==Seal==
=== 1643, 1836 ===
Harvard's shield design with the three open books that read Verita (which means "Truth" in Latin), originates from an early sketch seen in the 27th page of College Book I (the university earliest records) in an entry from December 27, 1643.Seal of Approval - The Harvard Gazette Unfortunately this sketch was filled and went lost for over centuries. It wouldn't be until September 8, 1836 when President Josiah Quincy found the records that contained the shield. Because it was the Bicentennial celebration then, the seal was displayed in a white banner atop a large tent in the Yard.Harvard Shields - Harvard University
