Definition of "seal": an emblem, symbol, or word used to certify a signature or authenticate a document from an institution.
Western Reserve College/Western Reserve University
1826-1827
Development
On March 2, 1826, the Western Reserve College trustees approved the design of a seal for the new school. Until that seal could be manufactured and delivered, the trustees, on March 3, 1826, adopted the crown and pillar side of a Spanish dollar as a temporary seal. This temporary seal was needed to approve the first official document of WRC, a contract between the new college and Colonel Lemuel Porter to construct the first campus building, Middle College, in Hudson. This temporary seal was needed to approve the first official document of WRC, a contract between the new college and Colonel Lemuel Porter to construct the first campus building, Middle College, in Hudson.1827-1882
Symbolism
This seal features a heart with an open book on it, with the Hebrew character "aleph," and the Greek character "omega," representing the Hebrew and Greek origins of Western thought. The date "A. D. 1826" refers to the year that WRC was established. The motto "Christo et Ecclesiae" is Latin for "For Christ and the Church."Development
On March 2, 1826, the WRC trustees approved the design of the new seal. It was reported at the WRC trustee meeting on August 27, 1827 that the new seal had arrived and was then to be the seal of the school.

1885-1932
Symbolism
This two inch seal resembles the seal of the State of Ohio in its use of the rising sun. "Lux" is Latin for "light."Development
The Medical Department, which had been part of WRC, refused to adopt the new name "Adelbert College of Western Reserve University." In response, Western Reserve University was incorporated in April 1884, and the Medical Department became part of it. Because Adelbert College of Western Reserve University and WRU were not part of the same corporation until 1941, a new seal had to be designed for WRU. At the January 7, 1885 Medical Department faculty meeting, a committee was appointed "to confer with the president and secretary of the [WRU] Board of Trustees as to the proper design of a seal and wording of the diploma and also to arranged to procure them." One month later, diplomas awarded by the Medical Department to the class of 1885 bore the new seal.

Also, an inner band now surrounds the rays of the rising sun. The date "1826," which refers to the date of establishment of WRC, replaces the star.Development
