Cornell University was recognized Tuesday by Motto Magazine’s The 10 Best College Mottos for having the best motto among American colleges and universities.

</p>

<p>You have GOT to be kidding me.</p>

[funployee]

<p>Uh…that’s uh…great, but you shouldn’t let your college decision be based on mottos. LMAO</p>

[phuriku]

<p>Wow. Motto Magazine… that’s hilarious.</p>

[milki]

<p>^ Why not? It’s a great way to gaze into the University’s mission! I fail to see why you need a LMAO after your comment.</p>

[phuriku]

<p>

It’s a great way to gaze into the University’s mission!

</p>

<p>Hopefully you’re not serious about this.</p>

[funployee]

<p>I agree with Phuriku</p>

<p>chi-town represent!</p>

[unalove]

<p>That Dartmouth one always scared me, though I like Cornell’s a lot.</p>

<p>I’ve always been partial to Chicago’s, Crescat Scientia Vita Excolatur (“Let knowledge grow, let life be enriched”)</p>

[kk19131]

<p>It’s all about the “Quaecumque sunt vera” (Whatsoever things are true).</p>

<p>Yeah… We at Northwestern don’t take bull… :rolleyes:</p>

[tomatoking]

<p>Brown University: “In God we hope”</p>

<p>***lol religion.</p>

[JustinTime]

<p>I really like UPenn’s…and Carnegie Mellon’s sucks.</p>

[funployee]

<p>haha Clark Atlanta is like</p>

<p>Move out of the way B*tch!</p>

[So_Authentic]

<p>haha Columbia’s Motto is better</p>

<p>“In Lumine Tuo Videbimus Lumen”
[(In thy Light, we shall see the light)]</p>

<p>I also Love Dartmouth’s.
“Vox Clamantis in Deserto”</p>

[kk19131]

<p>I can’t go a day without being censored on this website… :rolleyes:</p>

4
9
6
1
7
8
10
5
3
2</p>

<p>I love the hardcore attitude of Clart Atlanta’s. If there is a school that lives that, I belong there lol.</p>

<p>But CMU’s is really sweet, I think. Integrity!</p>

[the_prestige]

<p>I always thought that “Veritas” was kind of money.</p>

<p>Personally, the best university motto I have seen so far is the one from Faber College (the university in the movie Animal House). “Knowledge is Good”!</p>
