| MIT's motto is "Mens et Manus," which translates from the Latin to "Mind and Hand." This motto reflects the educational ideals of MIT's founders who were promoting, above all, education for practical application. "Mens et Manus" appears on the Institute's official seal, along with a scholar and a laborer who signify a union of knowledge and the mechanical arts, as do the volumes "Science and Arts" that rest on the pedestal in the center of the seal. |

| This is a strange little complacent country, in many ways a U.S.A. in miniature but of course nearer the center of disturbance! |
| ~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), U.S. columnist, lecturer. Letter, May 2, 1951, to her daughter Anna from Geneva. Mother and Daughter: The Letters of Eleanor and Anna Roosevelt (1982). ~ |
