Albrecht Durer's 1521 engraving,
"Head of a Walrus" When Alfred University established its Honors Program about 20 years ago, we knew we didn’t want it to be one of those stuffy, “overly impressed with ourselves” programs.

So we may be the only Honors Program in the country with a seal (that’s really a walrus). We named him/her, but that’s a matter of great debate. Is it Siggy or Siggie?

We also have a motto: “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”

Like Betty Crocker's, our seal has evolved.
