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

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

Some changes may be made in
