At their meeting on Friday the Trustees of the Union voted that the seal designed by Mr. R. D. Weston-Smith '86, be adopted on February 1 as the seal of the Harvard Union. Five designs were submitted. Mr. Weston-Smith's design, which is here reproduced, represents, on a sable ground, a castle of a single tower, or; on the castle, above the gate, the Harvard shield in its proper colors. The tower, being the distinguishing feature in the Higginson coat-of-arms, is most appropriate for the seal of the Union. It was the common practice for a college or other endowed institution to adopt the arms of its benefactor. Thus the lion rampant in the seal of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, was borrowed from the coat-of arms of Mildmay, who founded that college; King's College adopted the royal device, and so on. In our case, the single-towered castle is both appropriate and decorative; it is full of symbolical suggestion; it is also simple, and can be easily reproduced for the stationery, table-ware, uniforms, and other similar uses of the Union. The Trustees desire to thank all the gentlemen who submitted designs.
