In between two columns and large flaming lanterns is an image of the Earth. Behind this is a starry and partly cloudy sky with a full moon. At the center is an open book with the quote "'May blessings be upon the head of Cadmus the Phoenicians or whoever it was that invented books.' Carlyle". Beneath the entire image, in blue ink, is the signature of Joseph Cort. Cort received a PhD from Yale in 1951.
