The Crest
The areas of study which are the
objectives of the Club are represented by the four sections
of the Crest - Science, the Fine Arts, Religion, and
Education. The eight small symbols within the sections
represent the departments of the Club at the time the Crest
was designed. The Club's
first permanent home is at the top. In the center forming a
design
around a woman's hand holding the world, are the letters
A.W.C.
