Cambridge is kept in its memories as it moves toward its future endeavors. It faces the vast world that lies ahead where the iconic Prudential Center, Citgo sign and Fenway Park can be seen in the Boston skyline. This represents the increasing importance of balancing nature with mankind and the changes that need to occur for there to be a healthy relationship between the two. The pocket watch also reminds us that MIT teaches us to manage our time wisely, as we are sure to run into trouble trying to balancing time with endeavors, as represented by the beaver splitting the use of its resourceful paws between the two items. In its left hand, a pocket watch can be found with its hands at 1:50, signifying the Class of 2017 is the 150th to graduate from MIT. This item transforms into a diploma, a representation of our promise to carry the MIT values with us long after graduation. In the beaver's right hand is a telescope, a finely engineered instrument often used to discover new things a value that lies at the core of the MIT experience. Our beaver holds two items in its hands and has our unofficial motto, "IHTFP" hidden within its tail. The 2017's beaver serves as the centerpiece of the bezel, while the Cambridge skyline takes up a majority of the landscape space, creating a Brass Rat unlike any before.
