The motto "Ars Mercede Viget" boldly emblazons the image, translating to "Art Flourishes By Its Recompense". This powerful statement perfectly encapsulates the school's commitment to nurturing artistic talent and celebrating its rewards. The artwork is part of a series of cigarette cards featuring schools and their arms and mottos, published by Willss Cigarettes in the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on education during this era, where even tobacco companies sought to promote knowledge and culture. The heraldic symbols adorning this print symbolize strength, wisdom, and resilience - qualities that resonate with both students and alumni alike. The inclusion of weaponry adds an intriguing layer of symbolism, representing not only defensive armaments but also the intellectual weapons acquired through education.

It reminds us that true success lies not only in scholarly achievements but also in fostering creativity within our educational institutions. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print invites us to appreciate both the beauty of art itself and its profound impact on those who embrace it.
