Something like: "Look back and look ahead," which would mean, idiomatically, "Look to the future and learn from the past."

Your school shares its motto with some other institutions.

You mean, were they using the motto in 1233? No idea, but there's no reason why the school couldn't genuinely have been founded then. There are some universities that go back at least that far.
