The committee has decided we need a motto, and a Latin one at that. The job description is something short, sharp and shiny which encapsulates ideals of tradition, community/fellowship, and something quasi-medical such as caring. My preference was for a short sentence, but the majority of the committee prefers three words which cover, however tenuously, the sort of ideals mentioned above. So, any ideas? Something original would be best, and I don't mind whether it takes the form of individual words or a phrase. Just out of interest, the University motto (or whatever the proper term) is sub cruce lumen, and I'll offer bonus points if you can link that in as well.

Top #52646 - 01/14/02 03:22 PM Re: Latin motto Sparteye Pooh-Bah Registered: 01/05/01 Posts: 1763 ... and something about golf Top #52647 - 01/14/02 08:07 PM Re: Latin motto consuelo Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/11/01 Posts: 2631 Loc: Caribbean But is it really golf? or could it be a rabbit or a beetle? Top #52648 - 01/15/02 05:43 AM Re: Latin motto Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 12532 Under the Light, Healing Which would come out something like, sub lumine, sanare. Top #52649 - 01/15/02 12:39 PM Re: Latin motto wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 Sub lumine crucis sanare (Thanks, Faldage) Top #52650 - 01/15/02 12:43 PM Re: Latin motto Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 12532 sub lumine crucis sanare would be "under the light of the cross, healing". Top #52651 - 01/15/02 12:55 PM Re: Latin motto wwh Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 13858 Dear Faldage: Since doc comfort would prefer a three word motto, would simply "Lumine crucis sanare" be acceptable? Top #52652 - 01/15/02 01:29 PM Re: Latin motto Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 12532 lumine crucis sanare Sounds like we're treading on the territory of the ablative of means giving us, "healing by (means of) the light of the cross". Makes it sound like we're geting into Christian Science or Seventh Day Adventist. Top #52653 - 01/15/02 02:15 PM .
