Can a mother be like this?
Alma means nourishing and mater means mother. So to say alma-mater is a nourishing mother implying that a school which is personified as a mother provides intellectual nourishment to her students. St. Xavier's College, a pioneer Jesuit Institution is my alma-mater. It had been nourishing me then since I joined to be graduated from the Department of English, which has honoured me now. On 28/09/2024 this happened as herein shown:
