I is for... Inscription [ABC Sundae]

Spread around campus are numerous inscriptions, signs and plaques commemorating this and that, marking the unveiling or dedicating a building or a piece of art. Some of the inscriptions are pretty new, some old like the one above which sits on the wall of Pearce Lodge. I tried to decipher the Latin inscription above, but no cigar. Anno Domini something. I have no idea. Parts of the Pearce Lodge date from the Old College and the building bears a sign saying “Ann. Dom. 1658″, and the other parts were built in the late 1880s.

All the inscriptions, plaques and signs that I have featured in photos here can be found under the category Signs & Plaques.

ABC Sundae is a fortnightly theme day, occurring every other Sunday, one letter of the alphabet at a time. Click here for more ABC Sundae.
