    1. Centre Seal

      The Centre Seal (1991), Doctrina Lux Mentis (latin) meaning learning is the light of the mind. In 1990 under President Michael F. Adams (1988-1997) a Save Old Centre drive was launched and renovation began. On October 11, 1991 Old Centre was rededicated. A legend has sprung up about the circular brass College seal embedded in the brick walkway in front of Old Centre. The belief is that if two students kiss on the seal at midnight, they’ll end up marrying after graduation. This piece of folklore hasn’t been scientifically tested, but the proliferation of double alum weddings reported in the alumni magazine would lend support to the notion.
