University Anthem
Ring out the battle call of duty !
Unfurl the flag of faith and Toil !
We deem our soul's eternal beauty.
A life-long Victor's worthy spoil.
A thousands such are proudly gone before us
To win and spread our University renown:
'Tis ours to swell with our voices the chorus
And with our deeds enrich her crown.
Chorus
Faith and Toil ! conquer less alliance
Wherein we clasp human hands unto God's !
In his control, find we true self-reliances;
My hand and God's - what`er the odds
My hand and God's - what`er the odds
My hand and God's
Evils onset hold in defiance !
University Emblem and Motto
The emblem of an institution is the central representation of the core values which it stands for. Envisioned by the French Foreign Missionary Fathers in 1882, the emblem and motto announce these core values of the institution.
The emblem is made up of two scrolls, one scroll is placed above the crown, on which is inscribed the motto of the Institution in Latin - "Fide et Labore" which translated to "Faith and Toil" and on the other scroll is placed beneath the palm leaves which bear the name of the Institution. The shield which bears a cross in the centre is symbolic of Christian faith. There are two bees on either side of the lower part of the cross representing hard and persevering work. The crown, which is placed above the shield, is a heraldic symbol of supremacy and glory. The compartment beneath the shield consists of palm leaves that are a sign of victory.
The University motto is 'Fide et Labore' which means 'Faith and Toil'. Faith among other things gives persons a commitment to God, to his fellowmen, to intellectual pursuits. Toil is a necessary pre-requisite for success.
