Alma mater is an allegorical Latin phrase meaning "nourishing mother." It personifies a school that a person has attended or graduated. The term is related to alumnus, literally meaning "nursling," which describes a school graduate. In its earliest usage, alma mater was an honorific title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele. Later, in Catholicism, it became a title for Mary, mother of Jesus. By the early 17th century, the nursing mother became an allegory for universities. U
