14 Crimson amf6fue by Adri Iones 1996 marks the 130th anniversary of the University of Kansas' symbol. The seal was chosen by the University's first chancellor, Reverand R.W. Oliver, in 1886 to represent the first university on the Great Plains. The seal pictures Moses kneeling before a bush that is on fire but not burnt. According to the Bible, fire symbol- izes knowledge and Moses is thought to represent the humble attitude of the scholar who recognizes the unquenchable nature of the pursuit of truth and knowledge. Exodus says, I will see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt, fExodus Ill, 33. When the seal first appeared as a part of the University, Moses was shown as a bald-headed man. This changed in 1955 when Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy asked Assistant Design Professor Elden Tefft and Associate Design Professor Carlyle H. Smith to recopy the seal. Tefft realized Moses was bald when he enlarged the seal to retrace it. The modifications, including hair on Moses' head, were done to give students the present seal. v 1 ' 1 N, 1 all 1 ,yt l 'gd' ' ' fhfrill tw C o oy' F57
