"Emblems of Troy abound in the panels, from the university’s shield to colorful crests and icons that represent the USC schools and residential colleges. Some symbols were chosen from USC’s heraldic academic flags to reflect the longstanding, deep traditions of the university. “Our iconography represents the proud symbolism of the Trojan Family,” says USC President C. L. Max Nikias, who worked closely with the artists for a year to ensure that the panels celebrate USC’s intellectual heritage. “The timeless artistry of these beautiful windows is a testimony to our vibrant culture and rich shared past.” - Alicia Di Rado, USC Press
