Heraldry of Harvard University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Harvard University adopted an official seal soon after it was founded in 1636 and named "Harvard College" in 1638; a variant is still used.

Each school within the university (Harvard College, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Law School, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, etc.) has its own distinctive arms as well, as do many other internal administrative units such as the Harvard College residential "Houses" and the Harvard Library. Many extracurricular organizations—​such as clubs, societies and athletic teams—​have their own arms as well, often based on those of Harvard itself.
