Marker ex] By CHRIS DOYLE Gamecock Staff Writer A marker explaining the origins and meanings of the official USC motto and seal has been proposed for the Horseshoe. "Possibly one out of 10,000 students have any idea what the motto means and who the people on the seal are," said Andy Hall, a member of the Clariosophic Literary Society. Hall became interested in the motto after a professor asked his class if anyone knew how to translate the motto. NO ONE knew, and this inspired Hall to do research and to discover the origins and meanings. After he had done this, he decided a marker with an explanation would benefit the students. The motto is in Latin and was written by a Roman philosopher, Ovid, and reads, "education ennobles the mind and inspires the spirit." The marker will also identify the original campus. Hall would like the marker to be made of granite because this material is indigenous to the state and would complement its surroundings. The proposed marker would be one foot deep, four feet wide and nine feet tall. It would be only six International Ho 1 031 Assembly S1 r I vumiiiiim r *am J(with this coupon?n< Jonly at 1031 Assembly Street Laa mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm hb mom warn mm Ec EX mc while helping in the diagni disorders.

THE SEAL will be inscribed on the marker, followed by the identification of the original campus. "The marker will tell that the seal is 175 years old and the i motto is about 2,000 years old. Then there will be a translation of the motto," Hall said. He would like the marker to be installed between the sidewalk and the brick wall that borders on the Horseshoe on Sumter Street. Lamps should also be installed, he said. The marker will cost an estimated $2,400-$2,500 and must be approved by both the Facilities and Grounds Committee and the Buildings and Grounds Committee, a subcommittee of the board of trustees. Hall expects the proposal to be an informal motion, and it may be approved in the next two vvccivo, Iic: AdIU.
