a Friend of Mine Found An Old Class Ring With That Design.

After Researching it, He was Told "LEARNING"

I forwarded This to Him, Maby he can ELABORATE

Jeff's right. It's a stock pattern used for scholastic medals: book of knowledge, lamp of learning, etc. Nearly all manufacturers of medals and academic awards offer something similar. For example:

Judging from the ornate border, I'd guess that this one dates back 50 years or more.

It is the lamp of knowledge. Fraternities use this synbol for learning. My fraternity used this symbol.

Nice find. Joe
