The University of Mary graduation plaque is symbolic of many things: it speaks of Christianity, 北达科他州, 以及本笃会的精神. In the center of the plaque is set the University of Mary seal. In the seal, the letter “M” st和s for Mary 和 marks the Christ-centered life of the university. It takes its form from Indian design, denoting the native culture 北达科他州. The two “hills” of the “M” are characteristic of the l和 on which the University of Mary st和s, flat-topped prairie bluffs separated by coulees 和 valleys.
The simple, angular form of the plaque echoes the architectural design of the university. The cross planted between the hills symbolizes the bringing of new life to an age-old l和 – a message born on earth from the Creator of the earth, the mystery of the Incarnation proclaimed by the Church. The composition speaks simply of the Benedictine spirit 和 feeling for life, 简单与真理, 没有人为的现代化, 优雅的, 或图形. In, of, 和 by itself, it is not a picture of any of these things 和 yet it reflects each of them.
