| | The Tree of Wisdom |
 | | The seven ages of man: infant, boy, adolescent, youth, man, old man, and elderly man. The captions to the right, on the branches of the tree, indicate the various moods or attitudes which correspond to the different ages. |
 | | The captions on the branches to the left tell of each discipline's unique role in the educational process, with special emphasis on astrology at the top of the tree, as the most divine of the arts. |
 | | Both sides of the tree culminate in an empty treetop which represents the triune God, who is said to arrange, create, and provide all things. |
