The
Legend
of
the
Elon
University
Phoenix
Throughout
history
there
is
told
the
legend
of
the
rare
and
remarkable
Phoenix,
a
crimson
and
gold
bird
that
lived
500
years.
It
was
sleek,
swift
and
strong
‐
the
most
marvelous
bird
ever
created
by
human
imagination.
At
the
end
of
its
life,
with
death
approaching,
it
built
a
nest
in
an
oak
tree
and
was
consumed
in
flames
ignited
by
the
sun.
From
the
ashes
emerged
the
next
Phoenix
‐
reborn
and
renewed,
with
strength
forged
in
fire.
Fire,
too,
has
shaped
the
history
of
Elon
University.
The
disastrous
fire
of
1923
all
but
destroyed
Elon.
Gone
were
Main
building,
college
records,
classrooms,
the
library
and
chapel.
But
within
days
of
the
fire,
Elon
trustees
set
in
motion
the
plan
for
Elon
to
rise
from
the
ashes,
stronger
than
ever.
The
Phoenix
is
a
powerful
leader
and
an
emblem
of
immortality.
It
is
a
perfect
symbol
for
a
school
that
is
constantly
renewing
and
re‐creating
itself.
The
Elon
motto,
Numen
Lumen,
embraces
intellectual
and
spiritual
light.
And
so
too,
throughout
history,
the
Phoenix
has
served
as
a
symbol
of
light
and
knowledge.
The
Phoenix
is
timeless
and
unique.
It
perfectly
describes
an
athletics
program
and
an
institution
that
are
rising
to
new
levels
of
excellence.
There
is
only
one
Phoenix.
There
is
only
one
Elon.
Catch
the
fire!
