The motto, ''Postera crescam laude'' ("Later I shall grow by praise" or, more freely, "We shall grow in the esteem of future generations"), is written on a scroll beneath the shield. The Latin is from a line in Horace's ''Odes'': ''ego postera crescam laude recens''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Melbourne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
