| has gloss | eng: Massachusetts Institute of Technologys class ring, often called the Brass Rat, is crafted each year by a student committee. The class ring has three main sections: the bezel, containing MITs mascot, the beaver, the MIT seal (seal shank), and the class year (class shank). The side surfaces show the Boston and Cambridge skylines. A campus map and the student's name are engraved on the inner surface. The phrase "Brass Rat" is derived from the resemblance of the gold beaver to a rat. Among other reasons, the beaver was chosen as mascot (and therefore for the front bezel of the ring) because he is considered to be the engineer of the animal world. |
