The first building erected on the University of Wyoming campus is called Old Main. It was built in 1886 — four years before the Wyoming Territory joined the Union. As you enter through its west doors, you pass beneath a stained-glass window that has watched over UW since its founding. The Latin phrase at its center is easy to miss, but its meaning is anything but subtle: Cedant arma togae. “Let arms yield to the toga.” The phrase comes from classical Rome and is often attributed to Cicero.
