We’re celebrating #WorldLionDay 🦁 with a few familiar felines from around campus.⁠
⁠
Lions have captured our imagination for thousands of years, often symbolizing strength, courage, and justice. Our own connection to the lion goes back to 1869, when Headmaster Robert Traill Spence Lowell created the School seal, taking inspiration from the winged lion of St. Mark in Venice.⁠
⁠
More than 150 years later, the lion is still an unmistakable part of who we are.
