Some interesting things about "square circles"...

• Circles represent Heaven and perfection in many cultures, while the square symbolizes the points of the compass, or our desire to find our way in a confusing world.
• In the history of mathematics, there was a long-standing challenge to 'square the circle' - that is, to construct a square whose area was the same as the area of some given circle.
• There is a world-wide consortium of "round square" schools - mostly private - that promote the vision that "education is primarily about the increase of understanding and tolerance."
