As the University celebrates its 175th year, we’re highlighting some of the notable people, events, and discoveries that have contributed to Rochester’s rich history. Today, we offer readers an opportunity to test their knowledge of University symbols—and where they might appear.

About one year after URochester was founded in 1850, Meliora was adopted as its motto—Latin for “ever better.” A few years after that, the first campus was built on eight acres of dandelion-covered pasture. As you’ve explored parts of the University—from the River Campus to Eastman School of Music to the Memorial Art Gallery and beyond—you’ve likely noticed how the motto and the official flower are ever-present in its architecture. But can you remember where you’ve found them? Test your knowledge using the snapshots above and check back later this week in @Rochester for the answers.
