Erasmus MC award
This award is made to someone as a mark of merit at the Erasmus Medical Centre. The white felt roll is a metaphor for the medical bandage. During the award ceremony, this is rolled out and hung around the neck of the recipient like a warm scarf. The wool (felt) symbolises love and humanity, which lie at the foundations of the medical world. The following text from Erasmus is embossed into the felt:
‘solus homo sortis suae limites egredi conaretur’
‘but only man endeavours to exceed the bounds that fate has set for him’
