poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts
and magic, as well as the inventor of music. To the new
SU officials, the word stands for several
desirable qualities that they are
determined to foster among themselves and
translate into action – M for Magnanimous, I
for Idealistic, N for Nimble, E for Enthusiastic,
R for Respectful, V for Veritable and A for
Agile.
