This image shows a large white, traditional, old building. The top half of the building represents the humanities (which is symbolized by the embedded text from classic literature which is faintly shown on top of the building). The bottom section of the building is embossed with mathematical formulas to represent the sciences. The middle layer of the image is heavily pixelated. On the steps at the front of the building there is a group of scholars, wearing formal suits and tie attire, who are standing around at the entrance talking and some of them are sitting on the steps. There are two stone, statute-like hands that are stretching the building apart from the left side. 

In the forefront of the image, there are 8 students - which can only be seen from the back. Their graduation gowns have bright blue hoods and they all look as though they are walking towards the old building which is in the background at a distance. There are a mix of students in the foreground.
