The Brooklyn College motto is Nil sine magno labore. That translates to nothing without great effort. After an hour of looking through wikipedia, the college websites, and some articles about the college in its early years, I could not find why, when, or who selected the motto. I’m willing to believe that the reason is somewhere on the internet, but I have given up hope on where I could find it. I think the motto is a good motto for Brooklyn College and all colleges in general. I think it is a good motto for colleges in general because you should only receive the benefits of a college education via the effort required to get it. For Brooklyn College specifically, they think it works because of the high level of work their students do. While their methods aren’t 100% effective, but it works well enough to give us people such as Bernie Sanders.
I couldn't find a better picture, I looked for half an hour.
