The term "Alma Mater" results from the combination of the Hebrew word for "virgin" (almah) and the Greek word for "mother" (meter).

LOL! The Gipper apparently doesn't know Latin very well. I'm sorry commander, I don't know why I continue taking peeks at these posts. Must be for the unintended humor.

Alma Mater is purely Latin and means "other mother". The Hebrew "almah" has nothing to do with it. I'll leave now, since Gipp considers me a heretic, but it was just too funny!
