What is the ivy league?
This question has troubled me for some time till today that i know what is it.
It is actually the group of top 8 universities in the US. The term has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and a reputation for social elitism.
Now who is in the league?
I bet you only know Harvard rite. Below are the universities and some of them include rather interesting school motos.
1) Brown university---> In deo speramus("In God we hope") [what a philosophical moto]
2) Columbia university---> In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen("In Thy light shall we see the light") [lol. a bit common sense lol]
3) Cornell university---> "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study" [its i would find. lol. gramatical mistake?]
4) Darthmouth college university--> Vox clamantis in deserto("A voice crying in the wilderness") [hahas so hogwarts]
5) Harvard university---> Veritas("Truth") [Now thats one nice and sweet moto. With such a truthful person like me i should be studying in harvard university.]
6) Princeton university---> Dei sub numine viget("Under God's power she flourishes") [another philosophical moto]
7) University of Pennsylvania--->Leges sine moribus vanae("Laws without morals are useless") [hmm... they seem to say they are producing good lawyers]
8) Yale university---> Lux et veritas("Light and truth") [they possibly tried to fuse Harvard and columbia's moto together lol]
Well still curious about local universities, i went to check out on NUS. Heres something interesting about NUS.
1) The medical library was first housed in the students' reading room within the school, converted from the vacant old female lunatic asylum in Sepoy Lines.
[No wonder they say NUS girls go crazy when they are stressed lol]
2) NUS has a Hollywood lab although i don't know whats it is used for lol.
k thats all lol. see you in university. hopefully NUS or Harvard.
