Talk:List of university mottos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Taking any random Latin inscription...

It seems that some of the "mottos" of universities listed here are actually their names in Latin. And I seriously doubt that "Hauptsach, gudd gess!" is the motto of any university. It seems to be a saying in Saarland, but listing it here looks like a joke. I added an {{unreferenced}} tag to the page. up+l+and 09:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this is certainly a very rough draft, and should not be regarded as authoritative. Someone with a little knowledge of Latin and some time for research could do a lot to improve the page. Ideally, each motto should be linked to an authoritative source that documents its authenticity. Some read like Babelfish translations (National Polytechnic Institute); others are just Latin versions of the university's name (Universidad de Córdoba). RJO 00:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
