Quattrochi РІР‚в„ў04 and former class of 2004 President Patrick Y. The class of 2003 Brass Rat featured two men, but the controversy was revisited last year when an information leak from the 2004 Ring Committee prompted 2004 Ring Committee chair Douglas J. Though most of the class was happy with the design, some were upset at the deviation from tradition. The committee received input from the class of 2005 via e-mail, through a committee Web site, and at a committee-sponsored study break.Р”В¬ontroversy surrounding the school seal began three years ago, when the class of 2002РІР‚в„ўs ring included a woman on the MIT seal for the first time.

РІР‚СљThe reason we put the traditional seal was because we felt that most people wanted the traditional design,РІР‚Сњ said Rohit Gupta РІР‚в„ў05, the Ring Committee chair. РІР‚СљSince the founding of the Institute, thatРІР‚в„ўs been our seal, and if thereРІР‚в„ўs one thing on the ring that shouldnРІР‚в„ўt change, itРІР‚в„ўs the seal of the Institute.РІР‚СњР”Р„llison Hall РІР‚в„ў05 said, РІР‚СљI really donРІР‚в„ўt think itРІР‚в„ўs that big of a deal. РІР‚СљIРІР‚в„ўm glad that stuck with that tradition,РІР‚Сњ said William R. This year the audience response was tame when the original school seal was projected onto the two large screens in the front of the room.Р”Р„ccording to the pamphlet distributed at the Ring Premiere, the seal shank РІР‚Сљfeatures the MIT School Seal, unadulterated and in its purest form possible.РІР‚Сњ Two men symbolically hold a book and a hammer to match the Latin phrase mens et manus directly below them. In recent years, students have debated the gender balance of the seal shank on one side of the Brass Rat, which this year features the official MIT seal. Other features of the ring include the Boston and Cambridge skylines, a map of MIT engraved on the inside of the ring, and the Institute mascot, now a more muscular beaver on the ringРІР‚в„ўs bezel, representing a campus health consciousness. Speaking of the ring in general, Nao Gamo РІР‚в„ў05 said, РІР‚СљItРІР‚в„ўs really personalized for our class.РІР‚Сњ The tombstone was inspired by the РІР‚СљrushРІР‚Сњ tombstone hack during the Class of 2005 Killian Kickoff, said Ring Committee chair Rohit Gupta РІР‚в„ў05, adding that he felt this part of the Brass Rat was especially relevant to the class of 2005. The tombstone represents the old rush system, which ended after the Class of 2005РІР‚в„ўs rush and orientation. The РІР‚СљRushРІР‚Сњ tombstone on this yearРІР‚в„ўs ring generated an emotional round of applause throughout the audience.
