The symbols in the Marston Morse bookplate

The paper describes the development of a bookplate designed by the author to reflect Marston Morse's life. Below are the first two paragraphs of his paper.

It is my view that a bookplate should reflect the donor's interests
and accomplishments as well as the symbols of the library where the
collection is housed. The accomplishments and reputation of Marston

Morse are so great that my first task, after studying his life and career,
was to somehow narrow my choices from dozens of significant milestones
to a meaningful and manageable few.
Central to Marston Morse's life, of course, was his academic discipline,
where his creativity and unique contributions earned him international
respect as one of the world's greatest mathematicians. The bookplate
design, I thought:, must certainly reflect that fact.

The Hesburgh Library at the University of Notre Dame has a collection of Marston Morse related books.
