I was able to identify some of the Latin quotations. The block at the bottom is a mismash of things from different sources, and I can't read half of it.
Long live the academy!
Long live the professors!
Long live each student;
Long live the whole fraternity;
For ever may they flourish!
A verse of the Latin song "Gaudeamus Igitur" celebrating school life.Grammar speaks,
Dialectic teaches truth,
Rhetoric colors words,
Music sings,
Arithmetic numbers,
Geometry weighs,
Astrology cultivates the stars.
A Latin verse describing the branches of the liberal arts in education. See here."Where are you going, Lord?"
A quotation from the Acts of Peter, an apocryphal Biblical bookHail Mary, full of grace
First line of the prayer "Hail Mary"/"Ave Maria"Wisdom is virtue
Can't find a source on this. It might be a misquotation of the phrase "sapienta et virtus:" "wisdom and virtue"The golden ratio
