On top of the Big Dome sits a model of the Apollo Lunar Lander, reminiscent of the hack from our freshman year and a nod to the 40 th anniversary of the Apollo Missions. The windows of Kresge Auditorium are darkened to read twelve in Braille, a symbol of the diversity for which MIT always strives. On its scoreboard is “X11”, representative of both the Roman numeral twelve and the X11 software that was developed through the Athena Program at MIT. In the foreground is Fenway Park, which will be celebrating its 100 th year in 2012. The beaver looks toward Boston, which embodies the wider world. The curve turns up at the end to show our optimistic view of the future.
IHTFP is hidden in the twigs, and eight ivy leaves are brushed away by the beaver’s tail following the trend of the stock market.
A leaf buds from the side, symbolizing the new energy minor and MIT’s leadership in energy and environmental efforts. Our strikingly handsome beaver sits on a dam of its own making, holding an hourglass in the shape of a lemniscate, representing the timeless knowledge and experience we gain at MIT.
