Continuing our popular series "College Mottos" the University of Southern California’s is Palmam qui meruit ferat, which is Latin, which is what normal college mottos are, which I took two years of in High School, which therefore I can translate myself. “That ferret…meruit, meruit, what the hell could that mean…”That ferret…something…on the hand.”  “A ferret in the hand is worth two in the meruit."  I’m stumped, I give up.

“Let whoever earns the palm bear it.”

Ah yes, of course, well it was the first two years of High School…“Let whoever earns the palm bear it?”  That is not a google-translate abortion either, that’s from Wikipedia. What could that mean?  I don't know.
