Today I did a couple varied projects. I started the day by scanning poems from a former Willamette Russian professor which were compiled into one PDF file. I also scanned two more pictures for the Athletic Department Hall of Fame. Finally, I resumed work on the Wallulahs.
I finished 1962 and am over halfway finished with 1963. I noticed that they've been using the university motto as kind of a theme for the 1963 Wallulah, however it's worded differently than when we encounter it today. In the 1963 Wallulah it's phrased as "We Are Not Born Unto Ourselves Alone" whereas today the motto is commonly cited "Not Unto Ourselves Alone Are We Born." I wonder what prompted this change in phrasing and I'm curious if there's been multiple iterations of the motto throughout Willamette's history. The 1963 Wallulah is the first time I've really noticed extensive use of the motto though so any additional changes may only appear in later yearbooks from the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s.
