a large number of undergraduates have taken ad- vantage of the summer courses odered by the Geology department, and have spent an enjoyable and profitable vacation in the out of doors, Last summer the Held courses were probably more popular than ever before. All through the. summer a geology camp was maintained by the department on the shores of Devil's Lake, near Baraboo, VVisconsin, but the most important event was the Colorado trip, which was taken by over twenty students. The Colorado geologists left for Ouray about the first of September and were occupied there until the beginning of college in October. Dr. lVallace VV. Atwood was in charge of the course, and Dr. Salisbury visited the camp for a few days. The amount of actual good which the student reaps from such a course as the Colorado trip is incalcuable. Besides teaching him the truths of geology first hand it ollers him a splendid outing. From the number of registrations which have already been made for next summer,s held courses it would appear that they are at last coming into a deserved popularity. 10
