Vergil's "Aeneid", Book VI provides the Society's motto "Search with eyes aloft" and the source of the emblem, a golden olive branch called the Golden Bough. This is shown at the left of the banner at the top of each page of our web site. The key is partially covered by a scroll with the Greek letters of the Society's name emblazed diagonally across the face and the Golden Bough in the upper right corner. The key behind the scroll signifies intellectual endeavor, which unlocks the doors to other literatures and cultures. The scroll represents achievement, learning and love of literature. The Golden Bough represents enlightenment, friendship, and sympathetic understanding of other peoples. The color of the Society is gold, representing truth, light and intelligence.
