This is definitely the product of a bygone era, when colleges actually WANTED to court an image of gentility and nobility. I'm assuming the people on horseback are intended to represent the students, but the students as country lords gaming on their estates. The coursing greyhounds imitating paintings of lordly fox hunts. And that castle? Well, that's just bizarre. With that in the picture it's just missing one thing: a unicorn.
