Does anyone out there have an expertise in Latin? (Mine is limited to
the Pig dialect.) Qestion:
As you (better) know, the MIT motto is "Mens et Manus." For an
article I'm wiritng, I want to add "and heart." Is it correct to say
"Mens et Manus et Pectus"? My brother, the scholar, thinks it may be
"Mens et Manus et Pectus Pectoris," but advises me to seek
professional help (which the whole family has been urging me to do
for years).
Can anyone assist?
Thanks.
Best,
Bill
