THE COLLEGE SEAL The official college seal was designed by Dr. Walton Crump Wicker, past head of the Department of ]Matliematics, who was an integral part of the college from the date of its founding until his deatli, August 31, 1939. It was completed during the summer of 1908 and submitted to the Administrative Committee and the Board of Trustees for approval, at their annual meeting in September of the same year. Upon its acceptance, it was declared the official insignia of Elon College to be used on all college documents of an academic nature. The minutes of the Committee which included Dr. Wicker ' s interpreta- tion of the seal were destroyed wlien tlic Administration Building burned in 1923. The significance of the various symbols is generally known, since they are of Masonic origin, and the interpretation now given to the seal embodies much the same meaning as did the original. Numen Lumen, the Latin motto of the college, is freely translated New Light. The two columns represent strength, and the eye pictured above the lighted urn and the open book is the All Seeing Eye which shines down upon the Urn of Truth and the Book of Knowledge, rej)resenting the guiding principles upon which this institution was founded. The circle enclosing these figures symbolizes the eternal circle, unbroken from eternity to eternity. Eighteen hundred eighty-nine, the date included in the seal, is the date of the founding of the institution. Wherever the use of color is possible, tlie syniljols are maroon inscribed upon a gold Ijackground, these colors being the traditional colors of the College.
