Use of the University Seal

The official University seal, adopted by the Board of Curators, is circular shaped, measuring approximately 5.5 cm. with a profile likeness of Abraham Lincoln centered within and containing the following inscriptions:

1. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI (around the border)

2. LABORARE ET STUDERE (below Lincoln's profile)

3. FOUNDED 1866 BY THE 62nd and 65th COLORED INFANTRIES

   (above Lincoln's profile)

The official Keeper of the Seal shall be the President of the University. The following guidelines determine the official uses of the University Seal:

1. The seal may be affixed to all degrees, diplomas and certificates awarded by the University, or any official act of the Board of Curators.

2. Any legal agreement binding the University may have the seal affixed.

3. A facsimile of the seal may be reproduced to a desired scale in the school colors, in black and white, or other appropriate colors for uses on official University letterhead and official University invitations,

   announcements, and publications.

The Keeper of the Seal shall be consulted for other uses of the Seal. The following suggestions will be helpful in making any determination on the use of the seal:

1. Only scaled reproductions shall be made of the seal.

2. The seal should never be used alongside other symbols purely as

   decoration.

3. Care should be taken never to use the seal in any manner which appears to be

   in poor taste.
