You know how Penn State's motto is the ironical "Making life better?"  So, that got me thinking:

West Virginia University: "Add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge."  Does it have to be in that order?  What if you add knowledge to faith first and then add in virtue? What do you get, a mountaineer or something? This is the Betty Crocker school of mottos: in a 6-inch bowl pour faith, add 1 cup virtue and a pinch of knowledge. Just a pinch since WVU is the number 1 party school in America and admits 87% of those who apply.

Texas Tech University: "From here it's possible." I guess in vagueness there is depth. From here it's possible to see Austin? They don't mean that.

Stanford (technically the Leland Stanford Junior University (I did not make that up.)):  "Die Luft der Freiheit weht" (I did not make that up). That is German, nein?  "Hi, is this Stanford? Yes, could you tell me why the F%$# your motto is in German? You don't know, uh-huh. What does it mean, do you know that?  'The wind of freedom blows?'  You put that in German?  Well, that blows.
