yep, that sounds about right

'mary our leader?
mary leads?
mary is the way?'

i was on the right track,
i'm going to the school and i'm not even sure of the motto

it's in the student handbook somewhere, but i'm just too lazy :p

mary as our leader, mary our leader, mary leads, mary is the way
mmm close enough :D :D

*runs down corridoor, looks at stained glass widnows, comes back*

i can find 2 mottos.

"christo ecclesiae literis"
"vel pax vel bellum"

i think the first one is teh college motto, the other one is some random stained glass thing... it had a deer above it, if that helps...

can any of the resident latinheads translate?

Ours is the second part of verse 8, Psalm XIX:

Nos Autem In Nomine Domini

Some trust in chariots and others in horses; But we in the name of the Lord

that's just silly. it's like saying "either yes or no"... well they're opposites, so of course you have to choose one (or you could be indecisive and say "maybe"... :))
