Sit Down Men and Wear Armani
The University of Sydney motto “Sidere Mens Eadem Mutato” roughly translates from Latin as “Though the stars may be different, all remain the same”, which is an allusion to the hope that the university is as good as Cambridge or Oxford even though it is located in the Southern Hemisphere. When I was a student, we used to jokingly paraphrase it as “Sit down men and eat potato.” Here the university motto is juxtaposed with an advertisement for Emporio Armani at Martin Place in Sydney.
