The Seal of Dartmouth College is the official insignia of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university located in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States. The original seal of Dartmouth College was adopted in 1773,[1] and was engraved by Nathaniel Hurd, who also designed the seal for Harvard College.[2] In 1940, the seal was redone as a line drawing by W. A. Dwiggins, and was further modified in 1957 to correct the founding year of the school from 1770 to 1769.[3] Although Dartmouth College introduced a new logo known as the "D-Pine" in 2018, school officials at the time said that it was not intended to replace the shield.[4]
The main shield in the original design depicted a band of Native Americans emerging from a pine grove toward a two-story building;[1] one of them is holding a book. Above the shield in the original design is an irradiated triangle with the Hebrew words El Shaddai. A diagonal label above the trees contained the Latin motto, Vox clamantis in deserto, which means "the voice of one crying in the wilderness",[1] referring to Dartmouth College's origins in training missionaries in the wilderness of New Hampshire.[5]
