This is a hand drawn draft of the original ram crest. In it, there is a bucking ram and the Aries symbol. Surrounding it, is a ring of letters containing the alphabet. The ram represents the brain and the head, and a copy of this image is seen in the centre of the main ceiling in Montreal Neurological Institute.
