Mark Catesby's well-loved illustrations of two of Bryn Mawr College's favorite animals. The owl, of course, represents the scholarly sister as its mascot bearing the qualities of wisdom, patience, and mental endurance. The ground squirrels can be found in great abundance all over campus and represent natural intelligence and the protection of reserves. All of these qualities are often attributed to Bryn Mawr students.
