Initials T.T. In 1782, Paul Revere "cut" a seal for the Trustees of Phillips Academy, Andover. The Phillips Exeter Academy seal, presented to the Trustees in 1784 and used by the Academy until 1952, is an adaptation of the Andover seal. What follows is the generally accepted interpretation of the elements of the seal. "FINIS ORIGINE PENDET": The Academy motto is a quotation taken out of context from the Astronomica of Manuilius. As a school motto, it is freely translated as "The end depends upon the beginning." "CHARITI THEOU": The Greek letters at the top of the seal mean "by the grace of God." It is believed the phrase indicates John Phillips' desire that religion be a deep concern of the school. "NON SIBI": Across the sun, symbolizing the rising sun over the sea of knowledge, is "Non Sibi," or "Not for Oneself," testifying to the philosophy at Exeter that the wisdom gained here should be used for others as well as for oneself. BEES AND TREES: The beehive, with adjacent flowering plant and bees flitting between the two, symbolizes a group of industrious scholars. The pine trees symbolize New England and the oak the tree of strength. The trees call to mind the adage, "Great oaks from little acorns grow."
