HI, please could anyone give me the gist of the following? It is on a small badge, with a coat of arms (anticlockwise from top left -scales/hand holding flaming torch/geni's? lamp/wobbly line with 3 dots) which I beleive was my late mothers college badge from 1940's. It was with her things. Many thanks.

sic currere ut obtenere

I am guessing "as you find so shall you get" or WYSIWYG in todays language.biggrin

I _think_ it's "So run that ye may obtain" or "So run that you may win the prize" which is a biblical quote (1 Corinthians 9:24).
