Humanities questions: What does the owl symbolize? In what way is this symbol appropriate in the context of this building and this particular institution? Additionally, was the semantic content (i.e., meaning) of this symbol the same (a) when the university was founded, (b) when it was constructed on its current site, and (c) when the photograph was taken?
