This stein lid shows the Wappen of "Halleriana Bernensis" Bern (Berne); founded on 25/7/1883 as "Akademisch-Naturwissenschaftlicher Verein (ANV)" or "Academic Scientific Association". In 1890 the name was changed to "Halleriana" in honour of Albrecht von Haller. At the opening of the Kornhausbrücke on the 18/6/1898 "Halleriana" made their first appearance as a fraternity, with the motto "Freundschaft, Wissenschaft" or "Friendship, Science", together with the colours of green-yellow-green which are still worn today.
