Why "Water~Stone?"

Water~Stone, known in alchemy as the Philosopher's Stone, was composed of the four elements of earth, fire,
air and water. The stone was supposed by alchemists to posses the property of changing base metals into gold,
the most perfect of all metals. It was thought to combine within itself matter and spirit, or body and sold: a union
of opposites in perfect harmony. Water~Stone connotes the dynamic, transformative power of literature, as well
as the search for beauty and perfection at work in the hearts of aspiring writers. The logo type for Water~Stone
is based on a hybrid of two ancient alchemic symbols: one for the amalgam of all elements, and the second for the
element of water as a pure and dynamic force. The amalgam is a reference to the multi-genre, interdisciplinary
nature of the graduate writing program at Hamline University.
