University Seal Aggie The humble Latin phrase Mens Et Manus, meaning “Mind and Hand,” is inscribed on the North Carolina A&T State University Seal. The University Seal is used only on official, formal and ceremonial documents such as those used for graduation, convocation or other special projects designated by the Chancellor.

THE ALMA MATER Verse I Dear A&T, Dear A&T, a monument indeed, Around thy base with grateful hearts behold thy students kneel. We bless the power that gave thee birth to help us in our need, We’ll ever strive while here on earth all loyalty to yield.

Refrain With joy, with joy, dear A&T, thy students turn from thee To spread thy trophies year by year from Dare to Cherokee.

Verse II Dear A&T, Dear A&T, the signet thou shalt be, Set by our great old commonwealth, proud boaster of the free She’d have the record of her worth on granite not inscribed— Nay, let the children of her birth proclaim it by their lives.

Verse III Dear A&T, Dear A&T, henceforth our aim shall be, By precepts wise and deeds more sure to bless the State through thee; The arts of industry to wield against an idle foe A harvest rich from ripened fields or what thy students sow.
