Originally published in 1928, this small volume offers a summary look at three different items - the emblem, the arms and the motto - that have long been associated with the University of Cambridge. The book contains a variety of illustrative details showing the Cambridge emblem and its arms, and considers particularly their uses by the printers of the Cambridge University Press. This is followed by a brief discussion of the origins of the University motto, as well as an appendix showing two further details of both the emblem and the arms with the full motto.

1. The emblem
2. The arms
3. The motto.
