Origin of Seal Now Revealed
Ever wonder how the University of Miami official seal came to be?.. A little investigation revealed that it was the winning entry-in a contest-held in 1928 to select a seal for the new university.
The wining seal was designed by Dr. L. A. Hodadon, a Miamian. Dr. Hodsdon’s three children, Nicholas, Edward Emerson, and Mary were graduates of the University.
Dr. Hodsdon’s description of the seal is “A shield (argent) bearing in its field three implanted palm trees denoting three great divisions of knowledge—science, art, and literature; the center tree supporting the motto, Magna Est Verita, and in the base a change (proper) consisting of a temple of learning before a flaming sun of wisdom and behind, tbe pure waters of truth."
