School Motto　　

　　 The University had its English school motto first, and then the Chinese analogue of it. The English motto "Unto a Full Grown Man" was taken from Verse 13, Chapter 4, of the Ephesians, in the New Testament of the Bible. The words mean that the school's aim is to educate the students until they become fully grown up men and women. In 1929, the University's Administrative Council passed the proposal by the then President Yang Yung-chin that the Chinese version of the school motto should be the couplet 養天地正氣，法古今完人, which in English means “To nourish the spirit of universal truth, and to emulate the perfect man of the ages.”
