School motto preference

Despite the high homogeneity of university mottos, there are still some interesting differences in the preferences of different types of university mottos. For example, compared with public universities, the motto of private universities pays more attention to "self-improvement"; Compared with universities founded after 1949, university mottos founded before 1949 are more likely to mention words such as "honesty", "people" and "yi".

From the perspective of discipline characteristics, the proportion of "morality" mentioned in the motto of medical colleges is about 1 times higher than that of other colleges such as "saving lives and respecting morality" of Capital Medical University.

Normal colleges and universities mention "learning" more than half the time, and attach more importance to "people" than other types of colleges and universities. The typical representative is the motto of Beijing Normal University, "Learn to be a teacher and run the world". Also, most schools that emphasize "honesty" are financial colleges.
